Summary

What do you do if much of your pain is caused by your own choices? How do you begin to break free from shame and find God's grace in your past?For author, pastor and Bible teacher, Ines Franklin the journey towards healing has taken some time, but God has been with her every step of the way. Having grown up without a father, Ines found the wounds of her past and her own decisions led her to living with immense shame. She divorced twice, had two abortions, and had been engaged in an affair. When she came to know Jesus, she still carried around the scars that her pain and shame had left on her. As she began to more fully embrace the gift of God's grace in her life and as she told her story more openly, she started to see the shame lift and God used her brokenness to help others. In her latest book, Uncharted: Navigating Your Unique Journey of Faith, Ines looks at how each of us have our own road to walk when it comes to our faith and how even our greatest struggles can be used as a part of God's greater plan for our lives. In this episode, guest host Vaneetha Risner sits down with Ines to discuss how to disentangle shame from our stories, learning to understand God's grace in our lives and the importance of absorbing the pain we've caused others. If part of your pain is because of your own decisions, this conversation will encourage you that God can use even your worst choices to bring about healing and hope for yourself and others.

0:00.9	Hi, friend. I don't know what brought you to nothing as waste of ministries, but
0:05.5	if I had to guess, it was probably your own pain story. In fact, maybe you recently found us
0:11.3	in the work that we do because you're going through some kind of trauma, tragedy, or major
0:15.6	life transition. Maybe you've recently gotten the phone call with the unexpected diagnosis,
0:21.2	or you've lost a loved one, or you found out about your spouse's sexual betrayal.
0:26.7	Maybe your grief is extremely fresh, and right now you're wondering, what do I even do?
0:32.1	How do I move forward? What am I supposed to do right now? Listen, I've been there.
0:38.3	And we know how the early days after loss, or receiving the diagnosis,

1:04.3	life, especially when it takes this different direction than what you've ever imagined.
1:11.8	Now, we have a course called Pain to Purpose Course, and we know that it's so helpful for those who
1:15.9	have had a handful of months already processed their pain, but we knew we needed something for those
1:21.2	who have just found themselves in the middle of it, like their lives have just flipped upside
1:26.0	down. And so we've created this new four session mini-course called When Everything Changes,
1:32.6	navigating the early days of loss, trauma, and tragedy. Now, in this course, you'll hear from me
