Real healing begins when we stop hiding and let God in.

How many times have you said, "I'm fine," when you weren't?

In this powerful episode of Untrapped: Healing the Invisible Wounds to Living Your Dreams, Elizabeth Meigs reveals how years of pretending to be strong kept her trapped in emotional pain—and how God gently taught her that real strength begins with honesty.

"Journal and Invite" Practice
This week, journal one emotion you've been avoiding. Don't edit—just write what's real.
Then pray: "Lord, I don't want to carry this alone anymore. Meet me here. Show me what You want me to see."
Notice how your body softens as your heart opens. That's what healing feels like.
