Navigating life's trials often feels like a solitary journey, but it's during these times that we're called to lean into our faith and trust the path God has laid out for us. My own journey through divorce and the ensuing search for purpose has been a testament to this delicate balance. I open up about the struggles of discerning divine messages from my desires, and the importance of intentional quiet time with God to silence the negative self-talk that can easily spiral out of control. Inspired by the teachings of Isaiah 43:18-19, we examine the courage it takes to leave the past behind and step boldly into the future God's planned for us.

It's my hope that this episode will serve as a reminder to consistently seek out time with Jesus, embracing the peace that comes with surrendering to His divine plan.

When the fabric of our lives is torn by trauma, the journey toward mending can be as daunting as it is necessary. Sarah Bowling and Isabell Bowling, a mother-daughter team and authors of "Road to Wholeness Healing from Trauma," join me to unravel the tangled threads of pain and recovery. Together, we delve into the heart of trauma, sharing personal anecdotes and generational wisdom that shed light on the path to healing. We discuss the importance of acknowledging and confronting our deepest wounds, offering solace to others, and the transformative power of faith in the process. The conversation turns to practical, faith-infused strategies for those seeking to lay their burdens at the feet of Jesus and thereby hanging out with Him for awhile.
