What happens when the pain of your past begins shaping the way you see yourself, others, and even God? Can childhood trauma, rejection, and painful experiences create spiritual strongholds that keep us from living in the freedom Christ intended?

On this episode of Sit on That Stump in Muddy Bottom, host Vikki Parker welcomes author, pastor, and speaker Brandi Cunningham for a powerful conversation about overcoming trauma, breaking destructive thought patterns, and discovering healing through the truth of God's Word.

Brandi discusses her book, Deprogrammed, which explores how painful experiences, deeply rooted beliefs, and spiritual strongholds can influence our identity, relationships, and decisions—sometimes without us even realizing it.

Together, Vikki and Brandi explore:


Breaking Spiritual Strongholds: How negative thought patterns and false beliefs can take root and influence our lives.


Healing from Childhood Trauma: Why experiences from decades ago can continue affecting our relationships, self-worth, and identity.


The Power of God's Truth: What Scripture teaches about renewing our minds and taking every thought captive.


Overcoming Rejection: How painful experiences can create lasting feelings of inadequacy and unworthiness.


Healing from Church Hurt: Why spiritual wounds can be especially difficult to overcome and how healthy boundaries and trust can be rebuilt.


Finding Your Identity in Christ: Learning to recognize the difference between what happened to you and who God says you are.

Drawing from personal experiences, biblical teaching, and years of ministry, Brandi shares insights into the healing process and the importance of replacing destructive beliefs with biblical truth.

Your past may have shaped your thinking, but it does not have to define your future.

Whether you're struggling with childhood wounds, painful memories, rejection, church hurt, or negative beliefs about yourself, this conversation offers encouragement to begin pursuing healing and spiritual freedom.
