Healing Out Loud: How to Embrace God’s Love When You Don’t Like Yourself

In this unique look at a one-year journey through counseling told from both sides of the couch, Sandi Brown–the founder of St. Louis’s largest Christian radio ministry, JOY FM–and her counselor, Dr. Michelle Caulk, walk through Sandi’s therapy journey, answering the question, What do I do when I know God loves me, but I don’t like myself?

Shame, embarrassment, negativity. The struggle to love ourselves as the joyfully-made women we are has never been more difficult. When Sandi began her journey towards healing and freedom, she thought she was alone in her struggles. By working with Michelle, the two found that scores of women experience a disconnect between how they see themselves and God’s image.

Healing Out Loud captures many of the insecurities the modern woman faces in her walk with Christ. Written in conversational prose, Brown and Caulk’s combined voice creates an accessible path for readers to face their vulnerabilities with biblical insight. In these pages you’ll find:
