    Why You Don't Have to Pursue Peace at Any Cost

    Forgiveness doesn't always mean reconciliation. Healing doesn't always mean returning to the relationship that hurt you. And surrender doesn't mean giving up your boundaries. For anyone carrying childhood wounds, questions about forgiveness, family, faith, and healing can become deeply intertwined. How do you forgive someone who hurt you? Can you experience peace without reconciling? And what happens when trauma has affected your identity, relationships, emotions, and ability to trust? In this episode of Room to Bloom, Julie Rebboah speaks with author, writer, and trauma-informed coach Hadassah Treu about her journey through childhood trauma, fear, emotional suppression, depression, suicidal thoughts, faith, forgiveness, and healing. Hadassah shares how a desperate prayer for God to reveal Himself became a turning point in her life and how discovering God's unconditional love changed the way she understood herself, her past, and her relationship with Him. Julie and Hadassah also unpack the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation and why Christians don't have to pursue peace at any cost. Key TakeawaysChildhood trauma can influence identity, emotional health, relationships, and self-worth long after childhood.Healing is possible, even when it happens slowly and in layers.Forgiveness and reconciliation are not the same—and reconciliation isn't always possible or healthy.We can pursue forgiveness without ignoring boundaries or returning to unsafe relationships.God can be experienced as gentle, trustworthy, loving, and non-controlling.Surrender is a daily practice of trusting God that can create space for greater peace. ⏱️ Timestamps00:00 — Introduction to Hadassah Treu 00:23 — Her story and work as an author and trauma-informed coach 03:00 — Childhood trauma, fear, and violence 04:50 — Identity loss, emotional suppression, and depression 06:10 — Suicidal thoughts and searching for purpose 07:25 — Praying for God to reveal Himself 08:20 — Hearing the gospel for the first time 09:05 — Accepting Jesus 10:00 — Why healing is possible after deep trauma 11:05 — Forgiveness and healing her relationship with her father 15:35 — Forgiveness vs. reconciliation 17:05 — When reconciliation isn't possible or healthy 18:40 — Why Christians don't have to pursue peace at any cost 20:40 — Experiencing God's unconditional love 22:35 — Surrender as a daily practice of trust 🌿 Connect with HadassahWebsite: On the Way BG Books: Hadassah Treu on Amazon Community: Join Hadassah's Community 🌸 Flourish in Hope Women's Virtual Reset & RetreatJoin Julie on September 19, 2026, from 10 AM–2 PM PT for the Flourish in Hope Women's Virtual Reset & Retreat, with an optional VIP experience from 2:15–3 PM PT.

    Why You Feel Like Something Is Missing: Finding Your Calling & Joy

    What if the very thing you've been told is “wrong” with you is actually connected to the way God uniquely designed you? In Season 5, Episode 10 of Room to Bloom, Julie Rebboah welcomes John “JR” Rennie from BrushFires Ministry for an inspiring conversation about finding your God-given purpose, discovering spiritual gifts, healing from past wounds, spiritual warfare, and experiencing lasting joy through obedience to God. JR explains why being comes before doing and how living from an endless to-do list can steal our joy. He shares how understanding who God created you to be can help you recognize your gifts, step into your calling, and become more available to God's direction. We also explore the connection between trauma and purpose. JR explains that deep trauma should be addressed with qualified trauma professionals, while discovering your God-given design and potential can help restore hope and give you a new perspective on your life. One of the most powerful parts of this conversation is the reminder that there is no expiration date on your calling. JR shares examples of people who discovered their purpose later in life—including someone in her 80s who began a prayer ministry that eventually reached people throughout the nation. In This Episode00:00 — Welcome: Finding lasting joy through God’s purpose 01:03 — JR’s story and the mission of BrushFires Ministry 01:34 — Being over doing: identity, obedience, and joy 03:55 — Discovering your gifts and calling 05:36 — Spiritual warfare and recognizing attacks on your purpose 08:06 — The A-T-P-I-I framework 09:10 — Trauma, healing, and reclaiming your calling 12:36 — Joy versus worldly happiness 15:47 — Faith, purpose, and no expiration date on your calling 17:21 — How to connect with BrushFires Ministry 18:24 — Closing remarks The A-T-P-I-I FrameworkJR introduces an acronym designed to help people recognize potential spiritual attacks: Accusation • Temptation • Provocation • Intimidation • Insinuation He explains that these experiences can influence our perceptions and provoke reactions rooted in fear, anger, or shame. Faith, Healing & PurposeFor anyone healing from childhood trauma or painful experiences, this episode offers an important reminder: your past does not have to define the rest of your story. JR shares examples of people who had experienced addiction, homelessness, abuse, and other significant hardships but later discovered gifts for leadership, counseling, and helping others. Their experiences became part of the compassion and perspective they could bring to serving others. As JR emphasizes, there is no expiration date on your purpose.

    The Fruits of the Spirit: The Love That Heals Childhood Wounds

    How does understanding God’s unconditional love transform the way we see ourselves, heal from childhood wounds, and build healthier relationships? In this episode of Room to Bloom, Julie Rebboah welcomes Dr. Gladys Childs for a powerful conversation about God’s love, self-love, childhood trauma healing, boundaries, forgiveness, and spiritual growth. Many people carry wounds from childhood, difficult relationships, or painful experiences that shape their understanding of love. When human love has been inconsistent, conditional, or hurtful, it can become difficult to receive the truth of God’s perfect and unconditional love. Dr. Gladys Childs shares how God’s love is the foundation for healthy self-love and how embracing our identity as God’s beloved can bring healing to wounded places.

This episode is especially meaningful for anyone seeking Christian mental health support, emotional healing, freedom from childhood wounds, deeper faith, and practical tools for spiritual growth. ✨ Key Takeaways❤️ God’s love is the foundation of our identity and worth.
