Shownotes

What if healing was never only about the body? If you have been carrying anger, resentment or an old hurt that will not lift, this conversation is for you.

On Healing Horizons, host Ria sits with author Marcia McFarland to explore spiritual healing, forgiveness and faith as daily practices that sit alongside medical care. You will leave with a gentler way to hold setbacks, and a reminder that emotional healing is rarely a straight line.

About the Guest:

Marcia McFarland is the author of Perfect Glory: 21 Spiritual Insights for the 21st Century. Raised in Washington State as the fifth of nine children, she returned to her Christian faith after a divorce and has served as a church elder.

Key Takeaways:

  • Healing includes the spirit. Unresolved anger and jealousy can slow recovery, even with good medical care.
  • Prayer and medicine can sit together. Share your struggle so others can support you.
  • Choose your circle. Stay close to spiritually and emotionally healthy people.
  • Forgiveness frees you. Holding on to hurt eats away from the inside.
  • A setback is not failure. Notice what pulled you off course, then begin again.
