(Ep. 71) Why You Can’t Truly Love God if You Hate Yourself

What if the healing that's transforming your heart is more biblical than you've been led to believe?In this episode of Triggered & True, Laura Duncan and co-host Brian Friese continue their conversation about common objections to the Compassion Method by addressing one of the biggest questions they hear from Christians: Is this process actually biblical?Laura shares her own faith journey and explains how her relationship with God shaped the development of the Compassion Method from the very beginning. Together, she and Brian explore why emotional healing and Christian faith never compete with one another—they have always been connected.Looking at Scripture through the lens of relationship rather than performance, they unpack how compassion, emotional awareness, and healing have been woven into God's heart all along.Rather than asking listeners to take their word for it, Laura points back to the life of Jesus, the Garden of Eden, and the consistent biblical pattern of God moving toward people in their pain before inviting them into transformation. It's a conversation for anyone who's wondered whether emotional healing can truly deepen—not diminish—their walk with God.In this episode:🔹 Laura shares how her own relationship with God led to the development of the Compassion Method🔹 Why the Compassion Method is rooted in biblical principles of relationship, compassion, and restoration rather than self-improvement🔹 What Scripture reveals about God's response to shame, pain, and emotional brokenness—from the Garden of Eden to the life of Jesus🔹 The difference between healing through relationships and striving through performance or religious obligation🔹 How emotional awareness and self-compassion can strengthen your Christian faith by helping you experience God's love more personally📩 Get your free Weekly Dose of Compassion — two short notes in your inbox every week.
