In Episode 9 of Rooted & Radiant with Lydia, we talk about the hard truth behind real healing: it requires honesty. Many of us want peace without discomfort, healing without confession and change without facing what’s actually happening beneath the surface.We open up about the ways people numb themselves alcohol, nicotine, overeating, endless TV, scrolling, shopping and distraction and how those habits can quietly keep us stuck. We also discuss anxiety, financial stress, comparison on social media and the moment God holds up a mirror and shows us what needs to change.This episode is for anyone who feels overwhelmed, spiritually stuck or afraid that following God means losing freedom. We share why faith doesn’t take freedom it restores it by breaking the power of what controls you and guiding you into truth, peace and healing.Key theme: God cannot heal what we refuse to bring into the light.If you’re new here, welcome. This community is for seekers, skeptics and believers who want honest conversations about God, healing and real life.Subscribe for more episodes, testimonies and our Daily Bread Scripture series.📖 Scripture:Psalm 32:3-5 https://docs.google.com/document/d/16bRSKLRsSUGXog2s5GELd1ZwPXGxABdKUCDp22hxyX8/edit?usp=sharing📌 Interested in being a guest on the podcast?https://rooted-and-radiant.wyatt-work...⛪️ Urban Poiema Church (Milwaukee, WI):https://www.urbanpoiema.com/Stay Rooted in faith and Radiant in grace.
