XO, B RESOURCES/LINKS Guest Dr. Anita Phillips Book: The Garden Within: Where the War with Your Emotions Ends and Your Most Powerful Life Begins In The Light with Dr Anita Phillips // The Betrayal Podcast Episode Quote The absence of humility is destroying us and it's necessary. Humility is the healing balm that is missing. Takeaways Experiencing rejection activates the same part of the brain as physical pain, highlighting the emotional toll of exclusion. Creating psychological safety and a sense of belonging is crucial for individuals to take risks and reach out to others. The church must address issues of race and create a safe space for healing and reconciliation. Curiosity about different perspectives and cultures can lead to a deeper understanding of God and a more inclusive church. Humility, empathy, and intentional action are necessary to heal and transform the church. ⋇ Watch on YouTube ⋇ Convoy of Hope - Empowering Women and Girls Together Donate here ⋇ Bianca’s new book Grit Don't Quit: Developing Resilience And Faith When Giving Up Isn't An Option ⋇ The Grit Don’t Quit Bible Study is now available. ⋇ So grateful to our sponsors!
