Ep 55, Chewing the Gristle; Are Your Thoughts and Words Blocking Your Healing?

Listen Later

Episode Summary:

In this episode of Rise and Reclaim After Divorce, Dana explores the deep healing that comes when we stop speaking from our pain and start aligning our thoughts and words with God’s truth. Using Genesis 1 as a foundation, she compares God’s creative process to our emotional healing—highlighting how the Holy Spirit “hovers” over our pain and speaks light into darkness.

Dana also introduces the science of neuroplasticity, illustrating how our thoughts shape our brains and how healing begins with intentional shifts in mindset and speech. If you've found yourself stuck chewing on the gristle of bitterness, unforgiveness, and grief, this episode will give you spiritual and practical tools to begin rebuilding.

Key Scriptures:

  • Genesis 1:1-3 – “Let there be light.”
  • Proverbs 18:21 – Life and death are in the power of the tongue.
  • Isaiah 58:12 – You shall be called the Repairer of the Breach.
  • 2 Corinthians 2:10–11 – Forgive, so the enemy has no advantage.

    • The Pioneer Anointing by Barbara Yoder – https://a.co/d/6U741Vl
    • Dana’s upcoming book: Healing After Divorce – 35 Prayers Rooted in God’s Word for Divorced Christians, Coming this summer!

      • Takeaways:

      • Healing is a process, not an instant miracle.
      • Time Under Tension (TUT) in fitness mirrors spiritual transformation.
      • The Holy Spirit hovers over our darkness, waiting for our partnership.
      • Repeating pain-filled words can stall healing—rewire your brain with God’s Word.
      • Your thought life directly impacts your healing journey.

        • Call to Action:

        Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal where you’re stuck in negative thought loops. Then, choose to speak life and let Him partner with you to rebuild what was broken.
