Welcome back to the 61:1 Podcast. This episode is going to be foundational for everything we'll talk about moving forward.

In Episode 1, I shared that the heart behind this podcast was to create a safe, biblical, Spirit-led space to talk about healing, freedom, and restoration through Jesus. Today, I begin laying the groundwork by answering an important question:

What is Inner Healing?

If inner healing is unfamiliar, uncomfortable, or if you have been curious to learn more about this topic, then this is the right place for you. In this episode, I bring clarity, truth, and peace to this topic by firmly grounding it to Scripture and revealing God's heart for healing.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

• What inner healing is and what it is not
• Why inner healing is biblical and part of the fullness of the Gospel
• The difference between the salvation of the spirit and healing of the soul
• Why believers can love Jesus but still struggle with pain, wounds, and unhealthy patterns
• How Scripture reveals Jesus' heart to heal the brokenhearted

Key Scriptures Mentioned:

• Luke 4:18 - Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted
• Proverbs 4:23 - Guard your heart, for everything flows from it
• Luke 6:45 - Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks
• 1 Thessalonians 5:23 - We are spirit, soul, and body
• The Greek word "sozo" - saved, healed, delivered, made whole

Key Takeaways:

• Inner healing is not self-help or psychology apart from Jesus
• Inner healing is not about reliving pain or trauma
• Inner healing is Spirit-led, Christ-centered, and rooted in Scripture
• Salvation is instant, but healing is often a process
• Healing the heart is not optional. It is essential for freedom and maturity
• Inner healing is inviting Jesus into your story and allowing His truth to redefine it

Reflection Questions:

• Are there areas of your heart that still feel tender or guarded?
• Are there patterns you've tried to break but haven't gotten free from?

Saying "yes" to healing doesn't mean there is something wrong with you. It may simply be an invitation from God to go deeper and allow Him to bring restoration to your life.

What's next:

In the next episode, we'll talk about why inner healing is important for every believer and why pursuing healing is not weakness but actually spiritual maturity.
