In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Dr. Ben Edwards is joined by global speaker and author Leif Hetland to explore one of the most transformative revelations of the human experience: the shift from living as an orphan to walking in true sonship with the Father. Leif shares his riveting journey from trauma, addiction, and religious striving to a profound encounter with God’s unconditional love that redefined his identity and mission.
Together, they unpack the impact of heart beliefs on physical and emotional health, the difference between doing for love versus living from love, and the subtle but dangerous grip of the orphan mindset—even among believers. Whether you’re wrestling with performance, burnout, or a desire to understand God as a loving Father, this conversation offers clarity, healing, and hope.
You’ll hear about:
The roots of the orphan spirit and how it fuels fear, shame, and striving
The importance of identity, intimacy, and inheritance in the Kingdom
How emotional healing leads to physical healing
Practical insights for living from rest, not pressure
Why all of creation is waiting for the revealing of mature sons and daughters
Leif’s story will challenge and inspire you to move from religion into relationship, and from striving into rest. This is more than a conversation—it's an invitation to come home.
