Have you been running from your pain because no one ever showed you what healing actually is?

Chris Stefanick sits down with Sr. Miriam James Heidland, a religious sister and Catholic speaker with the John Paul II Healing Center, to talk about why most of us spend our lives avoiding the hardest parts of our stories. Sr. Miriam explains that real transformation starts when we're willing to bring those places to the Lord.

They take on common beliefs such as:

• Healing is only for people with severe trauma
• Healing means fixing or managing yourself
• Healing is optional as long as you're saved

Chris and Sr. Miriam also get honest about why opening your heart feels so risky, how the walls we build to protect ourselves end up hardening us, and what the Sacred Heart shows us about another way to live.

What would change if you stopped running from the places that hurt most and let the Lord meet you there?
