The God Factor

Hi everyone, 

Welcome welcome welcome back! Yes we are back from our long break and I am thankful for your patience and consistent dedication. In this episode, I interview Lumiere. At the time of this interview, Lumiere was 2 weeks away from graduating with her bachelors degree which was almost a year ago, Yikes! We have been gone for that long. 

I can't imagine the amazing things that Lumiere has been up to since we originally recorded this episode. You can catch up with her on her IG and youtube page which I will be leaving the links to down below. I hope you enjoy the conversation with Lumiere. 

In this episode, we talk about: 

• What led her to surrendering to God;
• How she wanted to end it all because she didn't think she was worthy;
• Her relationship with God through it all;
• His advice for anyone who is seeking to pursue a relationship with God.

As you listen to this episode, I encourage you to share your perspective and if you had any a-ha moment from listening. What part of this conversation with Lumiere resonated with you?

Hi everyone,

Welcome welcome welcome back to the God Factor podcast. What's goody!!!! I know I have been away for a hot minute and that is cause 2021 was a year! I didn't realize it until the end of the year and it was literally one of those where I said, thank God I made it!

I am excited for you to keep on tuning in and listening. My goal really is to make this podcast really chilled as we continue to talk about God in a way that is different. Having people share their experiences on their relationship with this awesome and limitless God. I am excited for all the people that I will be learning from and I hope you are able to learn and connect with as well.
