S2 Episode 2: Authenticity - The Path to Joy

from Rested & Rooted In Real Life Hosted by Rested & Rooted IRL

Hey there fruitful garden! In this episode, I tell the story about how my relationship with God led me to seminary and later to switch vocations. There are moments in life where we decide who we should be, based on what we have already been exposed to - when who you really are can only be discovered by honoring the voice within. If you have been feeling like a hamster on a wheel going through the motions, you’ll appreciate this one! Here I process: * how listening to people tell me what ministry looked like eventually failed and redirected me instead, * embracing our authentic dreams, needs and desires is key to identity formation &, * addressing the barriers that keep us from experiencing joy. Stay tuned to the end of this episode for bi-weekly affirmations.
