Has your spiritual life plateaued?
Do you feel that you are no longer having a positive impact on the people around you?
Do you have aspects of your personal-life holding you back from moving forward in other areas?
I shared on my last episode about Small Groups - that the reason it'd been such a big gap between that episode and the last one, was because I'd been doing a LOT of personal work - primarily as a part of the Soul Care process.
This was with Deb Brown, now one of my spiritual mentors, and a person I've 'unpacked' a lot of my junk with over these last few months.
As someone who mentors and coaches a lot of other people, I had got to a place where I was feeling frustrated and disappointed with my own lack of progress, but also afraid, because the things that I treasured so dearly - my marriage and my relationship with my kids were suffering and for the first time in a long time, I became genuinely worried that I was not going to make it through.
I had done everything I knew how to do as a coach for myself, but it became starkly apparent that I needed some help.
I have always sought out 'coaches' - not 'counsellors', because in my mind, I wasn't really interested in unpacking the past. The past was done. The future can be changed.
But I have since realised that the past - including wounds, mistakes, judgements and family history ALL play a part in who you are today - and unless you address it, it continues to shape your future!
It sounds obvious when I write it now, the past was much more alive in me than I realised!
I'd avoided this truth, preferring instead to hold onto an over-inflated sense of control.
Deb Brown - has a background in Social Work but now helps Christian men and women to thrive in their relationship with God, by delivering the Soul Care program by Rob Reimer - which helps participants 'unpack the suitcase of their soul' - taking out the 'dirty laundry' so that new patterns of healing, self-awareness and intimacy with God can take its place.
