62) Waiting on God, Navigating Through Forgiveness and Reactive Abuse

Waiting on God, forgiving ourselves, and navigating the complexities of reactive and narcissistic abuse. Whether you’ve felt lost in the chaos of emotional turmoil or struggled to reconcile your faith with your experiences, this episode speaks to the heart of your healing journey. As Christians, we often hear about the importance of waiting on God. But what does that really mean when we’re living through intense emotional pain or the effects of an abusive relationship? Together, we'll explore the biblical foundation for waiting on God, learning to trust His timing and presence in our lives, even when it feels like hope is out of reach. In navigating the aftermath of reactive and narcissistic abuse, an often overlooked aspect is the toll it can take on our self-perception and faith. Many of us find ourselves reacting in ways that don’t align with who we want to be, leading to guilt and regret. We’ll tackle the critical topic of self-forgiveness—recognizing that it’s not only okay to feel hurt but essential for our healing. Understanding that our past actions don’t define our worth in Christ is a monumental part of this journey. We’ll leave behind the shame and embrace God’s grace, learning to view ourselves through His loving eyes. Tune in as we unpack these themes together, offering hope and healing narratives that encourage you to embrace your story, flaws and all. Remember, you are not alone in this, and with time, patience, and God’s unwavering love, healing is truly possible. Join me for this heartfelt conversation, and let’s take a step closer to becoming the better versions of ourselves that God intends for us to be. Together, we can navigate through the pain, practice forgiveness, and ultimately, find the peace that only comes from resting in His promises.
