“The same God who created you is the same God who renews your mind.”
Jemese LaChel Drewery, LCSW
Most women live under the illusion that their relationship patterns are just “how things are.” But what if those recurring issues (trust struggles, anger bursts, people-pleasing, over-responsibility) are actually built on hidden blueprints formed long before you had words for them?
Jemese explores the fascinating science behind these invisible scripts—called templates—that shape how you love, trust, and connect, often without you knowing it.
Listen and learn how how childhood experiences embed these mental blueprints and why they keep you circling the same relational mountain, feeling stuck and overwhelmed.
In This Episode:
- Learn what “templates” are and how they shape relationships
- Understand how childhood experiences form lifelong patterns
- See why recurring conflict, people-pleasing, and over-functioning keep showing up
- Discover how trauma and attachment affect trust, safety, and love
- Learn how to identify the hidden beliefs driving your reactions
- Get practical, biblical steps to replace unhealthy patterns with truth
- Understand how Jesus renews the mind and brings real freedom
The Simple 3-Step PROCESS for Changing your templates:
- Identify the template
- Identify where it came from
- Give it to God and let Him correct it
Scripture Highlight:
Romans 12:2
Psalm 147:3
Psalm 34:18
Psalm 91
Song of Solomon
Takeaway:
Your repeated relationship struggles are not proof that something is wrong with you. They’re often old patterns formed early in life, and Jesus can renew your mind, heal those wounds, and help you build healthier relationships.
Reflection Question:
What pattern in my relationships keeps repeating, and what might it be revealing the beliefs I learned long ago?
