    Episode #36 Podcast Series Theme: Healing the Heart of the Believer —One Conversation at a Time.

    Episode #36 Podcast Series Theme: Healing the Heart of the Believer —One Conversation at a Time. https://youtu.be/yYFCE-oi5rQ When faith and pain collide, it can shake the very core of who you are. Many believers are silently suffering—hurt by people, wounded by systems, and carrying grief that’s been buried under service, titles, and expectations. In this powerful new season of The Dee-Brief with Dr. Dee, Rev. Dr. Darlene “Dr. Dee” Williams opens a sacred and honest conversation about what it really means to heal when the wound comes from the church. Together, we’ll unpack the heartbreaks we often hide—betrayal, burnout, loss, and disillusionment—and discover how God can use even the pain in sacred spaces to restore our faith and renew our purpose. Through storytelling, Scripture, and trauma-informed wisdom, Dr. Dee helps listeners move from questioning to clarity, from pain to peace, and from religion to true relationship with God. You’ll learn how to trust again, forgive again, and believe again—not because the past didn’t hurt, but because your healing matters to Heaven. 💜 This season features 10 transformational episodes, including: • When the Church Breaks Your Heart • Betrayed but Not Broken • Beyond the Altar Call • Grieving with God • The Church and the Mind ✨ Each episode offers a blend of truth, tenderness, and practical tools to help you rise whole—spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. If you’ve ever whispered, “Lord, how do I heal when the hurt came from Your house?” — this season is for you. Because your heart still matters to God. And healing is still His plan. https://youtu.be/yYFCE-oi5rQ
