TRANSCRIPT - TRAILER
Hey guys, my name's Amy LeSage and welcome. Thank you so much for popping in here and spending your valuable time trying to see what this, show is all about. I really appreciate it.
Never in a million years did I think that I would have a calling on my heart to do this type of podcast. Let's just start there. If you would have asked me anytime really throughout my life about my faith... I would have told you that my relationship with the Lord, and my faith in general, is a super important part of me. So you can imagine my surprise when I felt a true calling on my heart a year ago to start this podcast and I was met with paralyzing fear, doubt, inadequacy. Like, somehow he got the wrong person.
When throughout my whole life, all I really ever wanted was a clear answer. I mean, who doesn't, right? And it was actually in the moment of praying for help... as life was like falling apart all around me in many different levels, financially, relationally, my business, my kids health, my health.
I mean, I felt like I was getting hit left and right. And each time I would come up for air and get going again, I would get hit again. And I was coming to him, as I often do, praying for some guidance, like, Lord what do you want me to do? Because EVERYTHING I'm trying isn't working. I thought I heard you. I thought I'd been following you, but now it's all coming to a crashing halt.
Where did I go wrong? I was begging him to come to me and put it so heavy on my heart what he wanted me to do next. What he envisioned for my life. Why was I here? And the craziest thing is, as I'm asking him to do this, he's giving me the answer exactly the way that I had asked for it. And I'm Like, whoa, no, no, no, no, no, no. Actually, I was like, okay, no problem. And when it came time to actually do it, that's when fear kicked in.
That's when inadequacy kicked in.
And when I realized that, I was stunned. I really was. I was just like... what?! Am I so broken in some kind of a way that the devil has also creeped his way in so that I'm not able to follow God?
That really shook me. Really, more than anything else. Because I wholeheartedly believe in Jesus and that he died on the cross for me. I wholeheartedly love the Lord. I wholeheartedly believe in all the teachings that I grew up learning in my Christian faith. WHY was I not running to hit record?
God made it really clear (thank goodness), that day, where I needed to start my journey with Him. And it was in one word. And when that word hit me, it hit hard! That this one little word could have such an impact on every part of my life.
And what was that word? WORTH.
This podcast is an open invitation to ANYONE who struggles with negative self talk, and most importantly, their worth.
Please don't think that this is going to be a podcast of how I got it perfectly right. I'm literally in the midst of that journey. I feel like I'm being called to tell you how I got it really wrong, and how God's working in my life to help me do better. Because something's gotta give. I don't wanna live this way anymore. And I also want my relationship with the Lord to be strong, that when I feel a calling on my heart, I'm, I'm running! I'm running to it. And the enemy has no impact on that calling.
So come alongside me as I go on this journey of finding my worth, first and foremost, in His love - in CHRIST'S LOVE. That's where it needs to start.
If this speaks to you in any way, or if you know someone who really needs to hear this, I hope that you would pass this along and I encourage you to hit play ... and let's get started! There's a lot to do. I'll see you in there.
