Today I want to explore the four common responses people have when they have experienced or are experiencing something that is threatening or traumatic. In particular, I want to focus on the fawning response and how that relates to our view of and our relationship with God.

I’m finishing up a new book chronicling my relationship with myself and God through years of spiritual lies and emotional abuse. For the last few weeks I’ve been letting you into the creative process by sharing bits and pieces of my rough draft.

But for now, enjoy this last little sneak peek from Part 4 of my book: the part where I finally fly free.

Come listen to the story of my fight for freedom and some of the threads of my life that have made a major impact on me as an adult.
