I'll never forget when I first moved out on my own. Not college. That's a pretend world. All of your meals are provided, all of your needs met. Such a false sense of reality. When I was out on my own, for real and had to provide for myself, find a job, make my own meals, and all of the things, I was blessed with incredible roommates to help me find my way. Yet we all shared one thing in common—father wounds. It wasn't something we necessarily talked about—at first, but then it showed up in unexpected ways and we knew it had to be dealt with. 

Here we were, four broken young women, trying to survive on our own without fully understanding our value. Our worth. So we went to the Bible. I remember sitting in our living room while we talked about how important it is to view God for who He is, not who we think He is based on our experiences with our fathers. 

This was life-changing. 

One girl shared how she always view God standing over her with a big stick, ready to beat her anytime she did anything wrong. Another mentioned how her father never once told her he loved her and had a hard time believing that God the Father truly did. We all knew what the Bible said, but wrapping our minds around it was something entirely different. I had my own internal struggles with how I viewed God that I kept to myself at the time, but that conversation made me think and will stay with me forever. 

Why? Because over 25 years later, I have learned and healed. Forgiven and trusted. All because God the Father has taught me how. Even if your earthly father didn't know how to show affection or love in a way that was needed, God does, and will if you let Him.

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.(Revelation 3:20) 

We live in a messy world with broken people. So how does a young woman cope when their view of men has been tainted from childhood? This film shares raw, honest, and heartfelt stories of women who hit rock bottom and were rescued by their heavenly Father. The common thread between them all is their relationship with their fathers and how it changed the course of their lives forever. I appreciated the stories shared in this film and the vulnerability of the women that came forward. This is not a topic that is addressed enough, though it is often the root cause of many issues plaguing women in their workplaces, marriages, and friendships. 

This film is a must-see for those in ministry, parents, caregivers, and women who struggle with past hurts.
