Manage episode 440512337 series 3330272
Have you spent years making sure the buried secrets of your life stay buried? We are thrilled to collaborate again with The Baton Pass as they head into their Fall Event season called Brave Enough. If you haven’t heard about The Baton Pass before they exist to:
EMPOWER OVERCOMERS TO SHARE THEIR STORIES IN A POWERFUL WAY THAT BRINGS HOPE, HEALING, AND RADICAL RESTORATION.
This mission connects to what The Parable Podcast is all about and for the past few years I have hosted some of their events, am on their Leadership team, and seen the impact of what is happening in the hearts of so many women. Joining me today is one of their Arizona team members Amanda Bates who shares about what happens when buried secrets come to the surface. You are not going to want the miss the hope that came to fruition out of what we feel is the messy.
Sound Bites
- "God whispered so tenderly to my heart, I am Elroi. And I was like, oh gosh, okay, I am Elroi. Elroi, the God who sees me."
- "Healing is uprooting the weeds in our lives to keep us from the beauty that God has in our story."
- "In our lowest moments, God sees us. That was sobering for me. God saw my pain. He saw my cries and he was never unaware of anything that I was going through."
- "God mended a lot of different relationships because my prayer after everything exploded was God, mend the relationships that need to be mended.
Reflection Questions
1. What have you lost in the past,(job, relationship, family, church) that you can now be grateful it happened.
2. In your heart of hearts, what have you buried that you don’t want anyone to know? Isolation is Satan’s greatest tactic and so the first step in speaking it out.
