Today, we are joined by Sherry from Grace Street Coaching, who helps illuminate the myriad ways trauma manifests in our lives and its impact on our mental health. Together, we share about personal journeys of overcoming betrayal in  marriage, and how to rebuild trust by rooting the path to recovery in God's truth.

We talk this week about changes in our "wardrobe" that have been a reflection of our journeys to be a peace with food, eating, and our bodies. Specifically...our jeans! But we take it a bit further during this show. We look at what our stories have to say about what we value. Then we look at the heart of mind renewal, which is the question, "God, what do you have to say about that?"

What does the Lord call us to? Is it about our jeans, our size, our stylishness? Of course not!

What thoughts do you have in your mind or "thought closet" (Thank you, Jennifer Rothschild) that don't "fit" you so well any more? What needs to go? What needs to welcomed?

We are clothed with Christ now! What does that look like?
