What if your first step out of hopelessness is simply telling the truth about where you are? Licensed counselor Therese Kessler Bailey joins us again to unpack how our deepest wounds can become places of encounter with God. We talk about the origins of negative thoughts, how the enemy twists truth, and what it means to invite Jesus into the hard places. If you’ve been battling lies or shame, this conversation reminds you that healing starts when you turn toward God — not away.
