Have you ever asked how did my emotional heart form the way it did? Joining me is Senior Director of Strategic Operations for TENx10 Lisette Fraser and she shares how one moment from summer camp changed her perspective on Justice. We also explore the meaning of justice from a faith perspective and the importance of taking responsibility and doing better. In this conversation, Lisette shares her experiences of exclusion and the impact it had on her. She talks about the importance of making room for everyone and the need to be better. She reflects on her journey of forgiveness and the realization that some people may not have room for others in their hearts. Lisette opens up about her relationship with her father and the challenges she faced growing up. She shares how her faith in Jesus became more meaningful after her mom got remarried and they started going to church. Lisette emphasizes the ongoing trust journey and the importance of checking the receipts of God's faithfulness.

Reflection Questions

1. What has god placed on your heart the most?  Justice, Serving, Kindness, Loving others well - what is that for you currently?
2. Is there something right now that you need to trust God with and hand it over to Him?  Maybe you need to physically extend your hands as a prayer
