What Is Inner Healing Prayer and Why Do We Need It?
Hi there, Pastor Lisa here — When I sat down to write this blog, I felt torn. Part of me wanted to avoid anything too heavy — after all, who wants to read about hard things?
But, another part of me knew I couldn’t write about inner healing prayer without first being honest about the pain so many are experiencing. Here’s the truth: as a nation, we’re struggling. Spiritually. Emotionally. Relationally.
Even if you’re doing okay right now, I bet you know someone who isn’t. Someone walking through a dark season. Someone hurting. If you’re unsure, just glance at the headlines; our world is filled with stories of trauma and pain.
I believe God’s heart is to meet us right in the middle of that reality. And that’s why I’m passionate about inner healing prayer.
Integrating Physical Well-being for Growth and Healing
To the person who feels fragmented, like your body, mind, soul, and spirit are running different races, this is for you.
My journey with my marathon training has been a powerful, physical reminder of all the commitments I've made on a deeper level. The last eight months have been a testament to both the beauty and the struggle of pressing forward, even when everything feels like it’s going wrong.
I recently hit my peak run: 12 miles, followed by a 1.45-mile walk, leaving me with just two weeks to taper and rest before my first half marathon race this upcoming Sunday. That peak run was a beautiful mess.
Powerful Small Groups – Committed Communities for Connection in Healing
Community… what is it, really? We’ve all heard slogans like “Better Together,” “Together Apart — Staying Smart,” and “Strong Minds — Strong Communities.” While catchy, I often wondered: have these phrases truly drawn us closer, or have they left us feeling even more disconnected, especially in this day and age of 24/7 social media that is supposed to keep us “more connected”?
As a pastor for the last 15 years, I’ve found myself longing for something deeper — something authentic, genuine, and lasting when it comes to cultivating true connection with others. Slogans can sound nice, but what if there’s something more?
What if we could experience a community that doesn’t just keep us busy with activities, but actually heals the heart, renews the mind, and creates real connection that leads to healthier, thriving lives?
Healing Holistically: An Invitation to Experience an IRB-Approved Trauma-Focused Group Therapy Study for College Students
To the college students who feel a quiet yearning for more healing integrating your Christian faith — this is for you.
Have you ever felt caught between the demands of your academic life and the deep stirrings of your soul? Maybe you’re navigating the pressure to “have it all together” while carrying a heaviness from your past. You’ve explored traditional therapy, found solace in spiritual practices, or sought wisdom from both. Yet, you still feel a bit fragmented, as if who you are in your mind, heart, spirit are being treated as separate parts.
This is an invitation to join an IRB-approved experimental clinical research study and become part of a group community where you can pursue healing and wholeness together.
Post-traumatic Fragmentation to Holistic Integration: Emma Rose’s Journey
Have you ever wondered how your deepest wounds could ever truly heal? Or questioned whether your relational patterns could ever actually change? Maybe you’ve felt caught between spiritual strength and emotional exhaustion—wanting to live with purpose and presence, but weighed down by the heartache of loss or just the daily stresses of life.
If so, you’re not alone. That tension — between faith and fragility, between calling and capacity — has defined much of my journey. And it’s what led to my part of the birth of Integrate You.

Hello dear reader! Thank you for taking a moment to journey with me on this blog. I’ve never done something quite like this for social media, but I sensed it was time to open up and share more about my part of the story behind Integrate You.
Let the Integrate You Journey Begin!
Do you ever feel a quiet yearning for more integration in your journey toward well-being? Perhaps you've explored traditional therapy, found solace in spiritual practices, or sought guidance on your path from both. Yet, something still feels missing. A sense that who you are in your soul — heart, mind, body, and spirit — are being treated as separate parts, when in reality, they crave holistic care that intricately weaves it all together with your faith, into the wholeness of who you are.
At Integrate You, we understand that yearning. We believe that lasting healing, well-being, and flourishing emerge when we honor and intentionally connect human knowledge of evidence-based practices and insights from the behavioral sciences with the depths of divine wisdom facilitated by spiritual direction.
