When the Past Keeps Tripping You Up: Author, Susie Lewis on Fear, Shame, Guilt, and Freedom
Posted in At This Table
Have you ever felt like you were trying so hard to move forward, but something from your past kept tripping you up?
In this episode of At This Table, host Shelly Brown welcomes Susie Lewis, author of The Great Trade: Exchanging Fear, Shame, and Guilt for Freedom, for an honest, hope-filled conversation about hidden pain, healing, and the freedom Jesus offers.
Susie shares how fear, shame, guilt, and childhood dysfunction affected her marriage, motherhood, ministry, and identity. From the outside, she looked like a faithful Christian woman serving in the church and raising her family. But behind closed doors, she was battling anger, remorse, and the painful cycle of promising, “Tomorrow I’ll do better.”
Together, Shelly and Susie talk about the God who sees, the courage it takes to bring hidden pain into the light, and how Jesus invites us to trade ashes for beauty, mourning for joy, and bondage for freedom.
Susie also shares the heart behind the P.A.U.S.E. process in her book, helping readers slow down, process honestly with God, and take practical steps toward healing.
This episode is for the one who loves Jesus but still feels stuck, the one carrying shame in silence, and the one who needs to know it is never too late for freedom.
In this episode with Susie Lewis, we talk about:
- Why Susie would invite Hagar to the table
- How the past can keep us tied up like a three-legged race
- What anger and control can reveal about deeper wounds
- Why triggers can become invitations from God
- The power of bringing secrets into the light
- What it means to make “the great trade” with Jesus
- How P.A.U.S.E. helps readers process with God
- Why it is never too late to ask for help and begin again
