11. My Father Wasn't Safe - But God Was: Trusting Again After a Father Wound

This episode may feel tender. If June stirred up old grief or silence for you because of a complicated or painful relationship with your father, this space is for you.

In today’s solo reflection, I share a deeply personal part of my story — the impact of growing up with a father who wasn’t emotionally or physically safe, and how that experience shaped my relationship with trust, with love, and with God.

We’ll walk through:

• 
  

  What it means to rebuild trust with God

  
  


• 
  

  Why spiritual re-parenting matters

  
  


• 
  

  The truth that your value is not determined by someone else’s brokenness

  
  

You’ll also hear scripture reflections, a powerful journal prompt, and a reminder:

You didn’t deserve the pain — but you do deserve the healing.
