Duration: 48:09
Hosts: Brigette Heller, Elizabeth Baker, Jazzael Taylor, Taryn Donson, Tanja Bentley Ward
Episode Summary:
-What are things that put us in a place of disconnection? How do we get back to God? There are so many things that pull us from God like free will, hardships, trials, or abuse from others. Mental health is a big disconnection from God. It is so important to us to share how to get back to the main thing, God.
Key Points Covered:
- “The hard things that should bring us to God, often don’t because we are scared. The unknown is one of the greatest human fears.” Brigette Heller
- ”Shame keeps me from God. When I can’t do something well, then I won’t do it at all. If I see myself being inadequate, then God must too. That is where shame comes in. But this isn’t the truth, God doesn’t see me as a failure, He shows me mercy. It takes God and your community of people to pull you out. I need my community to speak faith into me when I can’t do it myself. My people have to be the feet and hands of God.” Taryn Donson
- ”The hardest part of disconnection is asking for help. How do you ask for help when you don’t know you need it? I’ve always said, “You don’t know what you don’t know.” Jazzael Taylor
-”Our feelings are indicators. It lets us know that we need something.” Taryn Donson
-”Sometimes it is overwhelming to talk to a person because you may be afraid of what you may say or of what they may say. Sometimes, you just have to bring the ladder. The ladder to extend out for help.” Tanja Bently-Ward
“Keep an eye out and see where you can give a hand.” Elizabeth Baker

Footprints in the Sand
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each, I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints; other times there was only one.
During the low periods of my life I could see only one set of footprints, so I said, "You promised me, Lord, that you would walk with me always. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?"
The Lord replied, "The times when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you."
