Happy Black History Month! "Sometimes a thing needed opening before closure was found." In 2010, realized that I couldn't continue on my healing  journey unless I came face to face with the brokenness in my relationship with my dad. If I wanted wholeness, I would have to uncover or rather open that wound up...ouch! Yet, in doing that, one incredible restoration story was written. My story continues with my dad, but I had to open something inoder for it to be closed. Today's podcast guest, Darren Franklin is not new to the podcast, he was our first guy on the podcast and co-host to The Bridge Men's series. On this episode Darren shares his "deep valley" story of finding closure by finally opening the door to it. He knew that if he took this brave step, he could experience wholeness on new levels. This is a special edition, as we celebrate black history month and recognize the importance of our men and fathers to the black community and our history. Along with this episode, I'll be doing a replay of the episode with my father, as we open the door to reconciliation and healing that allowed for closure to one chapter and an opening to the next (episode #10).
