How do you heal from past hurt when the person who hurt you never apologizes, changes, or gives you closure?

In this episode of the Rise to Freedom Podcast, Cecilia Columbus explores what it means to take responsibility for your healing without taking responsibility for what happened to you.

Inspired by Chapter 1 of her book, Breaking the Chains: Finding Healing, Forgiveness, and Freedom in God, Cecilia shares how unresolved hurt, rejection, church hurt, abuse, unforgiveness, and limiting beliefs can become emotional and spiritual blockages that keep us stuck.

She also reflects on Romans 8:28 and a powerful truth: something doesn’t have to be good for God to work it for your good.

In this episode, you’ll discover how to identify what may be blocking your healing, stop waiting for someone else to give you permission to move forward, and begin asking a different question: “God, what can You do with what happened?”

Your past may have affected you, but it does not have to have the final say over what happens next.

In this episode: healing from past hurt, forgiveness, emotional healing, letting go of blame, finding closure, overcoming rejection, church hurt, breaking unhealthy patterns, Christian personal growth, Romans 8:28, and finding freedom in God.

God has already given you everything you need to rise—flaws and all.
