Stories: Letting Go of Shame and Living for the Lord

In this episode, Bink and Garrett bring on very special guest Chris Baxter aka Bink's mom. Chris was an elite swimmer all the way through college (going to Olympic Trials twice) so they begin by asking which athlete she looked up to most as a kid. They then switch gears to discuss the Enneagram and how its a beneficial tool in understanding human behavior. Chris then dives into her story where she talks about how she was burned as a child and how the scars filled her with a lie of shame. She discusses how her dream of being an Olympic swimmer evolved and how that dream was eventually crushed. She felt lost and broken, and cried out to God asking Him to bless her to show Him that she could handle a blessing. She talks about how God transformed her heart into desiring to change the world for His kingdom, which started by loving her husband and children with Christ like love. She finishes by sharing how her passion for Christian writing started and how she has obeyed God through the ups and downs of running down that path. She also announces the release of her new book: 40 Day Journey of Prayer!
