8. How Childhood Wounds Are Hurting Your Christian Parenting (And How to Heal With God’s Help)

Have you ever felt triggered, ashamed, or disconnected while parenting? You’re not alone. In this honest episode, we’re diving into the parenting patterns we don’t always talk about—the ones shaped by our childhood wounds. I will share my personal story of parenting through unhealed trauma, from anger that echoed in my own upbringing to the quiet belief that I needed to keep people at a distance. But through Scripture and the healing power of the Holy Spirit, I learned a better way—and want the same for you.

Listen and let this be a guide through healing from anger and abandonment, on how to spot when childhood pain is parenting your child instead of you, and how to trade striving for surrender so your parenting can flow from Christ—not your past.

This one’s for the mom, dad, or grandparent who wants to break generational cycles and raise kids rooted in faith, freedom, and God’s love.

Take Action This Week

✅ Step 1: Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal one past wound still shaping how you parent.

✅ Step 2: Journal what He shows you and find a Scripture to speak into that place.

 ✅ Step 3: Practice repentance or forgiveness as He leads.

🌱And remember: the work you do now is planting seeds of unshakable faith in your children.

You don’t need to be perfect—you just need to be present with God.

And if this blessed you, I’d be so grateful if you’d leave a review or share this episode with a friend. 

Blessings,  ✨Tricia
