27 | Learning to Fly: Spiritual Healing That Lasts | The Path Home: Phase 5

You've had the breakthrough. You've glimpsed who you really are. But now what? How do you actually LIVE as this new woman — especially when life gets hard and the old patterns try to pull you back?

Episode Description

In this final episode of The Path Home series, Debra reveals why breakthroughs don't always stick — and what it actually takes to make transformation permanent. This is Phase Five: Growing Your Wings. The caterpillar has dissolved, but the butterfly's wings are still wet. It's time to develop the capacity to fly. If you've ever had a powerful moment of healing and then slipped back into old patterns, this episode will show you why — and how to finally break free for good.

In this episode, you'll discover:

→ Why breakthrough isn't the end — it's just the beginning

→ The difference between feeling different and actually living different

→ What "growth codes" are and why they make transformation permanent

→ How to navigate the uncomfortable liminal space between old and new

→ The promise of Philippians 1:6 — He who began a good work WILL complete it

Healing Truth

Transformation isn't a moment — it's a process. And you don't have to do it alone. The God who started this work in you is faithful to finish it. Your wings are growing. And one day soon, you're going to fly.

Scripture: Philippians 1:6 — "He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion."
