What does it mean to live with an emotionally healthy heart?

In this final episode of Season 5 of the Linc Sisterhood Podcast, Tes Jahnig continues the heartfelt conversation with counsellor, speaker, and author Madz Deyzel - diving even deeper into the connection between our emotions and our faith.

Together, they explore the process of emotional healing through the lens of Scripture and brain science, unpacking the danger of suppressed emotions, the power of truthful processing, and how to bring our whole selves - messy, complex, and beloved - before God. You’ll learn about the five steps Jesus modeled in Gethsemane, how to break the cycle of shame and cover-up, and why your emotions are not your identity but a compass toward healing.

From bitterness and unforgiveness to regret and resilience, this episode is packed with spiritual insight, practical tools, and the grace-filled reminder that your heart is not too much for God.

In this powerful message from the Awakening Conference 2024, we're reminded of the importance of spiritual sight and discernment in our walk with God. The central theme revolves around the idea of 'night vision' - our ability to perceive and navigate through spiritual darkness with God's guidance. Drawing from Exodus 13:21, we're shown how God provides a 'cloud by day and fire by night' to lead us. We can advance in both seasons of light and darkness in our lives - challenging times are not setbacks, but opportunities to dig deeper wells of faith. We're called to be 'people of light' with spiritual night vision.

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the transformative power of God's love and the beauty He can create in the most barren places of our lives. The central theme revolves around Isaiah 35, which paints a vivid picture of deserts blooming and wastelands rejoicing. This scripture isn't just about physical transformation, but speaks to the spiritual renewal God brings to our hearts. We're encouraged to see our past hurts and 'labels' not as permanent scars, but as fertile ground for God's miraculous work. Just as flowers can grow from rocks in harsh landscapes, God can bring forth beauty and purpose from our hardest experiences. This message challenges us to reexamine the labels we've placed on ourselves and instead embrace the identity God has given us - loved and chosen.

In our journey of faith, we often encounter trials that test our resilience and trust in God. This powerful message reminds us that even in the midst of fiery trials, God's presence remains our ultimate refuge. Psalm 3:3-4, reminds us how God shields us, grounds our feet, and lifts our heads high. As we navigate life's storms, we're reminded that maintaining a pure heart is the true prize of enduring trials. This message challenges us to protect our spiritual borders, tend to our 'fences' in times of peace, and look for God's wonder even in our darkest moments. It's a call to move beyond self-preservation and into a deeper trust in God's sovereignty, reminding us that the safest place on earth is where God positions us, even if it's uncomfortable.

We pray this message from Awakening Conference 2024 will stir your spirit and move you into all that God has for you.
