If you've ever wondered why healing feels out of reach, no matter how hard you pray or how many books you read, this episode is for you friend. 

In today's first ever episode of Hope In The Fire, we're talking about why acknowledgment is the first, brave step toward healing from childhood trauma. 

 

You'll discover:

-Why minimizing your past keeps you stuck

-How to begin telling the truth about your story with God's help

-Biblical encouragement that reminds you: You are not alone

-A simple journal prompt to help you take your first step today

 

Your past may have shaped you, but it does not define you. God is ready to meet you in the truth and walk you into freedom. Let's begin this journey together. 

I hope this episode blessed you!

-John 8:32

-Psalm 34:18
