the freedom of letting God be God (with Gabrielle Joy)

hello sweet souls & welcome back to the Alma Y Tierra podcast. today we welcome, yet again, my lovely friend Gabrielle onto the show. (4th time!) yet another spontaneous conversation which, by no coincidence, are always the best and most fruitful. timestamps can be found below:03:11: how do our definitions of religion matter when it comes to our relationship with God and “god”?09:30: what it really means to be born again11:01: how “new age” spirituality and misinterpretations of the Bible and Jesus separate us from the One, True, Living God19:33: the pitfalls of putting yourself in the place of God instead of calling upon Him25:16: the price of your new life is your old one, but suffering alongside our Saviour is not in vain - quite the opposite - it equates to freedom32:32: “I am the vine”: spending time with Jesus is what makes one like Him and helps to let those attachments that no longer serve drip away, not through force or dogma36:10: God’s true, misunderstood character, as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.42:42: how God sees us through the cross. we have to *cross* the same bridge through which He came to save us, in order to get to God. this is where the differentiation between truth andperception arises.Scripture referenced: Psalm 121; Matthew 16:24-26; John 15:5; John 14:6Love, blessings and light,Claudia,
