🎧 Episode 036 – Healing | The Stronghold Podcast 

Welcome back to The Stronghold Podcast, where we explore capability and truth. I'm your host, Dave Barton, and in this powerful solo episode, we dive into the heart of what it means to pursue healing—not just for the mind, body, and soul, but for the heart. 

What started as a conversation with a friend turned into a deep exploration of identity, past wounds, and the ramifications of not doing the work. From childhood trauma and false identities like "not enough" and "not a priority," to triumphs like running a marathon, completing a 7-day dry fast, and walking in the God-given identity of King, this episode is raw, reflective, and real. 

We explore: 

  • The three-legged stool of personal growth: Mind, Body, and Soul
  • Why HEART is the missing leg in many healing journeys
  • The trap of conditional self-love
  • How success can still mask deep inner wounds
  • What it really means to walk in God’s identity for your life
  • How Forge Ferocity, Wild at Heart, and key mentors shaped this journey


This episode is a heartfelt reflection on why healing matters, how to stop living from external validation, and the journey to self-love, truth, and God’s purpose.

If you’ve ever asked yourself "Why do the deep work?", this episode is your answer.
