Have you ever mistaken a good day for deep healing? That fleeting moment when everything seems better might just be a beautiful bloom—but what about the roots beneath?
This week on Courageous Overcomers, we're digging deeper than last week's conversation about blooming where you're planted. We're examining what truly anchors us during life's storms by exploring the difference between momentary progress and lasting transformation. Drawing from Jeremiah 17:8, we discover that resilience isn't about never being shaken—it's about never being uprooted.
Together, we examine what constitutes strong roots versus shallow ones. Daily Scripture, honest relationships, and genuine self-reflection nourish our spiritual soil, while shame-based silence, numbing behaviors, and emotional avoidance slowly poison it. I share personal examples from my own journey, including parenting missteps and ongoing struggles with emotional eating, to show that healing isn't about perfection but honest growth.
The most beautiful revelation? You're not actually the gardener in this story—you're being tended to by a God who doesn't rush your growth, doesn't discard what looks messy, and doesn't demand overnight transformation. He's pruning what no longer serves you, cutting back mindsets rooted in performance, bitterness disguised as boundaries, and people-pleasing that once felt holy but now feels heavy.

Tonya Shellnutt (00:09):
Welcome to Courageous Overcomers.
I'm your host, Tonya Shellnutt.
Thank you for being with usthis week.
Last week we had a greatconversation about gardening and
the importance of bloomingwhere planted.
I shared the story about ourfamily tradition of Mother's Day
growing our little garden, andI can't wait until after this
(00:29):
series is over I'm going to sendyou all some pictures post
pictures of my garden the good,the bad and the ugly, hoping
none of them die, but it'spossible they could.
So this week we're going totalk about rooting and being
rooted and rising.
Our theme verse this week isJeremiah 17 8, and it says this
(00:49):
they will be like a tree plantedby the water its leaves are
always green.
So I want to make sure that wedon't mistake the bloom for the
root because, as I said, wetalked about blooming last week
and our bloom boards.
I hope some of you made thebloom boards blooming last week
and our bloom boards.
I hope some of you made thebloom boards.
If you didn't hear that episode,go back and listen to it.
But you named your pain, youclaimed your hope and now it's
(01:12):
time to talk about andstrengthen what's holding you,
because the deal is is that ifyour root system isn't strong,
the bloom doesn't last, andthat's important because of the
storms of life, the storms thatcome at us all, the rain that we
can get, and we know that inthe garden, roots come first,
(01:32):
even if we don't see them.
But in healing, we often feelthe bloom before we dealt with
what's beneath the surface, andso don't mistake a good week or
a clear mind, a moment of peace,for deep healing.
I'm not excusing the progressthat you're making, but momentum
(01:54):
is not the same as maturity,and so we're going to talk about
resilience.
That lasts and it starts withgetting rooted in truth.
That lasts and it starts withgetting rooted in truth, not
emotion.
Now, something that happened tome with in parenting my children
and I want to make sure that Iclarify this with everybody
(02:15):
because they're used to I had amentor say to me feelings aren't
facts, and I used to use thatin my parenting and I want to
tell you that was a mistake.
Don't do that, because truefeelings aren't facts.
What I was lacking wasaffirming the the child, and I
(02:41):
know this sounds so cold.
I didn't do this all the time,but I'm just being real with you
guys.
Okay, but you have to affirmwhere a person is at Before you
can say feelings aren't facts.
You just can't do that.
So I want you to hear what I'msaying.
Is that not saying don't haveemotion, but don't let the
emotion be what causes you tomake your decisions?
(03:04):
You've got to be rooted intruth.
There's a balance, and so thequestion is what are you rooted
in?
What's nourishing your soul andwhat's slowly poisoning it?
So an example of some strongroots would be daily time in the
word.
Relationships where you tell thetruth to each other, and I'm
not saying in a hurtful way, butin a way that says you know how
(03:29):
you just spoke to your husbandor your children was, was kind
of harsh.
You might want to take a lookat that.
Strong roots are having honestreflection and not emotional
avoidance.
That that is hard because youknow I've shared so many times
on here about how, growing up,we just shoved everything under
(03:52):
the rug and we didn't talk aboutit, because if you didn't talk
about it, it wasn't there.
That is not an example of astrong root.
Forgiveness over bitternessthat's a tough one.
It is easier to be bitterbecause there's a false sense of
