The Table: When Generational Trauma Meets the Grace of God with Keesha Timmer

Some stories don’t just tug at your heart—they expose the hidden spiritual and emotional battles shaping an entire family line. In this episode, I sit down with my friend Keesha Timmer as she shares her story of foster care, adoption, childhood trauma, religious hurt, rebellion, and ultimately, radical surrender to Jesus. We talk about the wounds that followed her into adulthood, marriage, and motherhood; why forgiveness doesn’t always mean reconciliation; and what it looked like to finally confront what had been passed down through generations instead of passing it on to her own children. Keesha also shares how counseling, EMDR, fasting, prayer, and faith all played a role in her healing—and why one radical yes to God changed everything. We get into religion vs. relationship, legalism, spiritual oppression, boundaries, deliverance, and the way God continued drawing her back even after years of anger and distance. If you’ve ever wondered if your story is too messy, too painful, or too far gone, pull up a chair. This one is for you.
