We talk a lot about healing in today’s world — but too many believers are unknowingly clinging to their pain like a badge of honor. And the truth is? That pain has become an idol. In this episode, I’m exposing how trauma becomes a false identity, why it keeps you stuck, and how to finally break the cycles that are blocking your clarity, joy, and freedom in Christ.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:

• Why trauma becomes a “trophy” we dust off and display — instead of letting God dissolve it
• The uncomfortable truth about victimhood and how it masquerades as strength
• What it means to idolize your pain (and how the enemy feeds on it)
• 5 practical, biblical steps to break free from emotional strongholds
• How trauma keeps you spiritually deaf to the voice of God
• Why “he can’t speak louder than your distractions” is your wake-up call
• The power of repentance, Holy Spirit filling, and daily discipline as a form of spiritual warfare
• What true freedom looks like when you finally burn the identity built on pain

Takeaways:

You don’t need more coping tools.

You need to drop the baton the enemy beat you with—and stop running his race.

Freedom starts when you stop claiming what God already nailed to the cross.
