S1:EP6 Rebecca’s Testimony Part 1: The Garden
from Moms With A Call · host McKenzie Jevnikar & Rebecca Rowan
Welcome to Moms With A Call, a podcast for the spiritually curious and the courageously healing. In this sacred episode, Rebecca invites us into the beginning of her testimony, using the metaphor of The Garden to gently unpack the layers of emotional survival, dissociation, and the long road toward healing. Through honest conversation and reflection, Rebecca explores what it means to live in self-protection mode, to build inner walls, mask pain with control, and settle for the illusion of peace. It is also a story of breakthrough: stepping out of the “secret garden” we build to survive and into the grace-filled wilderness where God does His most tender work. We talk about: The garden as both refuge and prison Anxiety, panic, and the illusion of control Dissociation as a coping mechanism What true peace feels like when we finally let go The moment surrender begins, even if imperfectly This episode is for anyone who has ever felt like they were keeping it all together on the outside but falling apart on the inside. There is room for you here.
