Episode 070: In this episode, we take a practical look at how healing actually works. Instead of expecting a single breakthrough or a moment that fixes everything, we talk about how healing usually unfolds in stages over time. We explore why a familiar struggle might show up again in a new area of life and why that doesn’t mean we’re going backward—it often means we’re seeing a deeper layer that’s ready to be addressed. We discuss how God leads us through healing at a pace that’s safe and manageable, even when it feels slower than we’d like, and how learning to trust that pace can bring more peace and stability to the process. We also introduce The Inner Healing Toolkit, a free 4-episode secret podcast designed to walk us through the basic order of an inner healing journey in a simple and grounded way.

Key Takeaways

• Healing is a step-by-step process, not a single moment.

• Old struggles can repeat in new situations because a new angle is being revealed.

• God often heals us at a steady, manageable pace, not all at once.

• The healing journey is lifelong; we grow layer by layer, like peeling an onion.

• Trusting God’s timing helps us stop forcing the process and start cooperating with it.

• The Inner Healing Toolkit offers a simple, structured walk-through of the core stages of healing.

Episode 069: In today's episode, we’re exploring why peace, love, or joy can sometimes feel unsafe — and why we subconsciously resist what’s good for us. We'll unpack how our nervous system tries to hold on to the familiar, even when it’s painful, and how we can gently expands our capacity to allow good things in.

Key Takeaways:

• Sometimes peace, joy, or love can feel unsafe when your nervous system is more familiar with stress or striving.

• The body naturally seeks what’s familiar, not what’s optimal — even if the familiar keeps you stuck.

• Self-sabotage often isn’t rebellion; it’s your body’s way of trying to stay safe in what it knows.

• Healing means gently expanding your capacity to feel safe in goodness — not rushing your peace.

• God patiently teaches us to rest in His abundance, helping us trust joy, love, and peace as holy ground.
