This episode explores the question: Does hurt shape our identity? We unpack how wounds from relationships, circumstances, and life experiences can distort the way we see ourselves, others, and God. From unhealthy coping habits to deeply rooted beliefs, we discuss why true healing requires more than behavior management—it means addressing the root of the wound itself. Beneath every defense mechanism is a deeper longing, and an invitation to rediscover our identity as sons and daughters of God.
