Wholehearted Storywork Part 1

Pain changes you. Loss, disappointment, betrayal, or suffering can quietly shape how you see yourself, God, and the world.

In this first episode of the Wholehearted Storywork series, Amy introduces the Victim role, not as an identity to reject or a mentality to shame, but as a place in the story where real pain is named and honored.

This conversation explores the difference between acknowledging harm and becoming stuck in it, and how Scripture invites you into holy lament rather than denial, blame, or self-erasure.

You'll explore: 

• Why being a victim of pain is not a failure of faith.
• How unprocessed hurt can shape your story.
• The difference between telling the truth about what happened and living from a victim mentality.
• Why lament is a faithful and biblical response to suffering.
• How healing begins with paying attention, not pressure or quick resolution

This episode is not about fixing your pain or rushing your healing. It's about creating space for honesty, compassion, and the slow work of formation.

If you've been carrying a story that hurts (and aren't sure what to do with it), this conversation offers language and a way forward that doesn't bypass your humanity.

Being in the Victim role doesn't mean you stay there; it simply means you're telling the truth about where you are.

Healing begins when the truth is told in the presence of God's unconditional love.
