43. If You Feel Nothing, This Episode Is For You
13 Jan 2026
00:26:59
This is The Energy to Heal, your resource for all things Splankna, the faith-based inner healing modality that will help you achieve emotional freedom. In this episode, Laura Milliken addresses one of the most misunderstood and widespread issues in both Christian and clinical spaces: emotional numbness.
Many people aren't anxious anymore. They aren't sad. They aren't joyful. They aren't deeply connected. They are simply… functioning.
In this episode, Laura explains why emotional numbness is not spiritual maturity, personality, or "peace." It is a nervous system survival state that develops when emotion has felt unsafe for too long. She breaks down how numbness forms, why so many high-functioning Christians live in it without realizing it, and why you cannot think, pray, or discipline your way back into feeling.
This conversation reframes numbness through both neuroscience and faith—showing how God designed the body to protect, and how that same design also allows the body to heal. Laura also walks listeners through a simple 5–10 minute at-home nervous system practice to begin restoring safety and emotional awareness when guided care like Splankna isn't immediately available.
This episode is for anyone who loves God, loves their family, and yet feels disconnected, flat, or emotionally offline.
🎧 In This Episode, You'll Learn:
Why emotional numbness is a physiological survival response, not a mindset or faith problem
How chronic stress, emotional suppression, and long-term responsibility lead the nervous system to shut down
Why many Christians feel "fine" but not fully alive
How numbness affects marriage, parenting, intimacy, and spiritual connection
Why insight, Bible study, and willpower alone cannot resolve nervous system shutdown
What actually restores emotion: safety, regulation, and gentle nervous system healing
How Splankna works with the body to remove what made emotions shut down
🌱 How Splankna Supports Emotional Healing
Splankna is a faith-based, nervous-system-informed modality that works with how emotional memories are stored in the body. Instead of forcing emotion or reliving trauma, Splankna focuses on helping the nervous system regulate, resolve stored emotional stress, and update the body's emotional memory so that shutdown, triggers, and numbness no longer run the system.

39. If Christianity Feels Heavy, You Might Be Living the Wrong Gospel
16 Dec 2025
00:43:19
This is The Energy to Heal, your resource for all things Splankna, the faith-based inner healing modality that will help you achieve emotional freedom. In this episode, Laura Milliken unpacks one of the most subtle but destructive belief systems in modern Christianity: the performance-based gospel.
Laura explains how many believers unknowingly relate to God as employees instead of sons and daughters—striving, proving, and exhausting themselves in an attempt to earn intimacy that was already given. Through the lens of Splankna, identity work, and Scripture, she reveals how this mindset leads to emotional burnout, anxiety, shame, and spiritual disconnection.
This episode invites listeners to confront false beliefs about grace, surrender self-sufficiency, and rediscover what it means to live from Christ instead of for Christ. Laura walks through how understanding your identity in Christ is foundational for emotional freedom, inner healing, and lasting transformation. If you've ever felt spiritually tired, pressured to "do more," or afraid you're not measuring up—this conversation is for you.
✨ Key Takeaways
A performance-based gospel leads to spiritual burnout and emotional exhaustion
Many Christians confuse spiritual disciplines with spiritual worth
Grace is not permission—it is empowerment
Emotional freedom begins with understanding your identity in Christ
Your spiritual life was never meant to be fueled by effort, but by intimacy
Surrendering to grace requires letting go of control and outcomes
Sonship produces rest, confidence, and security—not anxiety
Your identity in Christ is unchanging, even when your behavior fluctuates
Living in grace exposes perfectionism and self-sufficiency
The journey of learning grace is ongoing and deeply liberating
🔊 Memorable Sound Bites

"Grace feels like sonship."
"Jesus didn't save you to impress Him."

This is The Energy to Heal, your resource for all things Splankna—the faith-based inner healing modality that helps you achieve emotional freedom. In this episode, Laura Milliken unpacks the different kinds of subconscious agreements people make during moments of trauma, and how those agreements can deeply shape our emotions, identity, and spiritual health. She explores the six main types of agreements within the Splankna protocol—ownership, program, power, transfer, assault, and counter agreements—and explains how each one can block healing. Laura offers biblical insight into how to break these agreements, reclaim authority in Christ, and experience emotional and spiritual restoration.
💡 Key Takeaways:

Trauma often leads to subconscious agreements that block healing.

Spiritual warfare plays a vital role in trauma recovery.
Ownership agreements can produce isolation and loneliness.
Program agreements fuel recurring negative emotions or patterns.
