S1 Ep:3 Embracing the Transformative Power of Faith and Surrender #Throwback

Crossing Bridges with Rae - The Podcast

Part 2...

Can you recall the last time you felt truly at peace, knowing that everything was out of your hands and you were simply a participant in something greater than yourself? It's time to have a profound conversation about cultivating unshakeable faith in God and realizing the freedom in surrender. Not referring to grandiose gestures truly committing to this practice. It is very important to emphasize on the quiet, personal moments - in your closet, shower, or bedside - when you let go and invite a higher power to take the wheel.

The journey we embark on is not one of loss, but discovery. As we share our personal experiences, we walk you through the questions we started asking after opening ourselves to divine guidance. Questions like, "What will you have me do?", "Where will you have me go?", and "What would you have me say and to whom?" (from A Course in Miracles) We seek to illustrate that surrendering is not about losing control, but rather embracing a new way of life guided by faith. So join in, as we explore the liberating act of surrendering to God and how it can change your life.

Your journey matters, and your voice will always be heard here, so be sure to share your thoughts, questions and reflections with me on my innerwebs.

Thank you for joining me for another episode as we cross this bridge together!

So much Love, Rae

TRANSCRIPT:

00:09 - Rachel "Rae" Mindy (Host)

Okay, we are here, so I think that I might name this how to Develop Unwavering Faith in God. Maybe that'll be the name of it, we'll see. So the first thing that I tell her or anyone else that I work with, friend, foe, client, whatever you want to call it is surrender. And when I say surrender I am simply saying to find a space, and it doesn't have to be anything extravagant. It could be your closet, it could be your shower, literally. I mean, you could be on the side of your bed on your knees, you could be laying in the bed, it doesn't really matter.

00:53

But what you need to do is you just need to excuse me, you just need to tell God that you're done, like I'm not really sure what to do. I've tried everything else. Nothing seems to be working, and so I am surrendering everything that is going on in my life to you, and I am going to do nothing from this point forward, but to ask and listen for your direction. But right now I am surrendering all of me and everything that comes with me to you, and I'm asking you to come into my life and to speak to me and let me know what it is that you want me to do because I am just I'm done, I can't do it anymore and I don't want to. I am inviting you into my life so that I can move forward in life, because at this point I don't know how, I don't know what, where, when, and it's just that simple.

02:13

And I promise you like if you do this and I mean you can get on your knees, you can do all of these dramatic things. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter. I mean, those things are great and they sound good and that's probably what was done back in the day. But God is with you. You just have to realize it and you just have to accept him. And yeah, like my questions in the beginning to God was what will you have me do? Where will you have me go? What would you have me to say and to whom? But that was after I surrendered. Like surrendering to me is just relinquishing all control.
