Far too often we put a timeline on a person's relationship with God. You must pass go, you must collect your cross to proceed down gumdrop lane to salvation. That just isn't how faith works. There is a process to healing from past hurts, assumptions and trauma and you can't skip steps to make the healing happen faster. Join Melissa and Amanda in this episode as they discuss Going Through The Process!

How can we re-record those things and focus on the truth of who God says that we are?
