🎙️ Episode 10 – I Can’t Fix Them: Making Peace with Someone Else’s Journey Follow-up to Episode 9: Free Will vs. Expectations What happens when the person you’ve been hoping for… praying for… waiting on… just doesn’t change? In this follow-up to Episode 9, we’re going deeper — into the quiet grief of realizing that someone else’s journey may never lead to healing. This isn’t about bitterness. It’s about wisdom. It’s about learning to release what was never yours to carry — and finally reclaim your peace. In this episode, we explore: Why heartbreak lingers even when no one “did” anything wrong What scripture says about letting go and trusting God with the outcome How to hold people lightly, not tightly — even when you love them Why it hurts to let go… and why it’s still the right choice Scriptures referenced: Galatians 6:5 · Proverbs 4:23 · Proverbs 3:5–6 · Isaiah 26:3 · Ruth 3 · Job 2 📝 Journal Prompt: Who am I trying to carry emotionally — and why do I feel responsible for their growth? What would it look like to hold them lightly, not tightly?
