Collide
Running Into Healing When Life Hands You Hurt
What if your pain is the place where healing begins?
Life doesn’t always turn out the way we hoped. Heartbreak, trauma, loss, shame―it can leave us feeling shattered, overwhelmed, and messy. We often try to run from our hurt, but we never get far. Our unresolved pain comes out sideways appearing as anxiety, unforgiveness, friendship break-ups, big feelings and discontentment. But what if healing our hurt is possible? What if our healing can help those hurting around us?
In Collide, Willow Weston invites you to bravely let Jesus run into your hurt―trusting it’s right there that He collides with your mess and brokenness to bring healing, freedom, and transformation.
Through Willow’s own broken and raw story―we are given permission to be real. She will help you understand how Jesus collides with the messiest parts of our lives, not to condemn, but to walk with us, heal what’s hurting, and begin the slow, beautiful work of making us whole.
With honesty, compassion, humor, and deep spiritual insight, Willow helps you:
uncover the roots of your past hurt and recognize how it’s shaping your present confront the harmful patterns and beliefs that keep you stuck discover that emotional healing begins not by avoiding your hurt, but by bravely stepping into it explore what Scripture says about pain, weakness, and the nearness of God experience healing that not only transforms your own life, but also brings restoration to those around you
Collide is a powerful invitation to run―limping, weeping, doubting, hopeful―straight into the arms of Jesus. Because it’s there, in the collision of your pain and His presence, that true healing can begin.
