In this episode, I continue my conversation with Dr. Bob Schuchts to discuss the connection between inner healing and our ability to discern God’s will. We talk about how wounds, fears, and distorted images of God can create interior division that makes discernment difficult, even when we sincerely desire to follow Him. Dr. Bob also offers insights into how God’s love restores what has been fragmented within us, leading us toward greater wholeness, trust, and communion.
Reflection and Discussion Questions:
One thing that holds us back from giving God our Best Yes is fear–fear that isn’t always rational, that can come from our wounds. In that sense, inner healing can free us to make better, freer decisions. God’s love heals us, says Dr. Bob, but truth is also necessary for healing. How so? What happens if we seek to love but bypass truth?
According to Dr. Bob, someone who has been healed from trauma “can have a communion with God and hear God at a deeper level and have more freedom than most of us”? This is a beautiful example of how God works all things for good (Romans 8:28). Does his observation give you hope for your own wounds?
