Making Sense of Your Story with Adam Young

About this episode

In this episode, Adam Young discusses the importance of our personal stories and how they shape our experiences and healing processes.

In this final episode of Season 3 of The Steadfast Podcast, Jessie Evans, LPC and Annalise sit down with Adam Young to talk about why our stories matter. Adam helps us understand that “story work” is not just about remembering the big timeline of our lives. It is about honoring the specific memories, wounds, joys, and moments that shaped how we experience ourselves, God, our relationships, and even our bodies today. Together, they explore trauma, kindness toward younger parts of ourselves, faith integration, parenting, the wisdom of the body, and why healing does not happen in isolation. You’ll also hear Adam’s powerful framework for healing: feeling your feelings and moving your body with others.
