8. Defeating Shame and Overcoming Trauma: Reflections from Romania and Beyond

What's up, everybody! I'm back after a brief break from the podcast & let me tell y'all, this EP was worth the wait! ☆ ☆ ☆ Listen in as I sit down with a beloved mentor of mine, Miss Anca, as we discuss how we can practically heal from past trauma. She details her life growing up in communist-ruled Romania, and how her family adjusted to living in freedom after the Romanian Revolution. Her story speaks volumes of her tenacity throughout that season, as well as her experience of accepting Christ, a conversion that was largely frowned upon by her family and close friends. She also speaks of losing her sister to cancer in 2018, which jump started her path to true healing and freedom. We talk about the adoption of her son, her journey of healing from childhood abuse, and much more. Join us as we discuss how we, through counseling and community, can break free from the bondage of the past in order to truly enjoy the present life God has graciously given. ☆ ☆ ☆ “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come.” 2 Corinthians 5:17 ☆ ☆ ☆ While trauma may not be our fault, it becomes our responsibility to deal with it. Tune in to hear some practical tips on how we can make living in freedom possible with the help of the Lord and others! Go out & be a light! #livoutsidethebubble :)
