INSTANT TAKEAWAYS

1 | BE MORE TRANSPARENT 

Being more transparent with our life is difficult, but when we share what God is doing it is a testimony to what only he can do.

2 | EVERYONE IS STRUGGLING

Everyone is struggling but if can we struggle more authentically, we can have impact.

3 | BE MESSY

Be messy, look for small signs of hope and hang on to Jesus.

 

SHOW NOTES

Join Stacy, Jacque, and special guest Jenny as they discuss how fitting neatly into a tidy church box isn’t a requirement to do life. The ladies share how messy life is and that by living more authentically we can be an encouragement to each other. The group also discusses the fear of judgment that we experience when sharing the “real”. The ladies talk about how to share what our kids are going through without airing out their dirty laundry or making them feel like they are failing. They wrap up the podcast talking about the hope we can give each other and to our kids when we are more transparent about what is going on in our lives.
