Manage episode 408891861 series 3417828
Have you ever felt like you're trudging through quicksand on your spiritual path, with every step forward met with a force that relentlessly tries to pull you back? I know I have, and in a moment of raw transparency, I've bared my soul about my recent battles with slothfulness and spiritual warfare. It's a no-holds-barred confession that takes you through the valleys of my ministerial journey, highlighting the moment of clarity that struck during a church service—igniting a renewed commitment to my calling. Joined by the insightful Sister Deb Osbrun, we share our vulnerabilities and the power of self-forgiveness, shedding light on the necessity to keep our inner flame burning brightly to guide and uplift those around us.
The struggle is real, and it's not just about us. Our testimonies weave through the tapestry of spiritual battles—those internal skirmishes that can cast long shadows over our hearts. But there's hope, as we discuss the life-changing transformation that repentance and an unyielding faith can bring. Sister Deb and I plunge into the depths of our experiences with sin, redemption, and confronting the fear of death, all to underscore the immediate need to embrace God's grace. Through the lens of Matthew 5:14, we underscore our role as bearers of light in a dim world, and how every step we take in faith is a testament to the glory and love of God.
