“You think your life is one thing and then you get blindsided by the reality that it’s actually something else, something you were totally unprepared for,” Julie Marinez recounts about her final weeks in Chile. Five days after Julie delivered her second child, she found out devastating news concerning actions done by her husband. The next thing she new, she and her family were on a plane headed back to the States in a cloud of shame and embarrassment. Just when she thought the worst was behind her, more betrayal and hurt entered her life. During our chat with Julie, we talk about the toxicity of shame, the need for intentional people to reach out to those hurting, and the importance of being obedient in the small, seemingly insignifcant things. Julie knows what brokenness is, but she also knows what it is to be healed.
