TPP #171 | Bringing Reality into Perspective with Connie Lemois
Manage episode 453614501 series 3330272
I have the privilege of sharing my friend Connie Lemois today with you. We met a little over a year ago working together with Women Speakers Collective and have become fast friends. After hearing Connie's story I knew you need to hear about how God is so faithful in bringing reality into perspective.
In this conversation, Connie Lemois shares her journey of navigating out of a second-hand faith into something more. She emphasizes the importance of understanding one's own narrative and not letting external influences dictate one's faith. Connie recounts her experiences of God's faithfulness, including a transformative trip to Thailand and the unexpected blessings that followed her prayers. She also discusses the joy of building a new family and how God's love and redemption reshaped her own life.

Reflection Questions
- Connie talked about the narrative, have you understood your own personal narrative and how that can draw you closer to Jesus.
- Is there a space you have become a professional chameleon, maybe you are triggered by something in the past or it is a habit you didn’t know was there.
