Many of us fear that our deepest wounds will permanently define us and we'll never again experience joy. A betrayal. A divorce. A devastating loss. A season that changed everything.

We wonder:
Will I ever be okay again?
Will I ever trust again?
Will I always carry this pain?

In this honest conversation, Carol sits down with her pastor, Jim Kinder, to discuss what healing really looks like and how to live from an identity rooted in Christ instead of an identity rooted in pain.

Jim shares his personal story of walking through betrayal, seeking counseling, leaning on men in his faith community, and ultimately experiencing restoration, a healthy marriage and renewed purpose.

Together, they explore why what is temporary should never define what is eternal.

In This Episode, We Discuss:
Why our worst experiences don't define us
How betrayal can distort our identity
The role healthy community plays in healing
What healing does and doesn't look like
How counseling and spiritual growth work together
How to recognize when you're moving from surviving to healing
Building healthy relationships after painful experiences
Practical ways to avoid bitterness
The first thing someone needs to hear after experiencing betrayal

Life is too short and God has too much for us to do for any of us to live enslaved. Jesus promised His followers would experience filled to overflowing life, a life characterized by joy, peace, and spiritual and emotional vitality. And yet, we daily make decisions based on fear, not faith. In Faith Over Fear, author and speaker Jennifer Slattery helps us see different areas of life where fear has a foothold, and how our identity as children of God can help us move from fear to faithful, bold living.

⭐️ Finding God Faithful in Hard Seasons
⭐️ Courage to Wait on God

Jesus has more planned for us than we could imagine and He’s fully committed to perfecting that which concerns us. Fear holds us back, but His perfect love has the power to cast out all fear!
