ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
Welcome back to the continuation of the Freedom Series on the THRIVE Method, that I personally used to find freedom in my own life for forgiveness, health and my faith. Understanding that God wants us to prosper, once I understood that, he wants us to prosper and be in health. Prosperity not only means personal wealth, but also includes being wealthy in all degrees such as happiness and health. Last episode, I shared a little about my journey to freedom, beginning with step one of the Thrive Method, in resting my thoughts about my own limiting beliefs against what God says about me in His word. So today, let's talk about step 2, the Heart; getting to the heart of the matter. This step is crucial on the freedom journey to thrive in life, because it literally is the center of our human lives, the heart and spiritual activity.

SHOWNOTES:
• I had to understand the Epic center of my pain centered around my heart, that was not healed after almost 40 years, an apology is not going to heal the hurt. Only God could do that.(3:52)
• I turned it inward and suffered in silence, quietly crying myself to sleep each day. Thinking negative thoughts about how I looked and just having anger and bitterness at the little Jennifer inside of me. That's exactly when I began therapy sessions to help me get to the heart of my matter. (4:50)
• I tried my best to mask my hurt. I tried my best to mask my hurt heart with thoughts of, you're okay, you have a beautiful family, you love your job, you're not hurting for anything, you're not wanting for anything, just be happy and you're like, let it go. That's just it, although I had all those things, I was not experiencing true prosperity in my life. (5:34)
• What is that saying? Way down on the inside of that you have not addressed. I mean, it's like surgery Y'all, getting down to the heart of the matter and acknowledging that. Yeah, my heart is hard, and I really want to heal from this so I can move in freedom and do the things God's calling me to do authentically. Not hiding behind a mask, not pretending that everything is just okay. (6:49)
