If your child was starving and asked you for bread, would you make her eat from a dumpster? 

If your child was dying of thirst and asked for water, would you pour sand down his throat?

Are you that child? Starving for safety. And love. And honesty. And help. And tenderness. And dying a little more each day in their absence and their opposites. 

So why doesn't God treat you like a daughter? Why does he give food and drink and good husbands and happy families to some but to you...only pain?

If these questions keep you up at night, this episode is for you. 

I answer listener questions about:

• The SURPRISING thing your abusive marriage tells you about God
• The people I DON'T HELP, and what I do instead
• Why TRIGGERS are often less about past trauma and more about CORE BELIEFS

How asking questions about fears (like the fear that your husband and family are spying on your social media posts) is a simple way to BREAK THROUGH them
