Do you find yourself replaying what happened over and over, unable to look away?

Does the pain feel so loud that it takes up everything?

Has the hurt started telling you who God is?

You'll Walk Away With...

• Why pain wants all of your attention, and what happens when your eyes stay on the wound
• The difference between honest lament and letting the pain define God
• What the story about a bronze serpent on a pole teaches about healing, and why Jesus said it was about Him
• Why God is the Lifter of your head, and what David knew about betrayal
• The one-word shift in Psalm 23 that happens in the darkest part of the valley
• A second question to add to your Psalm 23 Mornings

This episode is part of The Heart Reset, a four-week series walking through the 30-Day Heart Reset Map. If you came to my Heart Reset workshop, this is the companion to Week 2 of your map. If you didn't, you can still follow along easily.

We're in Week 2: See Him. I share the drawing from my workshop of a woman with her head bowed, staring at her broken heart, and walk through three truths: pain wants to take over; look up and live; and God is the Lifter of your head. We look at Numbers 21, where God's people were healed by looking up at the bronze serpent, and at John 3, where Jesus says that story pointed to Him. Then we see how, in Psalm 23, David's voice changes in the valley, from "He" to "You."

Where is God in all of this? Does He even see me?

How can I trust Him when I don't trust anyone right now?

Will I ever feel safe again?

You'll Walk Away With...

• Why what you believe about God shapes how you face your fear
• How the storm of betrayal can expose your foundation, and why that's an invitation, not a failure
• What Psalm 23 shows you about a Shepherd who stays with you in the valley
• The answer to the lie "I'm on my own"
• Week 2 of the 30-Day Heart Reset Map: a simple 5-minute morning practice

This episode is part of The Heart Reset, a four-week series walking through the 30-Day Heart Reset Map. If you came to my Heart Reset workshop, this is the companion to Week 2 of your map. If you didn't, you can walk it with us right here, one week at a time.

In Week 1, we looked at the fear underneath survival mode and the lie that says, "I'm on my own." This week is about focusing on how we see Him. After betrayal, our picture of God can get blurry, and the storm reveals what we really believe. In this shaky season the enemy will tempt us to doubt God's goodness. Today we open Psalm 23 and meet a Shepherd who feeds, guides, and shields, and who promises, "You are with me," right in the valley. Then I give you this week's practice: Psalm 23 Mornings.

Have you been asking yourself:

Why do I feel like I have to hold everything together?

Why can't I just let my guard down?

Will I ever feel safe again?

You'll Walk Away With...

• The one lie underneath your survival mode: "I'm on my own"
• How to catch that lie in your own "I have to" sentences
• What the very first fear in the Bible (Genesis 3) reveals about why we hide after betrayal
• Why God's question, "Where are you?", is an invitation, not an accusation
• Why the answer to fear isn't a stronger you, but a present God
• One simple practice to add to this week's Heart Check

This episode is part of The Heart Reset, a four-week series walking through the 30-Day Heart Reset Map: See Yourself, See Him, Decide, and Tend. Each week has a Monday Heart Check and a Thursday Deep Dive.

We're in Week 1: See Yourself. In Episode 72, we talked about how every survival mode is protecting you from a fear. Today we go one layer deeper, to the lie underneath that fear. I share the sentence I didn't know I believed, "Trust no one but myself," and walk through three truths: survival mode runs on the lie that you're on your own; that lie is as old as the garden; and the answer to it is a Person, not a feeling. We look at Genesis 3, where God comes looking for hiding hearts, and Hebrews 13, where He promises, "I will not, I will not, I will not… leave you or forsake you."
