Courage to Hurt & Heal
Pain has a way of writing stories about us—stories that aren't true but feel impossible to escape. And sometimes, faith communities accidentally teach us to bury those stories instead of heal them. Courage to Hurt & Heal is where hosts Vicki Diemert and Dave Shrein bring honest conversations about the wounds we carry and the healing that's actually available. Vicki brings her experience as a Biblical counselor and story work facilitator, offering practical tools for naming what hurts and rewriting the narratives that have kept you stuck. Together, they explore how faith becomes a genuine source of healing rather than a way to rush past pain. This podcast delivers wisdom for ordinary life—not just crisis moments—because healing isn't reserved for rock bottom. It's available now.

Vicki and Dave talk strategy:
- Why having an exit plan might actually help you stay longer
- How to interrupt a conversation that's going sideways without making it weird
- What to do when someone...
