What’s Inside Your Broken Heart? Part 1

In the latest episode of "Heal the Broken-Hearted" with Cherie Sheridan, co-host Daniel Bobinski and Cherie delve into the importance of addressing deep-seated emotional wounds of the heart.

However, before getting to that topic, Cherie starts by reviewing the concept of soul ties (from the previous episode), particularly in the context of grief. She explains that sometimes, our connections to departed loved ones can become unhealthy, hindering our ability to move forward. "Sometimes we can go beyond normal grieving," she notes, emphasizing that when grief becomes debilitating, it may be necessary to break these spiritual bonds. Simply saying “I break the soul-tie between me and ______” is all that’s necessary in these situations.

Daniel then affirms the simple but powerful use of words in spiritual healing. "When we pray in Jesus' name, it's as if Jesus were there. We have that authority in Christ," he says. This understanding empowers listeners to take an active role in their healing process, simply by speaking words of faith with authority.

The conversation then shifts to the impact of childhood trauma on our adult lives. Cherie points out that traumatic events can open doors to negative spiritual influences, affecting not only the individual but potentially their future offspring as well. "Every time that there's one of these events, doors are open and demonic activity comes in, whether it's fear, trauma, affliction, anger, or bitterness," she says. It’s important that we heal these wounds, not just for personal well-being but for breaking negative generational patterns.

From there, the podcast then focuses on the importance of understanding one's purpose in life and living life to the full. Cherie states that questions such as, "Who am I?”, “What am I created to do?” and “What is my purpose?" can provide direction if we have answers, but can be stumbling blocks if we don’t. She says answers to these questions are crucial for moving from merely existing to truly living. Connecting with God is essential in this process, as He is the ultimate source of our purpose and identity.

The podcast also touches on the impact of anger and negative emotions, and that heart-wounds that occurred in childhood, whether we’re conscious of them or not, can be the driving force behind ungodly actions in our lives decades later. Daniel shared his personal struggle with anger in his younger years, illustrating how unresolved emotional wounds from early in his life manifested in self-defeating and destructive behaviors. He candidly shared that healing can be an ongoing journey, often requiring persistent effort to bring things to God as layers of pain from those wounds are brought to the surface.

Throughout the show, listeners are encouraged to surrender their pain to God, practice forgiveness (both towards themselves and others), and be proactive in their healing process.

Like all “Heal the Broken Hearted” shows, this episode goes beyond simply pointing out what could be the source of our wounds; it also provides practical advice and hope for healing.

The act of looking into our hearts and getting our heart wounds healed can lead to profound personal transformation and spiritual growth. By addressing deep-seated wounds and aligning with God's purpose, we can move from a place of pain to one of purpose and fulfillment.

The journey to healing may be challenging, but it is possible with faith in God, the desire to be healed, and the perseverance to see it through.
