A Guide To Loving Yourself...And Others Part 1 May 18th, 2025 Series on Emotions

"You are worth loving—right now. You’re not missing anything. You’re not lacking. And your life isn’t wrong."
This message isn’t about surface-level self-help or quick fixes. It’s about the deep stuff—what you see when you look in the mirror, and how to finally make peace with it.
In A Guide to Loving Yourself… And Others (Part 1), Chaplain Heidi Woldhuis delivers a raw, funny, and deeply moving talk about our struggles with insecurity, body image, comparison, and worth. It’s not sugarcoated, and it’s not preachy—but it is packed with truth, grace, and the reminder that you don’t have to change a single hair on your head for God to love you.
This one hit home for a lot of us. Watch the full message on YouTube or catch the audio version on the Set Free 24-7 podcast.

Mother's Day Emotions 2025 AUDIO PODCAST Outreach 419

“I’m not gonna sit and long for what I lost… when I’ve been doubly blessed.”
This Mother's Day message from Chaplain Heidi Woldhuis goes far beyond flowers and photo booths. It's for the moms who are grieving, the ones navigating estranged relationships, and those who carry shame from their past but still long for healing. Heidi opens up about the loss of her own mother, the heartache of broken connections with her children, and the way God has gently restored what was once lost through the community of Outreach 419.
This isn’t the typical Mother’s Day talk—it’s honest, raw, and full of faith. With deep empathy and grace, Heidi shares:
“I'm done stewing over what I don't have… because God has already answered prayers I didn't even realize were being answered.”
Whether you're celebrating today or struggling just to show up, this message is for you.

🎥 Kenny K. Gets Real About Recovery and the 419 Community
Kenny K has been part of Outreach 419 from the beginning, and he sat down with me to talk about what this place really means to him.
“This is a nonjudgmental place,” Kenny said. “I can take a nap, have something to eat, ask questions, and I’ll get help finding the answers. 419 is a stress-free environment. If you don’t know your next step—this place will help you figure it out.”
He opened up about life after incarceration, relapse, the pain of losing five family members to overdose, and what finally made things click this time around. “I’ve had it all and lost it all—multiple times. I’m not losing it no more.”
What makes 419 different? Kenny puts it best: “It’s not just you and Heidi—it’s all of us. A lot of warm hearts here. A lot of caring hearts. If you don’t have the answer, somebody in this community does.”
