Rethinking Faith

Learning to Be - With Juanita Rasmus


Listen Later

This week we were joined by Juanita Campbell Rasmus to help us (re)think how to BE. 

"It felt as though every nerve in my body was popping. Imagine large strong hands slowly applying pressure while breaking a family-size package of uncooked, dry spaghetti. I was the spaghetti. Breaking down one piece at a time." 

This is how Juanita begins the wise, frank, and witty account of what she later called "The Crash" and what her counselor labeled "a major depressive episode." This experience landed Juanita, a busy pastor, mother, and community leader, in bed. In addition to exhaustion and depression, on the spiritual front she experienced a dark night of the soul. When everything in her life finally came to a stop, she found that she had to learn to be―with herself and with God―all over again.

This was a wonderful conversation filled with spiritual wisdom and guidance. Enjoy!
