Ever struggled with surrendering control to God? We dive into the challenge of fully trusting God with every aspect of life, exploring the biblical story of the Israelites at the Red Sea to illustrate how God's power and sovereignty often work in indirect ways. Learn how accepting God's process and truly resting in His plan is essential for your spiritual growth and emotional well-being.

In this episode, join me, Kelley Johnson, along with my incredible guests Vonna Matthews and Aspen Hazel, as we unpack the transformative power of rest on a spiritual, physical, and mental levels. We share personal stories and therapy-informed insights that emphasize rest is not just an absence of activity but a vital component of  well-being. Discover how integrating regular rest—through sleep, quiet time, or prayer—can help reset and recalibrate your mind and body, reinforcing that rest should be a daily practice for holistic health and spiritual alignment.

Generational trauma and attachment issues can deeply affect our perception of God. In a heartfelt discussion, we explore how parental shortcomings shape our trust in God's plans and how cultural influences, particularly within the Black community, impact our understanding of emotional support and therapy. Through personal experiences and reflections, we highlight the importance of appreciating God's multifaceted nature, from His grand acts of power to His tender, patient love.

Conclude your journey with us by embracing a 21-day devotional prayer and journaling guide designed to deepen your spiritual flow and enhance your intimacy with God.
