When I’ve prayed with folks for inner healing, sometimes they want to hold back on issues that involve parents. We’re often hesitant to imply that our parents did something wrong. If you struggle with this concern, remember that your process of inner healing is not about your parents. It’s about the things in your heart … Continue reading Forgiving Parents Is Not about Blame

Jesus: Transformation Groomer
Bible Verse “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” — Romans 12:2a NIV Reflection I just took my puppy to the groomer for the first time. He is a Yorkie, so I prepared myself that he would come home looking very different. Yorkies are … Continue reading Jesus: Transformation Groomer
Submitting Our Lies to God’s Truth
One of the biggest things that blocks us from growing deeper in our relationship with God is the lies we believe about ourselves. Lies such as “I’m stupid,” “I’m no good,” or “I’ll never amount to anything.” Or lies like “I have to take care of myself” or “I have to keep the peace at … Continue reading Submitting Our Lies to God’s Truth
Will the Real Me Please Stand Up?
All my life, I have struggled with being a doormat. For a long time, I thought that's what I should be. No one really explained that things could (or should) be different. I passively accepted whatever came my way. I thought that was the way I was supposed to live. As you can imagine, things … Continue reading Will the Real Me Please Stand Up?

Let the Daily Journey of Transformation Begin
I am immersed right now in editing the book of an inner healing teacher and spiritual coach. As I work through (and live) the words of this book, I am reminded of why inner healing is an ongoing, even daily process - the dying to self daily of 1 Corinthians 15:31. I have worked with … Continue reading Let the Daily Journey of Transformation Begin
Honor is Not the Same as Tolerance
When I was growing up, my mom would often vent to me about her bitterness toward people. My mom was not the kind of person people would think of as bitter. In public, she came across as quiet and kind, and a little bit quirky and eccentric. What people didn’t realize was that her compassion … Continue reading Honor is Not the Same as Tolerance
Don’t Avoid the Pain
I used to try almost anything to avoid pain (food addiction, denial, avoiding people, deciding not to care, etc.). I even caused my own pain to avoid the pain of being hurt by someone else. That may sound crazy, but if you have been in an abusive relationship, you might understand that. Little did I … Continue reading Don’t Avoid the Pain
4 Things to Know about Generational Healing
Generational healing prayers are among my favorites. Why? Because I have seen such powerful changes through these prayers. Consider this: Because of the power of Christ, you have the ability today to stand in for entire generations of your family and repent for generational sin. God can bring redemption and realignment to your family line, … Continue reading 4 Things to Know about Generational Healing
