“Don’t hoard your healing.”
It wasn’t what she expected to hear. But it was exactly what she needed.
Healing and Forgiveness
In this powerful Part 2 episode, Nancy Manassero shares the courageous continuation of her story—how a gentle prompting from God led her to do the unthinkable: forgive the father who had raped her nearly 60 years earlier.
Nancy, author of Heartmending: God Can Heal Your Heartbreak from Sexual Abuse, opens up about her journey through deep trauma into deeper grace. Drawing inspiration from Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, Nancy beautifully illustrates how God’s grace not only restores, but also transforms—turning scars into sacred strength.
In this conversation, we explore:
- The neuroscience of healing and how the brain processes trauma
- The two life-giving truths Nancy anchored herself to as she began to heal
- Why true mending moves from the inside out
- What soul care looks like during a lifelong journey of forgiveness
Healing Multiplies Forgiveness
Nancy’s story is a powerful reminder that healing isn’t meant to be hidden—it’s meant to be shared. And when we do, grace multiplies.
