continued; Why Dean & Susie are here

Over the next 3 years they would date, live together, break up for almost a year until God convicted Dean to do it right and marry Susan.  In  July of 1982 they were married.  By August of 1983 their first child was born, followed by their second in 1985 and number three in 1990. 

Although they had truly committed their lives to Jesus, they had a lot of baggage they were carrying. They're marriage was rough at first.  Susan was afraid yet forceful because that was what it took to survive in a family of 8.  Dean was used to being alone and getting his way.  So the two had a hard time relating.  Dean was abusive at times, both verbally and physically.  Both were not very strong in God's Word, relationships and how it all worked practically.  So they struggled in their marriage.

They loved each other deeply, both were committed to the marriage and would never use the "D" word. (divorce) Yet they desperately needed help in knowing how to love each other. This began the gift God would use for years to come. 

They began seeking counsel at one of their pastor's advise.  They went to the "Christian Counselor", the "$80 an hour psychologist" and others.  Each taught them some tools and some communication skills.  But none of these dealt with the real issues.  By God's design and in His timing their new pastor began learning Biblical Counseling through the Biblical Counseling Foundation.  Dean began sessions with this pastor, serious about improving things at home.  In 8 short weeks Dean had learned more than in all the other counseling sessions combined.  He wanted to really take responsibility and get right with God.  As Dean drew closer to the Lord, Susan saw a difference.  Hope became a reality again.  She began to seek the Lord also.  Soon things began to line up with God's design. 

This began what God had designed from the beginning.  Dean and Susan went on to study more and more in Biblical Counseling and other successful methods.  God used them more and more to help others in the body.  They taught the Biblical Counseling method, combined with other information several times at Calvary Chapel of the Pass under Pastor Chris' leadership.  For years Dean and Susan counseled for Calvary Chapel of the Pass in Banning, Ca.  Because Love Never Fails...

 

Why Dean & Susie are here...

Susan and I (Dean) both come from non Christian backgrounds.  I was raised by good parents that didn't drink much, worked hard, stayed married and gave a lot.  I am grateful for my parents and I miss them a lot.  They were a little older when I was born and although they loved me very much,  they didn't put a lot of time into me.  At least that's what it seems to me.  Perhaps that's one of the reasons I strayed when I was younger. I began drinking, partying when I was in my teens. Smoking to be cool and doing drugs as the party life grew.  I continued this until the age of 22 when it all came crashing down.  It is then a Christian sat with me in my parents front yard and told me about Jesus.  I didn't accept it all then but it stuck with me.  As  my party life led to heart ache and mental depression, I asked the Lord to help me.  He did... I began reading the Bible immediately and read the New Testament completely through.  It really spoke to me.  I continued reading and studying sporadically for a few years until Susan and I attended a Calvary Chapel service.  We had been invited by a couple, friends we had known for years that had recently given their lives to Jesus.  It was at that Sunday morning service Susan gave her life to Jesus and I got serious. 

Susan is from a divorced family. As many of you know it can be devastating to young children when their parents divorce.  With a mom that was trying desperately to survive and a father hundreds of miles away, Susan began to party at the young age of 9.  Her mother remarried to a wonderful man named Fred.     Through a hard chance of fate, Fred's ex-wife dropped off their 3 kids for the day and never came back.  So with Susan and her 2 siblings and Fred's 3 youngsters there was now 6 mouths to feed plus mom and Dad.  The stress in managing all these relationships drove Susan to party more, become promiscuous at a young age and eventually she felt so alone... she attempted suicide.

At the young age of 15 Susan met Dean, who was then 23.  Although Dean had a relationship with Jesus, that relationship was not yet strong. And Susan was not yet a Christian. Both Susan and Dean were sick of the party lifestyle but still very young. 

continued on the right...
