In this powerful episode of the "Secure in God's Embrace" podcast, join host Cheryl and her insightful guest, Lynne Rienstra, as they uncover the profound impact of unhealed childhood wounds on perfectionism and people-pleasing tendencies. Discover the transformative healing offered through God's Word and the importance of recognizing our identity in Christ.
Cheryl and Lynne delve into the impactful story of Lazarus in John 11, inspiring you to find hope and renewal by embracing God's greater purpose in our suffering.
Takeaways: People-pleasing and perfectionism are often symptoms of childhood trauma.
Striving, people-pleasing, and the quest to be perfect leave us depleted and exhausted.
The lies we believe about ourselves frequently shape our identity.
Through the power of the Holy Spirit and God's Word, we can uproot the lies we believe and replant with the truth.
Like Mary and Martha, we might need to adjust our expectations of God.
God's timing in our suffering serves a greater purpose.
God is always present, even in our darkest moments.