power and justification inbitterness, and we're going to
(04:12):
do a whole episode on that oneday, but it's not today.
Surrender versus notself-sufficiency.
And then some examples of brokenroots would be shame-based
silence, self-protection thatisolates it's easy to go hide
(04:33):
instead of have to deal withdifficult people.
Now there is a time and a placewhere you've got to take a step
back, but if you find yourselfalways going into the other room
or avoiding conflict, that isan example of a shallow or
broken root Numbing habits.
You know master's balance.
I only had five cookies todayand two pieces of the blueberry
(04:57):
lemon pound cake, which thatreally did.
I didn't really have fivepieces, five cookies, but I did
have two pieces of the lemonblueberry pancake that my
daughter made.
It was really good.
I digress, I'm working on it,I'm a work in progress, that's
what I am.
So I have some shallow roots onthe eating front, but anyway,
distraction that mimics peace.
(05:18):
Those are some examples ofshallow or broken roots.
So today I want to introduce youto an exciting resource that I
have put together for you, andit is the five day cleanse and
heal workbook, and it's a simple, powerful tool that helps walk
(05:40):
you through the process ofemotional healing and spiritual
anchoring, and this is what isincluded in it, and it's a five
day challenge.
So there's a healing focus whatwound are you dressing?
What issue that you'restruggling with?
A simple action step, somethingtangible, to begin shifting
(06:02):
these patterns, or thoughtpatterns.
I think you know reframing issomething that you hear a lot
about and that's part of whatthis is.
And then a forgiveness practice, because release is where
freedom begins, whether you'reforgiving yourself or whether
you're forgiving somebody.
And then a scripture forreflection, because we've got to
(06:23):
let God speak truth into yourhealing.
It's not an overwhelmingprocess, it's just honest and
it's for anyone who's feelingstuck, you know, because I want
you to know you're not toobroken, you're not too far gone
and you don't have to do thisalone.
So if you go to my website,tanyashellnutcom, and remember
(06:44):
that's two T's and two L's andyou enter your email, I'll send
it to you and we will downloadthe workbook and it will help
you with your five day challengethat can help you change your
foundation.
So that's a really importanttool.
I hope you can get it.
Feel free to share it.
It's free, it costs nothing,but it's something that can
(07:07):
begin to help you begin todiscover what, what are you
rooted in, what are your goodroots and what are your bad
roots?
And then the next thing is.
The next point I want to make inthis is that resilience isn't
reaction, it's rootedness.
Reaction is emotional andresilience is spiritual.
(07:27):
When the pressure hits, whatyou've planted will show.
So resilience doesn't meanbeing unshaken, it just means
you are not being uprooted.
Isn't that so good?
Let me say that again, becausethat's a good one.
Resilience doesn't mean beingunshaken, it means not being
(07:47):
uprooted.
So this is where selfprotection breaks down when we
build our defense mechanisminstead of our support systems.
So when people go through longseasons of pain, betrayal
survival, when people go throughlong seasons of pain, betrayal
survival, they respond byhardening their hearts, and we
talk about this in some of theearlier episodes, about building
those bricks, put up the walls,they shut people out.
(08:09):
They act tough or emotionallydetached.
You'll hear them say like oh, Idon't really care.
Well, that drives me nuts whenpeople say that, because I
actually know you do care, butyou just don't want to.
It's easier for you to avoid itinstead of naming the hurt.
You can choose.
You choose independence overintimacy.
(08:31):
Oh, I can just do it.
I'll just do it myself, right?
I do that a lot, hidingvulnerability out of fear of
being hurt again Again.
That hardness is a form of selfprotection.
It doesn't actually equalstrength and it keeps healing
out and you don't need to behard.
(08:51):
You need to take root and youneed to be tended to and I love
this.
This is so great.
God is the gardener.
I hope you guys are beginningto see a theme for the month of
May.
God is the gardener.
He doesn't rush your growth.
He doesn't discard what looksmessy.
So you'll see, sometimes youknow flowers that you think are
(09:14):
dead, like hydringes.
I have some hydringes andthey'll look dead during the day
and then I'll put water on themand in the morning they look
great.
So God doesn't discard whatlooks messy.
If you looked at it during theday you'd think like that's dead
, but it's not.
He doesn't demand that youbloom overnight.
He gently digs and clears andplants and waters and weights
(09:37):
and waters and weights.
And when you've gone through,you know the pain of addiction
and trauma.
It's easy to believe thathealing depends on how hard you
