Rock Solid Families Podcast  EP236: Life Transformation - Sharing Our StoriesMerrill and Linda Hutchison“The idea of going through the transformation oftentimes means you're going to go through a difficult time. And if you right now are in a difficult time, rather than looking for quick fixes, just start your talk with God,” explains co-host Merrill Hutchinson. Transformation is often uncomfortable and it definitely is not easy, but it can open your life to possibilities you never would have imagined for yourself. Today co-hosts Linda and Merrill Hutchinson discuss the power of life transformation through sharing their own personal experiences with being guided through the transformation process by putting their faith in God. One of the most difficult times in Merrill and Linda’s lives was when they were facing Merrill’s struggle with an anxiety disorder. It had gotten to the point where he was questioning his faith and questioning why they were even going to Church. He was having frequent panic attacks and closing himself off, and Linda did not know how to help him alongside her own challenges of being a new mom. They found themselves at a new Church, seeking guidance and knowing that in order for transformation to occur, they needed to change their approach. Even though this period of time was difficult for Merrill and Linda, it was also an incredible opportunity for transformation that ultimately led them to the beautiful relationship they have with God. Instead of reaching for quick fixes like self-medicating, open yourself up to the immeasurable power of God’s love. Transformation is not an overnight fix and in fact is a lifelong journey. When you embrace this journey together with God, you will begin to see a beautiful transformation take place as God opens the doors to the life that He desires for you.Quotes“The idea of going through the transformation oftentimes means you're going to go through a difficult time.
