Tom Yohe (Hope For Hurting Parents) has returned for a 2nd interview on the Youth Worker On Fire Podcast to discuss his new book called “Moments of Clarity: Wisdom from the Father of a Prodigal”. Yes, Tom and Dena Yohe have been on this podcast before! You can hear more of their story on episode 50 of Youth Worker On Fire Podcast and all about Renee Yohe, their daughter. As well as, a group that started a movement around her story called “To Write Love On Her Arms”.
Tom Yohe and his wife Dena Yohe started on this journey when their middle daughter at age 12 started cutting herself. Tom was a pastor at the time. They thought they had everything under control by the time she entered high school. Tom and Dena felt led to join Campus Crusade For Christ (CRU) as staff. They moved their family to Russia for a missions project and not long after, found that their daughter’s problems had gotten worse instead of better. They left the mission field and came back to the United States of America, so their daughter could have more therapy and this time it included the parents as well.
This episode with Tom will help you even more and his book will be a tool for many parents, youth pastors, educators, and the list goes on and on! For years after their daughter graduated high school, the nightmare continued and for many years as parents they felt lost and not sure what to do next.
Tom fills in the blanks of how his family found help through pain and suffering and how you can too. Treatment programs, relapsing, and how the journey continues. Through it all, God is still faithful even through the guilt, embarrassment, and isolation. So listen in to see how that could possibly change after all these years!
