My special guest, Sheri Thompson, the HOPE coach, joined me in a conversation to talk about how inner healing and emotional healing play a part in overcoming some struggles of living healthy. She shares her personal testimony of coming to the Lord, walking through her own healing, and how that is still playing a part in her own health journey.    She bridges the gap in our understanding of how revisiting some past hurts and traumas can truly help us live our healthiest selves, make our healthiest decisions and do all of it for the glory of God!    I recorded this with Sheri a few weeks back and even as I was relistening to it just before recording this intro I am blown away by all the goodness and truth shared in this conversation.    We talked about things like:  what full surrender of something in your health can actually look like and how it can impact your life and relationship with God how your past T.R.U.T.H is often what is making your current decisions.  And how what you choose not to heal and surrender to God will always circle back around either in you or in the generations following you.    Sheri challenged us with the reality that most of us don’t do the work that is required to actually heal from our past and stop letting it dictate how we live in the present and left us with the encouragement to actually take the time, do the work, let God heal us so we can live as the healthiest version of ourselves the way He created us to live.    I know you will be blessed by this conversation and I pray the Lord uses it for His glory as you continue forward living healthy and empowered!  (If you want to listen to more on this topic, check out #37: "Want to set goals for long term results in your health?
