In this episode, I sit down with Joel Morgan, author of Breaking the Chains of the Emotional Void Syndrome. Joel shares his powerful personal journey growing up without his father in Ghana and how that absence shaped his emotional struggles. He unpacks "Emotional Void Syndrome" — an invisible yet heavy spiritual and emotional brokenness affecting countless people, even within the church. 

We explore healing through acknowledgment, forgiveness, and inviting God into our pain. Joel also challenges the church to create safer spaces for healing.
