What if you knew you don’t have to pass down to your children the pain that was passed down to you?

In the concluding episode of the Ever After Podcast, we celebrate the fact that none of our stories are over, because Jesus is still writing them, still redeeming them, still transforming them into something beautiful in ways we cannot see.

Anita shares some of the benefits she is presently experiencing because of the healing God has done in her heart. She highlights the choice God has given all of us to step into our healing journeys. He will never impose His will on us but continues to gently invite us to join Him in this venture. 

This series concludes with a look at how trauma is passed down to the next generation if left unprocessed and how that sobering reality could be our biggest motivator yet to pursue our own spiritual and emotional healing.
