🎧 Episode Summary

Welcome back to Inside the House of Belonging! Today's episode is a powerful deep dive into what it really means to own your story — not through shame, fear, or self-protection, but through the lens of redemption and truth.

We start with a Heart to Heart listener question:

"How do I know when God is speaking versus when it's just my own thoughts?"

Sarah Joy brings biblical clarity and practical guidance for navigating decision-making with confidence, peace, and faith.

Then we unpack:

✨ Why owning your story matters for emotional and spiritual formation

✨ How to identify the lens you've been using to interpret past experiences

✨ The power of reframing your story with God's perspective

✨ Luke 7 and why the woman's awareness of her need produced such deep love

✨ How victim mentality and shame keep us small and stuck

✨ Why your testimony holds power when seen through redemption

✨ Practical, gentle reflection questions for your mind, body, and spirit

If you're tired of carrying old interpretations of your life… if you know God is inviting you into freedom… if you're ready to walk in your redeemed identity — this episode will meet you right where you are.
