Many of us have been through a lot of pain, trauma, and other emotional baggage from our past. Sadly, we can’t move forward until we’ve dealt with them. But in doing so, we should remember that we are not meant to be carrying them alone.
God is a powerful healer and He invites us to throw our burdens to Him. He wants us to be free from the chains that have been holding us back. When we surrender our pain and trauma to God, He can do amazing things in our lives. He can turn our darkness into light and give us hope for the future. All we have to do is let Him in.
In this episode, Rachel sits with best-selling author and speaker, Tonni Lea Larson. Listen in as they share the first step to healing, why we should move away from the pity box, what it feels to experience Divine Healing, the benefits of taking time to sit down in silence, and the amazing things that can happen if we allow God’s fingerprint in our lives.
“God equips you for what He sends you for.” -Tonni Lea Larson
