Escaping the Trap of Unprocessed Pain

November 11, 2025 By Fresh Hope For Mental Health Leave a Comment


This week, Pastor Brad sits down with his long-time friend, Jimmy George, the Executive Director of Fresh Start Omaha!

For years, Jimmy served as a pastor at Relevant Church, and now he is dedicated to seeing people set free from the debilitating effects of offense, hurt, and loss.

In this powerful conversation, Jimmy explains the dangerous, subtle ways that unprocessed pain holds us captive. He describes how old wounds can manifest as:

  • A self-focused life.

  • A victimhood mentality.

  • Patterns of self-sabotage.

  • Negative thoughts and rumination.

  • False identities built out of past experiences.

This episode offers a clear look at the common traps of unhealed pain and shows you the path to forgiveness and the freedom that Jesus intended for you. Don’t miss this practical, hope-filled discussion!


Guest Resource: Fresh Start Omaha exists to help people process their pain and pursue freedom through forgiveness. They offer one-on-one meetings, groups, and classes.
