I am so excited to welcome back a friend to both myself and the podcast, Dr. Michelle Bengtson, a renowned neuropsychologist and author, to discuss her latest book, "Sacred Scars," released today. Michelle shares profound insights into the significance of our emotional and spiritual scars, their purpose, and how they play a crucial role in our healing and faith journey.

Her book, "Sacred Scars" is a powerful exploration of the purpose and healing found in our emotional and spiritual scars. Her insights remind us that our scars are not just remnants of pain but are also testimonies of God's redemptive work in our lives. Tune in to learn more about finding hope and purpose in your scars.

Bio:
Dr. Michelle Bengtson has been a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist for almost 30 years, whose mission it is to restore hope, renew minds, and empower others to live in their God-given identity. She is a multi-award winning author of Hope Prevails: Insights From a Doctor’s Personal Journey Through Depression (https://amzn.to/3BXPqAz), the Hope Prevails Bible Study (https://amzn.to/2K68a7l), Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises (https://amzn.to/2Vvipro), Today Is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises From God to Start Your Day Off Right (https://amzn.to/3twWnXp) and The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out to God When Pain Overwhelms. She is an international speaker, national and international media resource on mental health, coach, podcast host (https://bit.ly/3ef2fvs) of the award-winning podcast, Your Hope Filled Perspective Podcast with Dr. Michelle Bengtson that ranks in the top 2% of podcasts globally. Yet her most fulfilling rolls are as wife of 35 years, and mom to two young adult friends.
This doctor knows pain and despair firsthand and combines her professional expertise and personal experience with her faith to help others be all God created them to be. Using sound practical tools, she affirms worth and encourages faith. Dr. Bengtson offers hope as a key to unlock joy and relief—even in the middle of the storm. Throughout her career as a clinical neuropsychologist, and now as a speaker, author, podcast host, and coach, she encourages others to focus less on their self-esteem and more on how God esteems them by knowing His truths offered in Scripture. She loves offering practical resources to help you grow in your walk with the Lord at DrMichelleB.com. When she isn’t involved in ministry pursuits, you’ll likely find her walking in nature, sitting by a body of water (probably trying to capture God’s glory displayed in sunrises or sunsets through the camera lens), or enjoying a steamy cup of salted caramel mocha coffee with a friend. She loves all things teal, chocolate, or soft and luxurious, although not usually at the same time.