work or how much you get right.
But the truth is you'reactually not the gardener in the
story.
You're the soil, you're thebranch, you're the one being
(10:04):
tended to by God, faithfulgardener.
He doesn't want you just strong, he wants you anchored in him,
and I love this, this verse.
You need to write this downJohn 15, 1 through 2 I am the
true vine and my father is thegardener.
He cuts off every branch in methat bears no fruit, while every
branch that does bear fruit heprunes so that it will be even
(10:26):
more fruitful.
So that leads us into the nextpoint, and that is evaluating
your root systems and lettingGod prune what no longer serves
you.
So once things start to grow,it's tempting to focus on what's
visible, the progress, thefruit, the bloom.
So, like, my husband has thisfig tree and he I don't know
(10:51):
anything about pruning from anactual physical standpoint.
I know a lot about it from aspiritual standpoint but he cuts
it back and I and they're likeyou know, in the fall he does
this and there's these big greenyou know flower or leaves on it
and I'm like, what are youdoing?
Why are you doing that?
And what it does is it helpsproduce more fruit.
(11:13):
And so if we're going to buildresilience, we have to go deeper
and we have to evaluate what'sfeeding our growth and what's
slowly choking it.
And this is where we invite God, the master gardener, to do
what only he can do, and that'sprune, because, again, every
branch that does bear fruit, heprunes, so that will be even
(11:35):
more fruitful.
So what is that?
What do we have to do?
We need to self-evaluate andsurrender.
So here's how we partner withthe Lord in this gardening
process We've got to get honestabout what's still rooted in
fear and shame, and we've got tolet him cut it back.
So ask yourself, what's stillfeeding me?
(11:56):
That isn't from God.
I'll give an example to this.
I think for me I right or wrongwhich we all know it's wrong is
that negative self talk likeyou're not good enough, you're
not doing enough, and then thatforces me to work harder.
Well, that isn't from God, andyou can only work so hard before
you burn out.
(12:17):
So where have I confusedsurvival with strength?
That's a good one too.
What good things might God bepruning for greater fruit later?
Yeah, absolutely, you know.
We just have to be obedienttoday.
We just have to, you know, cutthe things off.
I'm just trying to use the figtree example.
(12:38):
You know what branch on the figtree do we not need?
We need to cut it off.
The same is true to us.
What is it that we have that weneed to cut out?
And if we don't evaluate ourroot system and take control,
you know we're not going to bestrengthened and we have to
evaluate it so that God can tendto the soil, and if it's not
(13:01):
helping me grow, then we have tocut it back.
So what can we?
Let God prune Our mindsets thatare rooted in performance.
I don't know about y'all, but ifyou guys don't ever get
anything from this, I obviouslyyou can hear the theme here.
I'm getting something out of itbitterness.
I just I'll be honest, I justshare with you guys and I just
(13:24):
feel like I have to be authenticwith you, because what is the
purpose of somebody getting on apodcast and telling you to do
all of these things, but they'venever done it themselves?
What is the purpose of that?
It's I that I don't want to bethat person.
I want to be the person thatwalks with you and beside you,
so that you know that you can doit, you can overcome.
(13:45):
So back to what God prunesBitterness that disguises
boundaries, old roles orresponsibilities that are no
longer ours to carry.
People pleasing.
That once felt holy, but it'sjust heavy.
Pruning is how God protects thefruit, it's how he prevents
(14:05):
burnout, just like I was saying,and it's how he prepares us for
what's next.
So, as we get ready to closethis podcast out, you're not
just blooming anymore.
You're becoming unshakable, notbecause the storm stopped, but
because you're anchored in theone who never moves.
(14:26):
This is the deeper work andit's the holy ground Again
Jeremiah 17, 8.
They are like trees planted bystreams of water.
They do not fear when heatcomes.
Their leaves are always green.
So I want to encourage you tocontinue to become rooted and
(14:47):
not just blooming, but rootedand so I want you to go get your
free copy of that five-daycleanse and heal challenge.
Again, it focuses on healing.
It gives you action items andit gives you scripture to help
root you deeper in the truth ofwho God says.
You are Not what the world says.
You are not what your limitingbeliefs say.
(15:08):
You are not what your past says.
You are not what your traumasays you are.
It's who God says you are, andif we don't reframe the
narrative, if you don't rewritethe messages that you're telling
yourself.
It is like I shared.
I mean, you can't withstand thestorm because your roots aren't
deep, so go to tonyashellnut.
(15:30):

