448: Stop Running from Your Life. Terry Crist Reveals Secrets That Fracture Your Soul, Healing the Orphan Spirit, and the Idolization of Therapy

You’ve been told therapy is the answer to everything. That if you just unpack hard enough, you’ll finally be free. But what if that’s not the full story? This week, Terry Crist joins me to challenge beliefs that cause deeper destruction. He’s seen how long-standing secrets fracture the soul, how the orphan spirit grows in Christian homes, and how many believers never outgrow wounded identity—even into legacy years.

In this conversation, Terry decodes why running away from truth never works, how idolizing therapy can drain godly authority, and why healing is never finished—even if you’ve been in the room for decades. He brings the fight where healing meets holiness—and shows how to refuse lie-lay, stop hiding, and step into belonging. If you’ve ever carried a secret, felt disconnected in the Church, or believed your wounds had an expiry date, you need to hear this episode.

This episode will help you:

• Stop running and confront the secrets fracturing your soul
• Understand and heal the orphan spirit, even in spiritual environments
• Recognize that age doesn’t “outdistance” deep-rooted issues
• Break free from the idolization of therapy and reclaim authority
• Begin the journey from fractured to whole, with spiritual grit
