220 // Why Hearing that God Loves You Sometimes Isn’t Enough (and What Actually Heals the Heart)

You can believe that God loves you—and still struggle to truly feel it.

In this episode, I explore why hearing the phrase “God loves you” isn’t always enough to heal the heart, especially for women who've lived through abuse, trauma, or spiritually unsafe environments.

I share personally how even after coming to faith, and even after growing in biblical knowledge, there were seasons when my nervous system and emotions didn’t align with the truth I believed. I knew God loved me—but parts of me still didn’t feel safe enough to receive it. And in certain seasons, letting God love me in new ways felt surprisingly hard.

💫 We’ll talk about:

• Why knowledge alone doesn’t always lead to healing
• How trauma and survival patterns can block even holy, safe love
• Why real love requires safety—not pressure
• How God gently helps the heart and body relearn what love truly feels like

🥰 I’ll also share two practical steps to help you begin receiving God’s love more deeply, including a simple reflection exercise and an invitation into Relate Escape Place (https://www.relateescape.com/membership)—a safe, faith-centered community built to mirror how God loves: with patience, compassion, and truth.

Healing is a process. But God’s love is not only real—it’s safe, and it’s powerful enough to heal the heart.
