Overcoming Father Wounds w/Kia Stephens

Whenever we go to our spouse and not God to get ALL our unmet needs met, such as the unmet needs from our fathers, we're setting ourselves up for failure, as Kia Stephens reminds us on today's new powerful new E + M episode!


In fact, all throughout this month, we dig deep into spiritual and intergenerational healing topics in your life so you can find true healing.


Why? Your gifts are worthy to be exposed under the hurt, not just your traumas but the parts of you that you left behind when you had a loss or a hurt.


You truly have a special gift and creativity that literally no one else does, and you being healthy and balanced is key to unlocking your fullest potential!


However, often, you have to walk through questions, memories, or grief to get there to get to the root of why a habit has set in and take time to heal the wound that lies beneath.


But I'm not leaving you alone. This new series helps you to dig deep into so many deep wounds and spiritual questions we can walk through together that have stopped us from meeting with God or the community - and I am learning by your side.


In addition to father wounds here, we'll cover addiction, church hurt, grief, loss, and purity culture to name a few topics that are essential as we process how to live with the fullness of life we were created for.


This is especially important if you're "too busy" because the truth is, without true purpose and love and serving our world together, we have a failure to thrive.


And your questions deserve space and an audience.


In fact, I almost called this series, "Are You There God, it's me, (Your Name)?" because I realize we have many readers and listeners who have or will have a dark night of the spiritual soul, those who have unanswered pains and questions from communities of faith, leaving them uncertain about approaching God.


(To bring a bit of lightness and depth at the same time, I'm even taking you through a few of my childhood diary entries where you can see my own faith struggles!)


Kia's interview today is one you don't want to miss as you begin this healing journey with us.


Her book and wisdom on approaching father wounds (pictured above) comes recommended by Lysa Terkeurst, Jo Saxton, and many other grateful leaders and readers with a father wound too, and I'm so grateful she is here today with you and me right here!
