Katie shares her journey from marriage and family therapy to discovering the transformative power of inner healing. She explains the concept of the "diamond inside" each person, representing innate value and the image of God, and uses metaphors like a peanut M&M to illustrate how shame and outward appearances can obscure this value.

    Katie delves into her experiences with guiding both believers and non-believers towards understanding their intrinsic worth and the light within them. She emphasizes the importance of seeing through the eyes of Christ to recognize the inherent goodness in others, regardless of their current state or past actions.
