What if your real addiction isn’t a habit—but a soul pattern formed from rejection?
In this powerful episode, Dr. Gary Lawrence—author of Rejection Junkies—reveals how unresolved rejection becomes a hidden addiction that hijacks our emotional healing, distorts our identity, and blocks us from hearing God.
We talk about:
-
Why spiritual growth alone won’t heal soul wounds
-
The real root of bitterness—and why it spreads
-
How to reclaim your emotional voice and choice
-
What forgiveness really means when you’re still hurting
