I have the privilege of sharing my friend Connie Lemois today with you. We met a little over a year ago working together with Women Speakers Collective and have become fast friends. After hearing Connie's story I knew you need to hear about how God is so faithful in bringing reality into perspective.
In this conversation, Connie Lemois shares her journey of navigating out of a second-hand faith into something more. She emphasizes the importance of understanding one's own narrative and not letting external influences dictate one's faith. Connie recounts her experiences of God's faithfulness, including a transformative trip to Thailand and the unexpected blessings that followed her prayers. She also discusses the joy of building a new family and how God's love and redemption reshaped her own life.
Takeaways
- Be okay with being human during your faith journey.
- Don't let others dictate your faith; seek your own understanding in God.
- Trauma can lead to a deeper understanding of faith.
- Prayer can lead to miraculous provisions.
- Building a family can look different than expected.
- Faith can bring joy and stability in tumultuous times.
Reflection Questions
- Connie talked about the narrative, have you understood your own personal narrative and how that can draw you closer to Jesus.
- Is there a space you have become a professional chameleon, maybe you are triggered by something in the past or it is a habit you didn’t know was there.
Keywords: faith, trauma, redemption, community, personal growth, Jesus, family, healing, mental health, love story
