Quotes and statements within the interview:
"I used to think joy came on the far side of a dream realized or a goal achieved. But what God taught me through that story is that the greatest joy is actually found when we're drained of misplaced hope and shallow identities."
"I had a really blessed childhood."
"Over time, I got this message that I was a little bit more special or a little bit more safe and secure if I was performing well."
"But in retrospect, I realized that one of the ways he's [the Enemy] worked in my life, and I think is common in American culture is He allowed me to be comfortable without Christ.""But I also knew because it wasn't anything I would have wanted."
"And I don't think God is the author of our suffering, but in His graciousness to us, He's not going to waste it either."
"The four main ways that people tend to react to their pain are blame, shame, control, and escape.""I am not giving myself permission to be who I am and to connect with other people in a raw and vulnerable way."
"I think if you gave me the pen, I'm still not sure I'd be brave enough to write that story."
"It is a thing that has kept me tethered to the hope of Christ.""I'm still not thankful for it. But goodness, am I thankful to be a woman who knows hope and knows our ultimate hope in Christ in a way I'm not sure I would have otherwise."
"And I learned that (you know) I can invite God into the feelings I have instead of trying to have the perfect feelings for God."
"Christ is in the mud with you."
"We don't pray and ask because it leads us to a certain answer. We pray and ask because it always leads us to the person and presence of Jesus.""The ground is even at the foot of the cross."
"We have to get really hnest about the messages we're carrying around about our identity and sense of safety that again we might have good reasons for feelings and those feelings might be real, but there's a difference between feelings real and feelings being true."
"Only empty hands are open."
What has your story gifted you?
- A totally different understanding of God's character.
- A totally different relationship with Him.
"On the far side of pain we don't prefer, we will find transformation we wouldn't trade."
