What if your spiritual struggles have been confused with willpower or belief, but in reality, they stem from wounds inflicted long before you could understand them? In this groundbreaking first installment of a three-part series, Kathy Chastain and guest Kelly Ventura illuminate the powerful connection between childhood attachment trauma and our ability to trust God.

Every human is designed as a whole person—body, mind, emotions, and spirit—yet childhood experiences can fracture this unity, creating patterns that follow us into adulthood and spiritual life. Kelly, a licensed Pentecostal preacher with over 25 years of ministry experience, brings profound insight as he explains how the first five years of life establish templates for all future relationships—even our relationship with our Creator.

This episode offers hope beyond simple platitudes. When we understand that "your spirit is what becomes saved first, but your mind, emotions, and flesh need saving too," we gain compassion for ourselves and others who struggle. The healing journey involves recognizing intrusive thoughts as spiritual warfare rather than personal shortcomings, developing consistent spiritual practices, and intentionally choosing to see evidence of God's goodness.
