God works on us like homeopathic remedies: gently, layer by layer.

Peeling back layers - it's a phrase homeopaths use to describe the healing journey, and in this final installment of our Encouragement Series, we discover how profoundly this metaphor applies to our spiritual lives as well.

When facing chronic illness, the center of that metaphorical onion can seem impossibly distant beneath years of accumulated layers. The journey toward wellness feels overwhelming, progress seems painfully slow, and sometimes old symptoms resurface just when we thought we were moving forward. Sound familiar? It's remarkably similar to our walk with God - the frustrations of sanctification, the disappointment when we struggle with issues we thought were resolved, and the confusion when growth happens in unexpected areas.

But there's profound beauty in these parallels. Just as homeopathic remedies work gently without forcing change, God works in our lives with grace and patience. He knows exactly how much transformation we can handle at once. And when those old symptoms or struggles return? That's not failure - it's often a sign that our bodies and souls are now stronger, better equipped to process and move through them permanently.

Melissa and Bri share a powerful story about a severely pruned fiddle leaf fig tree that appeared dead for a month before exploding with more abundant growth than ever before. What looked like certain death was actually the necessary preparation for unprecedented flourishing. What if our painful seasons of pruning are exactly the same?

Whether you're walking through physical healing, spiritual transformation, or both simultaneously, this episode offers encouragement for the journey. The layers are peeling back, one by one, in exactly the right order. And underneath it all? Something beautiful is emerging.
