In this moving and restorative conversation, Luke sits down with trauma recovery specialists Jana England and Natalie Jordy, co-leaders of a Spirit-led healing practice that goes beneath the surface to help people reprogram pain, shame, and emotional blocks stored deep in the subconscious. Together, they explore the power of the Holy Spirit in healing trauma, why journaling prepares us to tell the truth, and how God is using tools like emotional bodywork and somatic listening to bring people out of survival mode and into freedom.
Key Takeaways:
God Wants to Heal the Whole Person
Jana and Natalie explain how trauma isn’t just a mental battle but something stored in our bodies. Healing begins when we give God permission to access even the parts of us we've hidden or numbed.
Journaling is a Gateway to Deeper Healing
Luke shares how the Holy Work journaling method helps people get honest in private first—so they can eventually be honest in community. Journaling clears mental clutter and prepares the heart for transformation.
From Control to Surrender
The conversation explores how many people who carry trauma have developed overfunctioning, controlling tendencies as coping mechanisms. But true healing comes not from performing but from surrendering.
The Body Holds What the Mind Avoids
Jana and Natalie describe how trauma often hides beneath logic and words. They talk about how spiritual bodywork and Holy Spirit-led discernment help people get to the real roots beneath their behaviors and patterns.
The Inner Critic Isn't the Final Word
Journaling interrupts the loop of shame and fear by making room for the truth. Naming feelings and thoughts on paper takes away their power and invites God in to speak something new.
You Don’t Have to Heal Alone
Luke, Jana, and Natalie share why healing is not a solo journey. They encourage listeners to seek both guided spiritual practices and professional support.
