Tabitha's biological father left when she was young. His leaving shaped her, but it doesn't get to shape the whole story. The rest of the story speaks to healing with Jesus, redemptive love, and finding victory over past brokenness.

The truth of the matter is, how you were raised affects you.
It shapes the way you see relationships, yourself, and the world. It affects how you manage conflict, what kinds of relationships you gravitate towards or reject, how you make decisions, your self-worth and self-image, even your approach to faith. So, in this episode I'll share a list of personal reflection questions for you to think about how your family shaped you, offer an invitation for a way to share your story, and give you a prayer to accompany this brave and deep work of looking back.
A LIST: 5 categories of questions for personal reflection:
AN INVITATION to share your own story (13:43)
A PRAYER of encouragement for you in your healing (15:56)

If you feel powerless over your people pleasing, it might actually be a good thing...You might actually be on the brink of change.
In this episode of Take These Ashes, host Heather Lobe Johnson talks about her own journey with codependency (people pleasing), and how her encounter with the 12-step philosophy of recovery actually moved her towards sanity and positive change.
We cover in this episode:
Mentioned in this episode:
Until we begin to fully grasp God's love for us, we will keep chasing after other loves that break our hearts or never fully satisfy our deepest longings.
In this episode of Take These Ashes, host Heather Lobe Johnson answers listener questions about why we find attention and affection from the opposite gender alluring (and equate it with our value), and whether pornography is okay. The problem in both cases gets to a deeper question of the case of our hearts-- as philosopher Blaise Pascal says, "There is a God-shaped vacuum in the heart of each man which cannot be satisfied by any created thing but only by God the Creator, made known through Jesus Christ."
Heather discusses her heart, our collective hearts as humans, and God's heart for us through illustrations in Scripture (the woman at the well in John 4 and the prodigal son in Luke 15).

When our stories are woven with threads of sexual brokenness, it’s hard to untangle that from the other pieces of ourselves and our stories because it touches us at a soul level. We are fully integrated human beings, and our approach to healing must also be fully integrated. Body, mind, and spirit.
In this episode, we discuss:

"When we’re in the pit of shame, when we’re in that darkness, we may not believe there’s a way to get to healing. And sometimes it takes people who love us well to fight for us, carry us, take us to the Healer."
