This episode may feel tender. If June stirred up old grief or silence for you because of a complicated or painful relationship with your father, this space is for you.
In today’s solo reflection, I share a deeply personal part of my story — the impact of growing up with a father who wasn’t emotionally or physically safe, and how that experience shaped my relationship with trust, with love, and with God.
We’ll walk through:
-
What it means to rebuild trust with God
-
Why spiritual re-parenting matters
-
The truth that your value is not determined by someone else’s brokenness
You’ll also hear scripture reflections, a powerful journal prompt, and a reminder:
You didn’t deserve the pain — but you do deserve the healing.
📖 Referenced Verses:
-
Psalm 27:10
-
Isaiah 64:8 (if you included it)
-
Zephaniah 3:17
-
Optional: Hebrews 12:10 (if mentioned or referenced)
🖊️ Journal Prompt:
Where in my life have I confused God’s character with the failures of a parent or caregiver? What truth do I need to replace that with?
