Why do certain hurts from the past keep showing up in the present?
Today we're revisiting one of our most impactful conversations with Marcus Warner, president of Deeper Walk International and author of Understanding the Wounded Heart.
Recorded at our 2025 Hope Together Conference, Marcus shares his personal journey through anxiety, ministry burnout, and emotional healing—and how God revealed wounds from his past that still needed attention.
Together, Haley and Dustin explore how unresolved pain affects our relationships, emotions, and spiritual lives. They discuss why healing is often deeper than we realize, and how prayer can become a powerful pathway to freedom. Marcus also shares his practical R.E.A.L. prayer model, a simple framework for inviting God into painful memories and finding lasting healing.
If you've ever wondered why old wounds still affect you today, or you've found yourself thinking, "I thought I was over that," this conversation will help you take a meaningful step toward healing, restoration, and a deeper walk with God.
Subscribe to the podcast and tune in each week as Haley and Dustin share with you what the Bible says about real-life issues with compassion, warmth, and wit.
So you have every reason for hope, for every challenge in life. Because hope means
everything.
