Overcoming Emotional Hoarding: How to Let Go with Laurie Davies | Ep. 96

What do you do when you discover the disconnect between you and Jesus? If a cluttered or hoarded home mirrors a hoarded heart, how do you address emotional hoarding? Laurie Davies, speaker and author of Emotional Hoarding: Letting Go of the Stuff That Keeps You Stuck, believes we can live free, but cleaning house is hard. Laurie helps us recognize the emotional clutter that keeps us bound and discover how God's grace invites us to let go. In this episode, you'll discover: • How to deal with regret and the shame that often accompanies it • The key question that distinguishes genuine conviction from false guilt • How regret can become an invitation to God's grace and welcome  • The two questions Laurie asks herself when dealing with anger • How the story of Joseph invites us to yield when anger feels easier to grab If regret, anger, bitterness, shame, or false guilt have gotten too cozy in your life, let Laurie's relatability, biblical wisdom, and authentic sense of humor lead the way from emotional hoarding to living free. 💬  Overcome Emotional Hoarding Quotes: "Let God's love go where you don't think it belongs." "If the invitation is to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, then I want to free up every bit of capacity that's in me to love Him that way." "When we look at people the way God sees them, that's when we can tell grace has gotten into us. It's in our inner workings now."   Scriptures Mentioned:  Genesis 4 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/...) - The Story of Cain and Abel Genesis 37-50 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/...) - Joseph's story and waiting in the unfairness Resources Mentioned: 🌿 GIVEAWAY: Enter here (https://emotional-haording-book-givea...) through October 19 for your chance at a free copy of Laurie's book 🌿 Laurie's book (https://lauriedavies.com/) Emotional Hoarding 🌿 Laurie's Five Days of Living Lighter (https://lauriedavies.com/contact/) , FREE 🌿 Daughters First (https://daughtersfirstretreat.com/) Retreat and information 🎶 Laurie's Go-to grace song, Jesus Paid It All (   • Jesus Paid It All  ) by Fernando Ortega Connect with Laurie Davies: Website: LaurieDavies.com (https://lauriedavies.com/) Instagram: @LaurieDaviesAuthor (  / lauriedaviesauthor  )   Related Episodes: Ep. 87 I Don't Have to Hold It All Together with Nichole Suvar (https://jennifersakata.com/i-dont-hav...)
