Darrell & Sherri truly know what hurt is 

all about. When they moved to the Pacific Islands, the Beebe's had their own idea of the story they would one day write about their sojourn there.

That story certainly did not include terror, trauma and abuse. Yet on a balmy tropical evening, exactly those horrors overtook them in one nightmarish rush. But this book is not simply the story of a night of terror. 

It is the real-life story of one family's journey through that terror to a place of peace. How? By using the hidden power of forgiveness. 

Forgiveness, the remedy for life after trauma.

This workshop will help you discover the antidote to hurt, anger, bitterness and fear. Learn how to bring this healing elixir into your life. 

If you have ever been hurt ... If you've ever asked where was God when you were hurting... If you want to heal and get on with your life... 

This workshop is for you.

The Beebe's currently on staff at New Life Church in Rathdrum, Idaho working with seniors; but they frequently travel in the US and overseas sharing a story of Forgiveness and Healing.

Christie Peetoom is a wife, mom of two, and business owner who understands firsthand what it feels like to walk through seasons of uncertainty, pressure, and deep personal challenge. 

Since marrying her husband in 2006, life has brought both incredible blessings and difficult moments, from financial strain and family struggles to the weight of entrepreneurship and the complexities of raising a family.

In some of her hardest seasons, Christie has experienced feelings of loneliness, exhaustion, anxiety, and even hopelessness. Yet through each of those moments, her faith has remained her anchor. She has seen God show up in both powerful and quiet ways, not always changing her circumstances, but faithfully walking beside her through them.

One of the most defining chapters of her life came when her family made a life-altering move to Idaho. Leaving behind everything familiar, her community, her dance studio she owned and loved, and a sense of stability, she stepped into the unknown. What once felt like loss and uncertainty became a turning point, where God began to rebuild, refine, and redirect her life in ways she never could have planned. 

She began a new career in real estate and it became a season of growth, clarity, and renewed purpose. Since, she has been blessed with many opportunities to help others through education and teaching. God knew her greatest desire to serve and has continually opened the doors.

Today, Christie carries a deep conviction that even in life’s darkest moments, there is purpose, and there is hope. Her greatest passion is helping others rediscover that hope and step into a life of meaning, no matter what they are walking through.

Dave McBroom served as a pastor for 21 years at Solid Rock, where his heart for people, Scripture, and authentic faith shaped a ministry centered on hope, truth, and walking with others through real life. 

After decades in pastoral leadership, Dave now focuses on encouraging others through writing, speaking, and relational ministry … especially with those navigating grief, loss, and major life transitions. 

Dave is the author of Grieve Well to Live Well, a deeply personal and hope-filled book born out of his own journey through loss. With honesty, faith, and compassion, Dave invites readers to discover that while grief changes us, it does not have to define or diminish us. In addition to writing and speaking.

Dave currently leads a small group of men, meeting regularly to foster honest conversation, spiritual growth, and encouragement. His passion is helping people grieve well so they can ultimately live well … rooted in faith, supported by community, and open to renewed purpose.

He is known for his steady presence, thoughtful decision making, and ability to guide individuals and teams through both growth and adversity.

In 2009, Dave experienced a life altering traumatic brain injury that nearly took his life. Doctors believed that even if he survived, he would never fully recover.
