Willful Blindness and Getting Unstuck

07/26/23 • 18 min

In this episode, we examine what it means to be in denial. When we close our eyes to the reality around us and continue not to address the real elephants in the room that are destroying the room. It's so hard to step out of our pride and open up to grace, but with it comes healing.

Breaking cycles, finding healing, and making life change. We believe that God can bring about change in your life for your good and His glory.

Stepping Into The Light

In the first episode of the Rooted podcast, we dive into our first significant principle for change, stepping into the light. We often feel ashamed or alone in our struggles and situations, but that doesn't have to be true. We can step into the light and find healing and lasting life change.

No matter if you are struggling with an addiction or past hurt there is help and healing but that can't happen until we start addressing things openly. I hope you are willing to join me on this journey.

We believe that lasting life can happen for your good and for God's glory.

Choose Your Hard

In this episode of The Rooted Podcast, we discuss the importance of change and healing. Making the choice to change is difficult, but staying stagnant also has its challenges. We encourage you to have an honest conversation with yourself and confront any barriers to growth. Remember, both choices are tough, but one leads to hope and the life we desire.
