Growing up in a dysfunctional or painful family system can leave deep emotional and spiritual wounds—especially if you were labeled the “scapegoat,” the “problem child,” or the one who “just couldn’t get with the program.” But what if the role you were assigned wasn’t who you truly are? And what if God sees you completely differently? In today’s video, we explore the “scapegoat child” through a trauma-informed and biblical lens—unpacking why this child often becomes the truth-teller of the family, how survival strategies shape the nervous system, and most importantly: how God sees you, names you, and heals you.

Today You’ll learn:

✨ Why some children become the “identified patient” in dysfunctional homes

✨ How chronic stress rewires the brain for survival

✨ The emotional and spiritual cost of carrying the family’s unresolved pain

✨ Why your sensitivity was never a weakness

✨ What Scripture says about how God sees the rejected, misunderstood, and overlooked

✨ How God restores the parts of you that trauma tried to bury

✨ Practical steps toward healing, identity, and emotional freedom If you grew up feeling blamed, unseen, or “too much,” this teaching will speak deeply to your heart.

God does not call you the names your trauma gave you. He calls you Beloved, Chosen, Restored, and His.
