We all have been formed by things that have been said to us, done to us, or done around us. It's part of being human. Every event that has had an impact on our lives, whether positive or negative, is a type of trauma by definition. The Bible teaches us to come out of the conformity that we've experienced in the world to be transformed by the renewing of our minds.

Our bodies tell the stories of our trauma. We often use our faith to caveat those stories, but our faith can actually rewire those stories in our brain so that they are now used for God's purpose. We have to recognize those traumas, discover the lie those traumas made us believe about ourselves, declare the truth about what God says about about us, and develop daily habits that align with that truth.

Your faith cannot be separated from your body. It's all integrated, and it's all connected.

Here's my book I mentioned in this episode: https://a.co/d/1AvWXcp

I want to be blessed. Not like normal blessed. Supernaturally blessed. I want to be blessed so that all the people around me know that I'm blessed - I want that level of blessing. You know what I mean? Of course you do, because you want it too.

I was sitting in church when I read 2 verses in the middle of a larger narrative that made me zone out of the sermon for a good 15-20 minutes. The verses were 2 Samuel 6:11-12. I zoned out, because I preached a whole message to myself about those 2 verses. They struck me so hard that I want to share them with you today, and they're all about someone who was blessed in the way that we want to be blessed.

Let's walk and talk! In John chapters 14-17, Jesus says a phrase over and over again sprinkled throughout the 4 chapters: "Ask the Father anything in my name, and He'll give it to you." He also adds to some of them, "so that you may glorify the Father in Heaven."

That sounds wonderful, and you may even believe it; but how often has that actually happened for you? And how often do you practice that principle? Maybe there's more to it than meets the eye. Let's chat about it.

Also, I introduce this episode with a chat on giving you a theology for your biology. If you want to know more about this, check out https://revelationwellness.org.
