En este episodio de "Dios es una fuente de amor", tenemos a Elda desde Panamá, quien comparte su historia sobre cómo ella y su esposo se involucraron con una iglesia en su vida adulta, convirtiéndose eventualmente en su vida entera. A lo largo de su vida, un ancla constante para Elda ha sido el amor incondicional de Dios; incluso en un ambiente eclesiástico donde se imponían condiciones al amor de Dios, ella se mantenía anclada en ese amor incondicional.

Elda y su esposo tuvieron un hogar de reuniones en la iglesia 2x2 durante muchos años, creando un espacio dentro de su hogar donde todos eran bienvenidos. Elda comparte diferentes momentos de revelación ("aha moments") a medida que pasa de estar totalmente entregada a la iglesia a darse cuenta del daño causado por los predicadores en el poder.

¡No te pierdas esta conmovedora historia de fe y descubrimiento en "Dios es una fuente de amor"!

In today's episode of this two-part series, Relyssa shares the different eye-opening moments that caused her to take courageous steps out of the community she had spent her entire life in. We dive into the topic of parenthood and how that has helped us with boundaries, this idea of holding multiple truths at the same time, and we talk about the recent unfoldings within the church and the unfortunate fact that when the people in power are not safe, it creates an unsafe environment for everyone else in the community, specifically those with less power. Join us for a compelling exploration of unconditioning love in Relyssa's Story on the podcast.

Key Points:

• Recap of Relyssa's journey and the courage it took to leave her community.
• The role of parenthood in helping establish boundaries
• Being able to navigate complex truths and hold space for multiple beliefs without judgement.
• Discussion on the recent events within the specific high control church and the impact on its members.
• Insights on unconditioning love and its transformative power in Relyssa's life.

Thank you for joining us for Part 2 of Relyssa's Story. We hope you found inspiration and insight in her journey of self-discovery and the power of unconditioning love. Stay tuned for more episodes on the podcast.

Sara grew up in the 2x2 church in New Jersey, where, as a child, she grappled with the notion of why God would want his children to feel unworthy. Sara's mother served as her guiding light, teaching her about unconditional love.  Sara went to college to become an English teacher because that was an approved degree for women. At 23, Sara faced the loss of her mother and discovered the religion lacked the space for her grief. When seeking therapy, she was discouraged by the preachers. Sara broke free from the church at 28, and at 30, she shifted careers. Sara now thrives as a massage therapist, reiki master, and psychic medium, embracing her best life.
