There is a time and season for everything. After a painful time of spiritual abuse, betrayals, walking away from things that I loved, and a long season of isolation, God started lifting up the rug in my own life. As I started addressing the root causes of many of my issues, it finally became "a time to heal". We don't have to stay in a place of hurt and pain. After Peter was sifted like wheat, Jesus told him to go back and strengthen the brethren. Use your story, your pain, and your trials as an opportunity to help others heal too.

Ecclesiastes says there is "a time to plant, and A TIME TO UPROOT".

In this episode we shine a light on some of the issues that we experienced within a particular church setting. We share some of the hardships and effects of sitting under what I later recognized as spiritual abuse. At one time we had been "planted" but after all that I had experienced, we could no longer stay, and had no choice but to "uproot" and leave. While it is difficult to share some of these experiences, and our intentions are not to attack or air grievances, we share because we know that it will help free those who have gone through these same kinds of experiences - as others stories I heard through the aftermath helped free me.

Jesus said, "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

"A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing." Ecclesiastes 3:5

In this episode we get honest about our history and experiences in the "church". We are lifting up a rock off the forest floor to peer underneath and examine the good, the bad, and the ugly. It's been a wild ride, and one that caused us to "refrain from embracing".

There' s a time to refrain, and "a time to embrace". After years of running and refusing to commit, God helped me drop my walls and let love in. On this episode, my husband joins me to share the story of how me met, and his heart on a husband's role in marriage.

"A Time To Search" - Ecclesiastes 3:6

Once coming to Christ, everything began to shift. I had a deep desire to learn more about God, which began "a time to search". However, there were people, places, and things that were trying to hold me back...

"There is a time to be born, and a time to die." - Ecc 3:2

The truth is that when we are born, we have no idea what our lives will look like or the paths that we will take, but ultimately in the end, we will all stand before God and give an account for our lives. I ended going down roads that I never thought I would. Death was staring me right in the face... and ultimately led me to my knees. The sweet hand of God pulled me out of darkness and into his beautiful light.

"Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story—those he redeemed from the hand of the foe...

Some sat in darkness, in utter darkness,

prisoners suffering in iron chains,
11 because they rebelled against God’s commands
    and despised the plans of the Most High.
12 So he subjected them to bitter labor;
    they stumbled, and there was no one to help.
13 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
    and he saved them from their distress.
14 He brought them out of darkness, the utter darkness,
    and broke away their chains.

PSALM 107

We don't often think about the significance of our birth. What if God set you apart before you were even born? What if you were born for 'Such a time as this'?
