info_outlineOne of my favorite people to talk to about emotional and mental health is Heidi Goehmann. God allowed our lives to intersect because of our love for words and His Word.
Throughout my life, I've labeled my emotions as positive or negative, and when I perceived my emotions through an unfavorable lens, I would feel ashamed. Through my friendship with Heidi, I learned we don't need to label our emotions as good or bad.
Heidi and I invite you to join us in our conversation about emotions and how we can use reflection and God's Word to help us move through the challenges we face.
We’ve created a Reflection Mini Challenge that we will share on Instagram, Facebook, or email. The challenge will take place September 26 – 30th.
It’s five days, five moments to reflect, simple and created to fit in and around your schedule.
We will teach you a simple way to pause in God's presence through reflection that you can use throughout your day.
Heidi and I hosted a Facebook live to talk more about the Reflection Mini challenge, and I thought I would share a part of it through this podcast. I hope you can listen in and follow the challenge.
If you sign up through email, you will be entered to win a devotional book that Heidi and I, along with 50 other female authors, contributed to, it is called Words of Peace and Protection, and I’ve had a preview. It is exactly what we need in this season of life.
