The Hidden Power of Grieving Our Old Self for Spiritual Growth

from The Recovering Preacher's Kids · host The Recovering Preacher's Kids

What happens when following Christ changes you so deeply that you begin grieving the version of yourself you used to be?In this honest and deeply relatable conversation, Lori and Lisa unpack the hidden tension many believers experience between the “old self” and the person God is shaping them to become. Together they discuss spiritual maturity, personality, identity, grief, and the struggle of learning how to surrender who we were without losing the unique qualities God created within us.From reacting in the flesh to learning to respond through the Holy Spirit, this episode explores the difficult but beautiful process of growth, healing, and transformation in Christ.If you’ve ever wrestled with:• feeling torn between your old nature and your faith,• grieving past versions of yourself,• wondering where your personality fits into God’s plan,• or trying to understand why spiritual growth can feel so uncomfortable…this conversation is for you.Because maybe growth isn’t becoming someone entirely different. Maybe it’s allowing God to redeem who He created you to be all along.
