When Wanting Change Isn't Enough: A Romans 7 Perspective
from Rooted and Renewed: Healing Trauma and Restoring Faith · host Sheila Hochberg
Many people of faith carry a quiet frustration: “I love God. I want to do differently. So why do I keep responding the same way?”In this episode, we explore Romans 7 through a nervous system lens, looking at why sincere desire and strong faith don’t always translate into immediate change. We talk about how early experiences shape our responses long before conscious choice is available, why faith doesn’t instantly erase learned patterns, and how compassion, rather than pressure, is often the doorway to real healing.This conversation is not about self-condemnation or trying harder. It’s about understanding how God designed the body to learn, adapt, and heal, and why process does not mean failure.We’ll be going deeper into this topic inside the Healing Vault, where we gather live every Tuesday evening at 6:30 PM inside the Rooted & Renewed Facebook group to explore these patterns more slowly and with care.https://www.facebook.com/share/17fYtTgvGL/https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1AHmxcrtMn/
