What if the pain you've been trying to ignore is the very thing keeping you from experiencing the healing and freedom God has for your life?
Why do emotional wounds continue to affect us long after the painful moments have passed?
Why do so many people carry childhood trauma, rejection, shame, fear, and brokenness into adulthood without ever experiencing true healing?
In this powerful inspirational episode, Reginald D sits down with author of Collide: Running Into Healing When Life Hands You Hurt, Bible teacher, speaker, podcast host, and founder of Collide Ministry, Willow Weston, to discuss how unresolved pain, generational trauma, and emotional wounds can quietly shape our lives—and how Jesus offers genuine healing and lasting freedom.
Growing up with an alcoholic mother, Willow experienced instability, fear, embarrassment, and emotional pain that followed her well into adulthood. She shares how God transformed her life by teaching her that healing doesn't come from ignoring pain—it comes from bringing it honestly before Christ. Her message challenges the common belief that we simply "move on" from trauma, explaining instead that unresolved pain follows us until we allow God to heal it.
In this episode you'll discover:
- Why unresolved emotional pain follows us through life
- How generational trauma is passed from one generation to another
