In this honest episode of Scars & Grace, we’re talking about what happens when your survival skills become your stumbling blocks. You built thicker skin to endure pain… but now it’s keeping love, community, and even spiritual connection at a distance.
🎙️ Let’s explore together:
How one-sided friendships can damage your view of self-worth
What emotional defense mechanisms look like in everyday life
Why thick skin often hardens the heart
How to soften again without falling apart
If you’ve ever felt unseen in your friendships, overlooked in relationships, or disconnected in church — this is your space. You’re not bitter. You’re just guarded. But healing is possible, and God is still reaching for you.
📖 Scripture Highlight:
Proverbs 4:23 — “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
Guarding doesn’t mean walling yourself off from love, truth, or grace.
🕊️ What you’ll walk away with:
Courage to recognize unhealthy patterns
The wisdom to release what's no longer serving you
And the reminder that vulnerability with God is a strength, not a weakness
