If God healed me, why don’t I feel normal?”

My daughter is 20 years old and has special needs. Yesterday she asked me that question—and it stopped me in my tracks as a dad and as a man of faith.

In this episode, I share an honest conversation about parenting a child with special needs, what healing really means, and how faith intersects with identity, disability, and feeling different. This isn’t a polished teaching—it’s a real reflection from a father learning how to walk with his child instead of trying to fix what was never broken.

If you’re a parent of a child with special needs, someone wrestling with faith and healing, or anyone who’s ever wondered why they don’t feel “normal,” this conversation is for you.

Topics covered:
– Parenting a child with special needs
– Faith and disability
– What healing really means
– Identity, worth, and feeling different
– Being a present father, not a fixer

👇 If this resonates, share it with a parent or someone who needs to hear they’re not alone.

In the journey of personal development, most of our lives are not crafted by decisions but by unseen patterns we practice, often unknowingly.

These patterns can leave us feeling stuck, frustrated, and unable to move forward. Have you ever felt like you're trying to think your way out of habits that weren't created by thinking? You might feel more frustrated than when you started, but the solution lies in recognizing these patterns and consciously reshaping them. The Difference Between Knowing and DoingAwareness is a powerful first step, but it's not enough to rewire your brain. You might be aware of habits and still find yourself repeating them. It's about replacing willpower with rewiring—developing new patterns that ease the journey from where you are to where you want to be. Remember, knowing is recognition, and change is retraining. How the Brain Forms HabitsNeurons that fire together wire together, creating a network that grows stronger with repetition. Whether you want to become a morning person or develop any new habit, repetition is key. Yet, repetitions are challenging when results aren't immediate. This common struggle in areas like weight loss or emotional clarity shows why you need to pair repetitive actions with small rewards to maintain motivation.The Importance of Repetition and EmotionRepetition strengthens pathways, but emotion locks them in, solidifying new habits. Attach emotional significance to your actions—whether joyful or sad—to solidify positive changes. By implementing this practice, the transformations you seek can extend into all aspects of your life.Training Your Brain for Positive ChangeYour brain is not failing you; it's doing what it’s trained to do. If you're aware of unproductive patterns, retrain your mind. For instance, if you're conditioned to seek sweets after meals, you can consciously reshape that habit. Changing requires fewer repetitions of old patterns while increasing repetitions of new, positive ones—essentially weakening the undesirable habits.Small Steps for Big ChangesEver start a new venture and feel demotivated by initial setbacks? It's a common cycle: try, criticize yourself, and then feel stuck. But by introducing small reps—such as giving yourself grace or acknowledging progress—you interrupt this cycle. The journey to sustainable change involves small, consistent steps rather than drastic actions.Identifying and Breaking Negative PatternsTo make meaningful progress, identify the pattern or habit you wish to change. This involves acknowledging the existing pattern, then gradually incorporating new habits. For example, if nighttime scrolling is a pattern, plan small steps to interrupt and replace it with positive alternatives.Conclusion: Embrace the JourneyIf life feels repetitive, don't question your worth.

Worry doesn’t usually show up as panic.
It shows up as feeling off, distracted, pulled in too many directions.

In this episode, we talk about why worry isn’t a mindset problem — it’s a divided-heart problem — and how to stop carrying weight you were never meant to hold.

This isn’t about trying harder or thinking better.
It’s about reuniting your inner world and coming back to today.

• The Hebrew meaning of worry — and why it feels so heavy

• Why telling yourself “don’t worry” rarely works

• How worry is often misplaced responsibility

• The difference between control and rhythm

• Simple, practical ways to calm your nervous system and refocus your heart

• How faith brings peace without rushing answers

• Shrinking time back to today

• Transferring what isn’t yours to carry

• Regulating the body to calm the mind

• Naming the real fear underneath worry

• Using movement to interrupt mental spirals

• Returning to the idea of “enough grace for today”

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or like your mind is living in the future — this episode is an invitation to put the weight down.
