When did you first encounter God?

Hey, Welcome to the Becoming H.E.R. Podcast. I’m your host, Ky’Ondra Lashon, and I’m so happy you are here.For this first episode, I felt led to start by sharing my story. The moment I truly encountered Jesus.Now, I have always believed in God, but it was just three years ago that I became a devoted follower of Him. That does not mean I am perfect or that I always get it right. It means I made a decision to spend the rest of my life being in relationship with God and allowing the Holy Spirit to transform me until I do.When I think back to that time, I remember I was not in the best place. I met Jesus in the middle of my brokenness, my grief, and my depression. I met Him at a time when I did not even know if I wanted to continue living.But He met me there.He gave me life, and He poured His love on me. A love I could not even imagine. A love I did not even know I deserved.And I wonder if you can relate.Maybe God met you in a valley. Maybe He met you in a dark season. If that is you, I want you to take a moment and remember where you were… and more importantly, remember how He brought you through.What once felt like a desolate place became just a season. And in that season, you realized there is hope found in Jesus Christ.Or, maybe you still in that season. I want you to know that God will meet you where you are. He is with you, His word promises that He will never leave or forsake you. I pray that you run into His arms. The three key takeaways I would love for you to take from today’s episode are:Remember the state you were in when Jesus found you. Let that stir your heart with gratitude and thanksgiving. Accept His love.Allow His love and His Spirit to transform you to look more like Him. Dwell in His love. Sit in it. Let it change you.Share that same love with others. Let’s leave here being the hands and feet of Jesus.Please meet me here every Tuesday at 8:00 PM for new episodes of Becoming H.E.R.And who is H.E.R???
