The Real Thing Part I

Last week Gina asked her brother what it means to be the real thing. This week she asks somebody thirty years younger. Emma is twenty, studying to be a mental health counselor, subbing at the elementary school and coaching middle school cheer. Her answer starts somewhere Troy's did not: be honest about where you actually are, instead of performing the season you wish you were in. From there they get into the pressure young adults carry to have it all mapped out, why vulnerability is the proof of the thing, and the difference between loving someone and liking them. Gina tells about a part of her testimony she is not proud of and the day the Holy Spirit made her share it with a woman sitting on her couch. Emma has a word for the older women listening about what it feels like when the adults act like they have it all together. Last week is the same question asked thirty years earlier. Scripture in this episode: Psalm 119:105, 2 Corinthians 10:5 with Philippians 4:8, Matthew 28:19-20. If you know a young woman who needs this one, send it to her.
