224. Restoring Your Original Design with Dr. Shannan Crawford


Listen Later

In this powerful conversation, Heidi sits down with Dr. Crawford to explore how faith and psychology work together to heal the spirit, soul, and body. Crawford shares her journey from acting to becoming a psychologist after overcoming depression, self-harm, and eating disorders—and how the Holy Spirit led her into true transformation.

Together, they unpack the difference between the false self and the God-designed self, how trauma fractures identity, and practical tools like internal board meetings, imagination, and somatic breathing to restore wholeness. This episode blends clinical wisdom, biblical truth, and spiritual insight to help listeners return to their original design.

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." ~ 2 Corinthians 5:17
