This podcast is about helping other people. But it really came from the idea of the little child inside of me. Because it's creative. This art. I write. I'm writing a book now. That's the child inside of me. I'm in tune with it. I listen to him.
Ever wondered why some people never seem to outgrow their childhood self-centeredness? Vernon Layne, host of 'That Christian in Recovery', takes a deep dive into this phenomenon by exploring the concept of the inner child. In this thought-provoking episode, Vernon shares his own journey of self-discovery and how connecting with his inner child has been a game-changer in his relationships and overall life.
He emphasizes the crucial role of the 12-step recovery program in guiding individuals back to their childhood experiences, helping them understand the root causes of their beliefs and behaviors. This process, according to Vernon, is the first step towards genuine inner healing. Without this awareness, many remain trapped in a cycle of seeking external validation and healing from others. Through humility, faith, and dependence, Vernon illustrates how nurturing a loving relationship with oneself can positively transform all other relationships.
His personal anecdotes and insights offer a compelling argument for why understanding and healing our inner child is essential for personal growth and wholeness.
