Be the Bridge Podcast with Latasha Morrison

257 - Living at Peace and Accessing the Presence of God with Pastor, Leader, Author Jeanne Stevens


Listen Later

There has been a tremendous amount of personal and collective grief over the past couple of years. Navigating it all has been hard. And for those in positions of leadership, it’s been all the more burdensome. So how do we pay attention to the past, look ahead to the future, but live and do the work in this moment? How do we process and grow into all the grief? Author and speaker, pastor, and leader Jeanne Stevens shares beautiful wisdom with the Be the Bridge community about the difference in blame, shame, and guilt and the need to live at peace with God with ourselves so that we can live at peace with others. She and Latasha Morrison talk about the importance of accessing the presence of God. And they discuss what is helpful and unhelpful in the grieving process. This grace filled conversation will help you embrace change, appreciate losses, and remember that you are not alone.

Quotes:

“The scriptures say that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, which is our hope that we can lean on. But the only place where we can experience God is in the present.” -Jeanne Stevens

“What we cannot face, we cannot change”. -Jeanne Stevens

“We cannot experience the peace of God if we don't know how to access the presence of God.

And the presence of God is always the here and the now.” -Jeanne Stevens

“On the other side, there can be joy again. On the other side, there will be hope again.” -Latasha Morrison
