Letting God Father You | Healing Perfectionism, Identity & the Nervous System | Pt. 2 with Dr. Ashleigh Moreland | 032
What happens when you stop trying to earn God's approval and begin experiencing Him as the loving Father He has always been?
In Part 2 of Leneé's conversation with Dr. Ashleigh Moreland, the focus shifts from understanding the nervous system to experiencing genuine relational healing with God.
Together they explore what it means to let the Father's love reshape your identity, your parenting, your relationships, and even the way you approach everyday life.
If you've spent years believing God is disappointed in you — or if the word Father feels more frightening than comforting — this episode offers a hopeful invitation to discover His heart in a whole new way.
