A Theological Theory of Healing | Fr John Burns

Healing isn’t about leaving the past behind. It’s about allowing Christ to restore your heart so you can live with greater peace, freedom, and joy. In this speaker series talk, Fr. John Burns explains what authentic Christian healing looks like. Drawing from Scripture and his own experience, he shows how healing is about growing closer to Christ and living with greater freedom. Through this discussion, you’ll discover: - How past wounds shape your thoughts, choices, and relationships - Why healing and holiness go hand-in-hand - How Jesus brings truth and freedom into the painful parts of our lives God doesn't want us to just manage our pain. He wants to heal us and help us become the people He created us to be. 0:00:00 Introduction & The Need for Healing 0:06:43 Creation as a Divine Song 0:13:51 Misunderstandings About Healing 0:22:37 A Theological Definition of Healing 0:27:54 The Wounded Human Person 0:40:24 Wounds, Lies, and Spiritual Bondage 0:50:13 Lies, Judgments, Vows, and Freedom 0:59:12 The Restoration of the Song ✨ Get the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible for FREE ➡️ https://stpaulcenter.com/memberships ___ Other ways to grow with the St. Paul Center: ⛪️ If you're a Priest looking to attend one of our annual Priest Conferences: https://stpaulcenter.co/priestconferences 📖 Start a Bible study with the St. Paul Center: https://stpaulcenter.co/biblestudies ✈️ Go on a pilgrimage with us: https://stpaulcenter.co/pilgrimages 🛒 Browse our bookstore: https://stpaulcenter.co/emmausroadpublishing 🔥 Support our mission: https://stpaulcenter.co/donate ___ Follow the St. Paul Center on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stpaulcenter?igsh=anloZXB4dDdjcHI1&utm_source=qr Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/177cb1WMS5/?mibextid=wwXIfr X/Twitter: https://x.com/saintpaulcenter?s=21&t=8_4yim_uMnTcaKXDbGGuVQ #stpaulcenter #speakerseries #frjohnburns #healing #catholic
