What if the reason you keep reacting, withdrawing, or losing patience isn’t about your present—but your past?
In this episode, Jerrad unpacks Step 3 of the Seven Steps of Discipleship: Addressing Past Wounds—a practical and gospel-centered conversation about facing the pain we’ve carried instead of burying it. With honesty and compassion, he walks men through why ignoring our wounds doesn’t make them disappear; it just makes them leak into our marriage, our parenting, and our leadership.
Through biblical truth, personal story, and real-world guidance, Jerrad helps you see that this step isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about inviting God into the places you’ve avoided for too long.
With a mix of vulnerability and hope, this episode will help you:
Whether you’ve minimized your pain, masked it with work, or felt like your story doesn’t matter, this episode is a reminder that strong families begin with healed men—and healing starts when you face what’s been buried.
Prayer:
“Father, reveal the wounds I’ve tried to hide. Give me courage to bring them into the light, and remind me that Your grace is big enough to heal every part of my story.”
