In this deeply moving episode, Bambi Lynn shares her extraordinary journey through childhood abuse, domestic violence, and unimaginable pain — and how God transformed every wound into a testimony of hope. This conversation is a bold reminder that trauma does not disqualify you; when surrendered to God, it becomes the very place healing and purpose are born.
In this unforgettable episode of Healed. Whole. Called., Wendy sits down with Bambi Lynn — author, life coach, speaker, event planner, and the founder of Healing Through Stories. Bambi’s life is marked by profound resilience, deep faith, and a relentless commitment to helping others turn their trauma into transformation.
Bambi openly shares her story of surviving childhood sexual abuse, growing up with addiction and violence, and spending eight years in a domestic violence marriage. Rather than allowing trauma to define her identity, she explains how God invited her into healing — not by avoiding the pain, but by walking straight through it with Him.
Using vivid metaphors, Bambi describes healing like being in a burn unit: painful, exposing, and necessary. Just as dead skin must be removed for new skin to grow, emotional and spiritual healing requires allowing God to gently scrub away what no longer serves us. God never forces the process, she explains — He waits for our consent to climb onto the potter’s wheel.
Throughout the conversation, Bambi unpacks why many people remain stuck in a victim identity — not because they want to suffer, but because pain becomes familiar. True freedom begins, she says, with forgiving yourself for things that had nothing to do with you. Abuse, neglect, and trauma were never your fault.
Bambi also shares her hands-on healing framework, which includes tangible exercises designed to help people release pain and reclaim meaning. From writing out life events on a “railroad track” to illustrate how good and bad run together, to creating treasure boxes that hold the blessings born from hardship, her approach allows people to grieve honestly while recognizing God’s redemptive work.
Scripture is woven throughout the episode, reminding listeners that valleys are not places of abandonment — they are places of restoration, still waters, nourishment, and preparation. Healing, Bambi emphasizes, is not a one-time event but a lifelong rhythm of valleys and mountaintops — each serving a purpose.
This episode is for anyone who feels defined by their past, exhausted by pain, or unsure if healing is possible. Bambi’s story declares with clarity and compassion: you are not broken beyond repair, your scars can shine, and God is not finished with your story.
