Life hands us hurt…

…whether we want it to or not. This hurt leaves us feeling broken, insecure, lonely and stuck. Our unresolved pain comes out sideways in anxiety, unforgiveness, friendship break-ups, discontentment, and big feelings hurting both us and those we love.

But what if healing your hurt is possible? And what if your healing could even help heal the hurting people you care about?

In Collide, Willow Weston invites women to stop running from the hurt we avoid, to instead run into a God who can handle and heal it. Through her own broken and raw story—we are given permission slips to be real. When we dare to let Jesus run into our hurt, it’s right there that He collides with our mess and brokenness and brings about healing and transformation.
