Returning Back to God in Healing ("The Return" Series Introduction)
Hey Healing Bestie,
Welcome to a brand-new series here on the Trauma to Testimony podcast—The Return. If you’ve ever found yourself feeling distant from God—even when you still believe in Him—this episode is for you. If the weight of trauma, shame, or survival mode has made you question your closeness with God, I want you to know: you are not alone, and you’re not too far gone.
In this heart-to-heart, I’m sharing what the Holy Spirit has been showing me about healing disconnection and entering into divine renewal. Because here’s the truth—God has always wanted healing for His people. And just like the prodigal son, He meets us with compassion and open arms when we return.
We’re kicking off this new series with real talk, biblical encouragement, and the reminder that healing is holy—and God is not intimidated by your process. He’s in it with you.
In this episode, we talk about:
How trauma and emotional disconnection can make you feel far from God
Why the “processing” season is sacred, not punishment
What it really looks like to return to God in raw, honest ways
Luke 15 and the power of the prodigal son’s return
How God is always working for your healing—even when it doesn’t feel like it
