    Relearning God's Character: Kind, Loving, and Just

    🎧 Episode Summary This week, Keana W. Mitchell invites listeners into a powerful conversation about spiritual restoration and emotional clarity. Many of us were taught distorted versions of God’s character angry, distant, or conditional. These misrepresentations, whether through fear-based theology, religious trauma, or misused scripture, can deeply affect our mental health and spiritual intimacy. In this episode, Keana explores how relearning God’s true nature kind, loving, and just can transform our emotional well-being and deepen our relationship with Him. Through biblical examples, psychological insights, and trauma-informed healing exercises, you’ll be guided back to the heart of a God who whispers grace, not fear. 🔁 Last Week’s Recap Last week’s episode, “Healthy Giving vs. Financial Abuse in the Church,” unpacked how spiritual manipulation around money can distort our view of generosity and God’s provision. Keana explored the difference between peace-led giving and coercive tactics, laying the groundwork for this week’s deeper dive into God’s character. 📖 What You’ll Learn How distorted views of God affect mental health and spiritual connectionBiblical stories where God revealed His true characterHow mercy and justice coexist in God’s loveClinical research on the emotional impact of misrepresenting GodFive healing exercises to help you rediscover who God is to youHow understanding God’s love can lead to emotional safety and spiritual intimacy🛠️ Healing Exercises Included Each practice is paired with a scripture for reflection: God Image Journal – John 14:9Scripture Meditation – Psalm 103:8Prayer of Reintroduction – Jeremiah 24:7Lyric Reflection – Zephaniah 3:17Character Collage – Exodus 34:6📥 Download the full healing guide in the show notes 🎶 Song of the Week “God’s Love” by Unique-ly Chosen This song is a declaration of divine kindness, mercy, and justice. 🎥 Watch the lyric video in the show notes 📥 Healing guide available for download 🧠 Research Highlight According to NeuroLaunch (2025), fear-based religious teachings can contribute to emotional dysregulation and obsessive behaviors.
