This episode is a personal one for me. My sister Aimee joins me on the podcast and shares her story! In this episode we explore the difficulties of our childhood. Aimee describes how the grace of God allowed her to process these experiences and make it through them. She talks about encountering the love of Jesus which changed her life forever. Other topics explored in this episode include: 

*Aimee’s personal Christian journey through challenge and experiencing new environments 

*Aimee’s journey to becoming a mental health therapist 

*Mental health and Christianity

*Advice for a healthy mind and navigating trauma 

Here are some of my favorite thoughts/quotes from this episode:

• God is in the stillness, not just in highly supernatural experiences.


• God will wreck your plans, when He sees your plans are going to wreck you.


• Feelings are not facts. Be mindful of the feelings your thoughts are feeding you. Are these thoughts biblically true?


• People are attracted to authenticity. Be real. Be yourself.


• If you’ve gone through abuse and trauma, it’s important to process this–it may not be as easy as replacing negative thoughts with positive ones.


• Anxiety is fixation on the future; depression is fixation on the past. Meditation is something that brings you to the present and can help produce a healthy mind.
