Raw Podcast Conversation about Faith-Based Journaling

You were not made to carry this alone. In this teaching from The Ruth Method, we explore what it means to stop hinting at your needs and start naming them — to God, to yourself, and to the people He placed in your life. Ruth did not whisper her need or package it in apology. She showed up at the threshing floor — uncertain, maybe even afraid — and named exactly what she needed. No hedging. No back-up plan. Just directness. And it changed everything for her. In this session, we walk through why vulnerability is not weakness, it is strategy. We look at how Ruth's brave ask in Ruth 3 mirrors how God invites us to come to Him in honest prayer. We talk about the difference between hinting and naming, and why healing cannot happen until you learn to say the whole thing out loud. If you have been carrying something too long because asking felt too risky — this teaching is for you. This is Week 2 of The Ruth Method series. The companion journal for this session is available for Healing Words community members. For more—connect with Healing Words—Navigating Life's Seasons.

God has designed journaling to heal.

spent 37 years hiding a photograph of myself at age 30. Every time I looked at it, I saw what the world taught me to see — a body that didn't measure up, a woman who didn't fit. I was doing body math. Calculating the distance between my reflection and society's standard. What I didn't know then was that I had internalized a voice that was never God's.Psalm 139 tells us we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Isaiah 64 reminds us we are the clay and He is the Potter. The photograph I hid wasn't the problem — my eyes were.I hope you enjoy this video.

Nobody warned me about this part of aging — not the wrinkles or the knees, but the quiet freedom that starts creeping in. At 67, I've found three freedoms I never expected: the freedom to stop explaining myself, the freedom to change my mind, and the freedom to want less. None of them came from a book. They came from living long enough.For more—connect with 67 Years. Here's What I Know.

I wrote three books specifically for that person — and I believe that person could be you.In the first 30 seconds, you'll hear a gentle but direct word: you are not alone. Then I share the moment — over 17 years ago — when a pastor spoke a prophetic word over my life that I didn't fully receive until life's hardest seasons brought me to my knees and back to the pen.
