I hope this encourages you to trust in God’s plan for your health and treat your b...

As I was talking about releasing the victim mentality last week, I felt it was important to talk about another mental pattern that may be affecting your healing: judgement.

My goal this week is not to make you feel shame or guilt, but lovingly point out something you might not have considered before. Tune in to see if this simple mindset change can take you from just survi...
