Listen in to learn about the heart of the Restorable Retreat, how it is God's retreat and how He is inviting me to give it a rest. website/blog - sign up for my emails newsletters - Reflections after the 1st Restorable Retreat - LEARN MORE ABOUT

21 - Depression & anxiety - TO LIFE & HOPE!
Hope Layer Podcast
When I met Jasmine I saw so much light and life in her eyes, so I was a bit surprised to learn of her storied past. Before Jasmine discovered love from the God of all Hope, she spent nearly 20 years running from herself. Her running didn't satisfy, and unfortunately, this path only led her to collide head-on with darkness, depression, and eventually mental hospitals when she was 33 years old. Now, 6 years later, in Jasmine's place of hope and life, she can look back and see how God used that dark valley to help her, literally, reach out her hand towards hope. Hope...

18 -What restores your soul?
Hope Layer Podcast
The women at the retreat privately named their valley. We called it their “It”. “IT”... “It” was the thing that knocks them over, makes them angry, or brings tears to their eyes. “It” is the thing that can somehow have more power over our day and our choices. They were honest with themselves and with God while they sat safely on the couches and in their bedrooms at the retreat. Most of us wished that our hard thing wouldn’t even be real. We wanted it to go away, or if that couldn’t happen, we wanted to HURRY UP and get OVER it! BUT, when we looked at Psalm 23, we saw that...
