72. The Roots of Bitterness: What to Uproot and What to Plant

You’ve left the fire. You’ve survived the abuse. But now something deeper is trying to take root.

In this episode of the POWER After DV podcast, we’re talking about bitterness—how it grows, what it costs us, and how God calls us to uproot it and replace it with His truth.

Whether you’re navigating the aftermath of divorce, custody battles, or a season of grief and betrayal, bitterness may be quietly growing underneath the surface. But you don’t have to let it.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

What bitterness really is—and how it starts with real pain
Why it’s dangerous to your healing and your relationships
How to identify it, uproot it, and plant something better

Key Scriptures:

Hebrews 12:15
Ephesians 4:31–32
Matthew 6:14–15
Isaiah 61:3
Psalm 139:23–24
Genesis 50:20
Romans 12:19
Philippians 4:7
Lamentations 3:19–23

This is for every woman who says, “I thought I was done hurting, but it still lingers.” God sees what’s beneath the surface, and He’s ready to heal it.
