About this episode

Rodney Holmstrom discusses how past trauma, abandonment, and rejection influence our present and future.

Unfortunately, in this world, we will have trouble that brings up a lot of trauma, abandonment, and rejection. In celebrate recovery we are about facing those past traumatic wounds. But what happens when we avoid all of that and how does it shape our present in future when left unresolved? How does facing the pain of our past impact our present and our future? In this part 1 episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, will lean into some things to be aware of and how it shapes our belief system, our choices, and how we interact with the world, ourselves, and God. What are the healing benefits of facing the pain of our past?
