Have you ever tried to push your past under the rug, only to find it keeps resurfacing? In this episode of Diving Deeper into the Bible Journaling Podcast, we talk about why naming your wounds matters, how ignoring them affects our lives, and how God meets us in the honest places of our hearts.

I’ll share from my own journey—how naming my wounds gave me language to pray, helped me feel less alone, and opened the door for God’s healing. Together, we’ll look at Scripture, reflect on journaling prompts, and invite God into the places we’ve been tempted to overlook.

You don’t have to carry those hidden wounds anymore, friend. God is with you, and He is faithful to heal.
