In our final episode, Katie answers questions from Krystal and Stacy:

·       What is a good place to start in this journey of transformation?

·       How do we identify codependency in our lives?

·       How do we identify burnout in our lives?

·       What are practical ways to grow in self- awareness?

·       What do you love best about Jesus?

As we finish our season let’s face what is real, and the take stewardship of our lives.

In these three episodes, Katie is sharing practical tools for engaging transformation in three key areas of brokenness in our lives: lies believed, wounds received, and sin done.  Katie is joined by Krystal and Stacy, fellow ODR team members, to offer real life examples of engaging these tools for transformation in each of these areas.

Katie shares that finding freedom from sin is not found in sin management.  We are not called to manage our sin.  Rather, we have the opportunity to engage the process of "confess – repent – believe" to pursue freedom from our sin.  All three ladies boldly share about sin from which God has been setting them free. 

Katie confesses that she blamed her husband for all the problems in their marriage and that through confession, God brought about a whole new way to approach marriage.

Stacy confesses the lack of patience she had with her children that led to yelling and how through coming to her end point and confessing to God, He brought about a way to engage support and much needed breaks.

Krystal confesses that she held on to bitterness, finding herself upset when she saw anyone else happy.  Krystal shares that through confessing this bitterness, God brought about contentment in her life. 

These ladies share real life stories of God intervening at the moment of confession and bringing about whole new ways to live with increasing freedom away from those sins.