someone who would need to hearit.

So this week we're going totalk about rooting and being

Our theme verse this week isJeremiah 17 8, and it says this
(00:49):
they will be like a tree plantedby the water its leaves are

So I want to make sure that wedon't mistake the bloom for the

I hope some of you made thebloom boards blooming last week

I hope some of you made thebloom boards.
If you didn't hear that episode,go back and listen to it.
But you named your pain, youclaimed your hope and now it's
(01:12):
time to talk about andstrengthen what's holding you,
because the deal is is that ifyour root system isn't strong,
the bloom doesn't last, andthat's important because of the
storms of life, the storms thatcome at us all, the rain that we
can get, and we know that inthe garden, roots come first,
(01:32):
even if we don't see them.
But in healing, we often feelthe bloom before we dealt with

I'm not excusing the progressthat you're making, but momentum
(01:54):

resilience.
That lasts and it starts withgetting rooted in truth.
That lasts and it starts withgetting rooted in truth, not
emotion.
Now, something that happened tome with in parenting my children
and I want to make sure that Iclarify this with everybody
(02:15):
because they're used to I had amentor say to me feelings aren't
facts, and I used to use thatin my parenting and I want to
tell you that was a mistake.
Don't do that, because truefeelings aren't facts.
What I was lacking wasaffirming the the child, and I
(02:41):

guys.
Okay, but you have to affirmwhere a person is at Before you

You just can't do that.
So I want you to hear what I'msaying.
Is that not saying don't haveemotion, but don't let the

(03:04):
You've got to be rooted intruth.
There's a balance, and so thequestion is what are you rooted
in?
What's nourishing your soul andwhat's slowly poisoning it?
So an example of some strongroots would be daily time in the
word.
Relationships where you tell thetruth to each other, and I'm
not saying in a hurtful way, butin a way that says you know how
(03:29):
you just spoke to your husbandor your children was, was kind
of harsh.
You might want to take a lookat that.
Strong roots are having honestreflection and not emotional
avoidance.
That that is hard because youknow I've shared so many times

Forgiveness over bitternessthat's a tough one.
It is easier to be bitterbecause there's a false sense of
power and justification inbitterness, and we're going to
(04:12):
do a whole episode on that oneday, but it's not today.
Surrender versus notself-sufficiency.
And then some examples of brokenroots would be shame-based
silence, self-protection thatisolates it's easy to go hide
(04:33):
instead of have to deal withdifficult people.
Now there is a time and a placewhere you've got to take a step
back, but if you find yourselfalways going into the other room
or avoiding conflict, that isan example of a shallow or
broken root Numbing habits.
You know master's balance.
I only had five cookies todayand two pieces of the blueberry
(04:57):
lemon pound cake, which thatreally did.
I didn't really have fivepieces, five cookies, but I did
have two pieces of the lemonblueberry pancake that my
daughter made.
It was really good.
I digress, I'm working on it,I'm a work in progress, that's
what I am.
So I have some shallow roots onthe eating front, but anyway,
distraction that mimics peace.

A simple action step, somethingtangible, to begin shifting

(11:56):
That isn't from God.
I'll give an example to this.
I think for me I right or wrongwhich we all know it's wrong is
that negative self talk likeyou're not good enough, you're
not doing enough, and then thatforces me to work harder.
Well, that isn't from God, andyou can only work so hard before
you burn out.
(12:17):
So where have I confusedsurvival with strength?
That's a good one too.
What good things might God bepruning for greater fruit later?
Yeah, absolutely, you know.
We just have to be obedienttoday.
We just have to, you know, cutthe things off.
I'm just trying to use the figtree example.
(12:38):
You know what branch on the figtree do we not need?
We need to cut it off.
The same is true to us.
What is it that we have that weneed to cut out?
And if we don't evaluate ourroot system and take control,
you know we're not going to bestrengthened and we have to
evaluate it so that God can tendto the soil, and if it's not
(13:01):
helping me grow, then we have tocut it back.
So what can we?
Let God prune Our mindsets thatare rooted in performance.
I don't know about y'all, but ifyou guys don't ever get
anything from this, I obviouslyyou can hear the theme here.
I'm getting something out of itbitterness.
I just I'll be honest, I justshare with you guys and I just
(13:24):
feel like I have to be authenticwith you, because what is the
purpose of somebody getting on apodcast and telling you to do
all of these things, but they'venever done it themselves?
What is the purpose of that?
It's I that I don't want to bethat person.
I want to be the person thatwalks with you and beside you,
so that you know that you can doit, you can overcome.
(13:45):
So back to what God prunesBitterness that disguises
boundaries, old roles orresponsibilities that are no
longer ours to carry.
People pleasing.
That once felt holy, but it'sjust heavy.
Pruning is how God protects thefruit, it's how he prevents
(14:05):
burnout, just like I was saying,and it's how he prepares us for
what's next.
So, as we get ready to closethis podcast out, you're not
just blooming anymore.
You're becoming unshakable, notbecause the storm stopped, but
because you're anchored in theone who never moves.
(14:26):
This is the deeper work andit's the holy ground Again
Jeremiah 17, 8.
They are like trees planted bystreams of water.
They do not fear when heatcomes.
Their leaves are always green.
So I want to encourage you tocontinue to become rooted and
(14:47):
not just blooming, but rootedand so I want you to go get your
free copy of that five-daycleanse and heal challenge.
Again, it focuses on healing.
It gives you action items andit gives you scripture to help
root you deeper in the truth ofwho God says.
You are Not what the world says.
You are not what your limitingbeliefs say.
(15:08):
You are not what your past says.
You are not what your traumasays you are.
It's who God says you are, andif we don't reframe the
narrative, if you don't rewritethe messages that you're telling
yourself.
It is like I shared.
I mean, you can't withstand thestorm because your roots aren't
deep, so go to tonyashellnut.
