185 | Don’t Let Your Unconscious Direct Your Life: More on Memory

We wanted to come back to the topic of memory—not because we missed something last time, but because memory matters more than most people realize. It’s not just about what happened; it’s about what continues to shape us, often outside of our awareness.In this conversation, Steve and Mary build on the previous episode and add real-life examples from ministry and experience. We talk about how unresolved memories quietly influence reactions, relationships, and spiritual posture. When those places remain unexamined, they don’t stay neutral—they lead.Even someone like Carl Jung, who was not writing from a Christian framework, observed something worth paying attention to: what remains unconscious will direct your life, and you’ll call it fate. Scripture affirms that same reality in its own way—what is hidden in the heart shapes the course of a life until it’s brought into the light.This episode isn’t about digging for the sake of digging. It’s about formation—how God meets us in memory, exposes what’s been quietly directing us, and brings freedom that doesn’t require effort or management.CrossCounsel WebsiteCrossCounsel on Facebook
