Shattered People Series

Auteur

Michael E. Chalberg is pastor and cofounder of Shepherds Care Ministries home-based in Gilbert, Arizona. He offers 3 primary areas of ministry; Pastoral Counseling & Mentoring over the Internet and privately; Christian Renewal as an Intentional Interim Pastor & Consultant; and building Community Outreaches out of churches. He worked in the interim ministry for 23 years offering renewal and healing to troubled communities of faith as a pastor/consultant using conflict resolution, leadership training, restoration of Biblical Disciplines, instruction in spiritual warfare and deliverance ministry, and establishing prayer teams as the foundation for all ministries to support a laity-empowered church to the broken-hearted of the world. He has been in ministry for 44 years. The past 26 years he has specialized in pastoral counseling to survivors of ritual abuses; Clergy Abuse, sexual abuse, Satanic Ritual Abuse, Human Trafficking of Minors and other abuses like incest, pornography and Domestic Violence which can result in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Dissociative Identity Disorder (a.k.a. MPD) and other trauma induced issues in adults and children. Some of his clients gave permission to publish their spiritual journeys of healing with him in the first book series entitled, Shattered People: Journeys to: Joy (2003) Love (2005). Their stories include his commentary as counselor, pastor, friend and fellow traveler. This ministry includes SCPublishing to provide education /self-help information to survivors and those who are caregivers for them. Now, 17 years later, SCP is adding another series "Loved Back to Life" in May 2020 with autobiographical books from various authors telling their stories of surviving severe abuse and trauma with Jesus' power & love to heal and redeem...true stories revealed to Pastor Mike since 2003 to encourage healing of all. He began this free counseling service as an extension of ministries started in 1989 to include an Internet based chatroom weekly reaching an international audience in need of counseling for ritual abuse and trauma. Here, both survivors and the people who care for them can come together for the soul purpose of learning about God's methods of spiritual healing in the midst of spiritual warfare, alongside of the SCM staff and fellow survivors on their healing journeys. He provides a 'virtual' church office atmosphere. Topics discussed include personal histories and experiences in the healing process, spiritual warfare, deliverance ministry and the development of spiritual gifts for survival. Private counseling is given as well via emails, private chat rooms, phone and video conferencing. He moved his ministries in 2010 to Arizona to create Starbright Foundation Inc. with partners in ministry focusing on children/minors caught up in human sex trafficking, by providing free support for rescues, protection, counseling, safe-housing and education to heal the traumas they endured. SFI expanded to include training of law enforcement, first responders, school systems, childcare workers, foster parents, churches, families and social groups... anyone who will listen about how to get involved in intervention and prevention of this criminal industry. He and his wife Carol (SCM cofounder) are graduates of Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, California. He has a Master of Divinity - Pastoral Care and Counseling and Carol has a Master of Arts in Theology.

Shattered People Series: Journeys to Joy follows the first two years of 16 of a journey to find and know the truth about God's love directly from God Himself. Learn how these people break free of the abusive control maintained over their lives and memories by people and priests who came in the name of God and claim to be acting under His authority. These remarkable true stories follow an individual with Multiple Personality Disorder, a survival mechanism initiated by a lifetime of abuse, struggling to find spiritual healing and 'wholeness' through the unconditional love of Jesus. Recorded in the words of those persons' experiencing them, some of life's hardest issues are investigated, illustrated and documented in these books; spiritual warfare, clergy abuse, Satanic Ritual Abuse, evil in everyday life, spiritual healing and the reality of the power of the Kingdom of God at work in and around us. As the author of this series and a pastor & counselor specializing in spiritual issues I include a running commentary of their journey as a clinical study of their journey with their first counselor and then with me. I include definitions of terms used for understanding the care given then and what we learn together about God's love, healing, plans and will for all of His children. How God chooses to reveal His love and power, while confronting evil in the midst of their pain and suffering, through forgiveness, mercy and truth will challenge your concepts of Him and His love. Our purposes together in these books is not to focus on understanding their experiences, my understanding of them or their "disorders", but to help all those going through similar struggles in search of hope and healing to see and hear how Jesus responds to their needs and why... to know that God in Jesus Christ is trustworthy and true. While this book covers 2 years, the second book Journeys to Love covers the next 4 years. I am updating the information shared in the prefaces and prologues of both books to include new understanding of these issues learned over the next 20 years of my counseling relationships with hundreds of clients/ friends and their journeys to understand who God is and why He loves them...and why they can trust Him. However, the personal stories of these other people will be revealed in another series without any added commentary or study by me. They are autobiographical in nature in the Loved Back to Life Series being released in May 2020. Our hope with this new series is the same as with Shattered People that our readers will have more opportunities to know and trust our Heavenly Father's ongoing and unconditional love for them.
