What if the wounds you've carried since childhood are not the end of your story, but the very place where God begins to write something new? Pastor Derwin and Carly open this conversation with raw honesty about mental illness, trauma, and the lies that take root in our minds when pain goes unaddressed. Carly shares her journey through depression, PTSD, self-harm, and a nine-month stay at Mercy—a faith-based residential home—where a counselor gently helped her identify the lies she believed about herself and replace them with Scripture-grounded truth. Pastor Derwin weaves in the science of neuroplasticity alongside Romans 12:2 "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect" showing that healing is not a microwave moment but a crock-pot process of daily, faithful confession. Together, they remind us that knowing theology is not the same as letting it reach our souls. Your scars are not your shame—they are your testimony. Pre-order *It's Time to Heal* today and take your first step toward restoration.
