Grieving the Old You

from Wholly Unmasked with BreAnn Lovett · host BreAnn Lovett

In this episode of Wholly Unmasked, we’re talking about the grief nobody warns you about when you start healing, growing, and walking deeper with Jesus — grieving the old version of yourself.Through the story of Lot’s wife, Israel in the wilderness, Paul’s words about “dying daily,” and the rich young ruler, we unpack what it really looks like to let go of old identities, toxic patterns, survival mode, and the comfort of dysfunction. Because sometimes freedom feels uncomfortable when brokenness is all you’ve known.This episode is an honest conversation about spiritual growth, surrender, sanctification, and why following Jesus doesn’t always feel easy. We’ll talk about why we romanticize what nearly destroyed us, why healing can feel like loss before it feels like freedom, and how God calls us forward instead of backward.If you’ve ever missed old versions of yourself, struggled to let go of familiar pain, or felt exhausted by the process of transformation, this episode is for you.You are not failing.You are being refined.And resurrection always requires something to die first.
