Why do I think it is so important to understand creation, who God is, and where we came from?Because it put us in our place- humble, fearing, loving the Lord. Did God get so much bigger as you listened to this episode? I hope He created all things out of nothing, He is the Word, Jesus is God and the devil is no match for Him, we were intentionally knit in our mother’s womb, and no matter what, He is sovereign.
Probably one of the most confusing and biggest hangups about God after leaving the LDS church- The Trinity.
We saw pictures as little kids with a gray-haired, old Heavenly Father next to a strapping, (very caucasian) Jesus. We were made in His image, correct? God is a man, correct?
If you are struggling with this, know you are not alone. The trinity has caused debate since the early church- circa 300 AD.
Today we are going to break this all down in the simplest terms from the direction of the early church fathers and the bible.
Today’s Question:
What exactly is the Trinity?
What is translation, what is transmission and what version of the Bible should I read?
I had to trust that what I was reading was indeed translated correctly, was truly God’s word, and was what God intended me to hear.
Today we are going to go over…
What Translation of the Bible should I read and 3 Steps to Finding the Perfect Bible Translation for YOU.
Have you felt the tug of depression? Statistically, one in six women in the United States is on an anti-depressant. Not good odds. And all the self-help stuff often has only temporary relief, if not lasting negative effects. It becomes negative because the focus of all self-help goes back to one, solitary problem- ourselves. It always relies on us tapping into this strength we have somewhere inside us and suddenly snapping out of it. Then, when we can’t find this strength or it doesn’t last we are left feeling more deficient, more lost, less equipped, and more broken. Ladies, It takes a true mind-shift to gain mental peace and that can’t be found in self-help books, the latest motivational trend, or even within our strength. This mind shift happens when the most amazing moment comes and you realize you were never meant to be the strong one. In fact, you were meant to surrender. His will is strong enough to move mountains. All we have to do is give it to Him.
The guest we have on the show today has focused all her work in Christ to make that mind shift. Lauren Roskilly is a woman who has walked through the fire, been in the depths of depression and illness and has risen above on His strength. With a renewed sense of purpose, she now lives in His purpose taking direction from God alone on where to serve. Lauren is a mum of two beautiful children. She has a BA Hons in Health and social care and also a diploma in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She is the author of the book, ‘Christian-based Cognitive Behavioral therapy’, a Christian Life Coach, she helps people to recognize and overcome limiting beliefs & negative mindsets and help them to discover and step into their God-given purpose.
his episode spoke volumes to me and willing to be it will for you also.
Are you worried that your prayers will always go unheard? How do we talk to God in an honest and authentic way and how do we get answers?
Well first off, God is not going to give us a yes to stupid questions. So don’t ask Him things like, “God, please make this crazy, blaspheming thing true so I can join the club and be happy.” I say this from experience, He is not going to say okay.
But in today’s episode, we are going to be talking about the number one way to hear from God and how you can know God is listening.
Spoiler- It’s not in the heeps of blessings. It all has to do with the peace in the storm.
Yes, there is definitely some relief too. You are free in so many ways, but you just made the decision to abandon everything you ever knew about God or religion, in one failed swoop. This is big stuff and now you are starting this faith journey from scratch, but with some baggage.
Today, we are talking about the 5 W’s of who you are now as an exmo and the 2 Big questions to ask yourself to help guide you on your journey of faith.
Who are you, what do you want most, what words do we need to redefine, what are your biggest worries, and if you could wave a magic wand what would you wish for?
Today is all about discovering who you are now that you left the LDS church and taking you from lost and confused to a life with Jesus.
