Healing Trauma Through Faith | Why Do You Do the Things You Don't Want to Do?

In this heartfelt episode, Stacy Echevarria, licensed Pastoral Counselor, explores the timeless question from Romans 7: “Why do I do the things I don’t want to do?” Through her own story of pain, healing, and redemption, Stacy shares how unresolved childhood wounds can shape adult behavior—and how faith, truth, and intentional healing can transform those patterns.

Listeners will hear about Stacy’s journey from a painful upbringing through seasons of loneliness and searching, to finding freedom and identity in Christ. She and Todd discuss what makes pastoral counseling unique, how clients can prepare for the hard but rewarding work of healing, and the importance of confronting false beliefs with God’s truth.

Stacy also offers a free 20-minute consultation for new clients seeking Christ-centered support on their healing journey.

🔑 Key Takeaways
➡️ The struggle Paul describes in Romans 7 reflects our human tension between flesh and spirit.
➡️ True healing requires revisiting the past to understand and release pain that still drives behavior.
➡️ Pastoral counseling integrates biblical truth with emotional healing—Jesus is always at the center.
➡️ Clients don’t need to have it all figured out; they just need to be willing and ready to work.
➡️ False beliefs like “I’m unworthy” or “I’ll never change” are replaced with scriptural truth about God’s love and purpose.
➡️ Healing takes time, consistency, and courage—but the result is freedom and restoration through Christ.
