Everyone Has a Betty – Healing Bible Study Journal

Meet Betty. You know her — arms crossed, eyes rolling, always whispering “you’ll never change.”

This journal helps you finally tell her to hush.

Offence doesn’t always shout. Sometimes it stomps off and says, “I’m fine.”

This story-driven journal helps you deal with the voices that never really left.

What if the story you're living isn't the one you were meant to carry?

Some wounds don’t scream. They simmer.

They show up in the way we avoid certain people. Or how we rehearse what we should have said. Or the silent pressure to keep peace at the cost of our own.

Sometimes, we don’t even realize we’ve been carrying offence. Or resentment. Or shame. We just know we’re tired. Heavier than we used to be. And somewhere along the line, a voice moved in — one that sounds an awful lot like someone from our past.

We call her Betty.

Not a real person (though she might remind you of someone). Betty is the voice of criticism, fear, and emotional baggage that refuses to go quietly. She’s the leftover commentary of every wound that wasn’t healed, every word that wasn’t forgiven, every hurt we thought we buried.

But what if you could finally tell her to pack up and go?

A Healing Bible Study Journal for the Wounded and Wondering

It’s a healing Bible study journal — designed for those carrying silent hurt, offense, and emotional weight that hasn’t yet had a place to land.

This isn’t a workbook filled with blanks to check off. It’s a guided, story-rich journey — led by Eliah, the older garden-keeper you may have met in The Whisper in the Garden. Now, he’s navigating the harder places: the places where offence takes root and forgiveness feels out of reach.

Each of the 25 lessons weaves together:

• A narrative that feels real — sometimes painful, sometimes hilarious

• Reflection questions designed to help you go deeper

• Journaling space to write what you couldn’t say out loud

• Prayer prompts rooted in scripture and restoration

This is for anyone who’s been hurt and didn’t know what to do with it. Anyone who’s smiled on the outside and crumbled on the inside.Anyone who wonders if healing is even possible — and what life might feel like without Betty in the driver’s seat.

You’re Not Too Late to Start Over

This isn’t about pretending it didn’t happen. It’s about finally letting it go — with truth, with Jesus, and with a little bit of gentle humour to lighten the process.

Whether you go through it alone or invite someone to join you, this journal was made to be lived in. Scribbled in. Prayed over. Wept over, maybe. And through it all, gently led back to the truth of who you really are.

The voice of healing is quieter than you think. But it’s stronger than the one that’s been lying to you.
