In today’s episode of Hope in the Fire, we’re uncovering the hidden ways childhood trauma can impact every area of your life — spiritually, emotionally, mentally, physically, and nutritionally. If you’ve ever wondered why you struggle with anxiety, control, or feeling distant from God, this conversation is for you. You’ll learn why awareness matters and how to start inviting Christ into your healing process.

My prayer is that by the end of this conversation, you’ll have more compassion for yourself… and more hope that healing really is possible through Christ.
