This week on Real Talk with Rachael, I'm speaking with one of my mentors, Dr. Linda Hoover. Linda serves as the Executive Dean of Academics at The King’s University. As a licensed psychologist and ordained minister, she has a heart for empowering others to realize their God-given potential and purpose. Linda enjoys sushi dates with her husband, Jared, long walks, and cooking with her grandchildren.

Key Points from Our Conversation:

• If you struggle to receive grace, ask God to allow you to see yourself as He sees you. If you can't absorb grace, it's difficult to be satisfied with who and where you are or reach your potential. 
• Rejoice in the good and give yourself space to make mistakes. 
• When God brings something before us, it's because He knows we're capable of dealing with it. We may not know what we're doing, but we can trust Him to know what He's doing.
• Developing trust in relationships is incremental, even in our relationship with God. You have to trust to trust; risk is required to experience something new.
• We're all on a journey - who do you want your companion to be? Allow the Holy Spirit to walk with you and listen to what He says about you. When we receive Christ, we receive His guidance.
