Why You Resist the Very Thing That Could Help You
Today's Scripture: 2 Kings 5:1–14
Why do we resist the very things that could actually help us heal? In today’s episode, Dr. Alison Cook explores the story of Naaman in 2 Kings 5 and the deeply human tendency to reject simple, meaningful steps toward healing. With insight from psychology and identity formation, she unpacks why small, ordinary actions can feel threatening—especially when your sense of self has been built around strength, control, or self-sufficiency. We’ll explore:
*Why we resist change—even when we want it
*How the false self and identity can block healing
*Why simple solutions can feel “too small” for deep pain
*How small, repeated steps become the pathway to real transformation
