Continuing the discussion on identifying you need to heal through self-examination, today we discuss the T.M.A. check (thoughts, mood, attitude).

How do you know or identify whether you need to heal? In this episode Indiana discusses how self-examination is essential to identifying the brokenness in the four areas of our lives: personal relationships, career, physical health, and spiritual.

Instead of running from healing we should learn to embrace it because the frustration was meant to draw you to God and the purpose He intended for your life.
