The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast 1KHO 289: We Don't Have Forever | Jennie Lusko, The Fight to Flourish
In this enriching episode of the 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, host Ginny Yurich sits down with Jennie Lusko, author of The Fight to Flourish and pastor at Fresh Life Church in Montana. Since its inception in January 2007, Fresh Life Church has been a beacon of hope and inspiration for many, and Jennie’s journey is deeply intertwined with its growth and mission.
Jennie shares her profound insights on navigating grief, embracing resilience, and cultivating a purposeful life. Drawing from her personal experiences, she beautifully articulates the importance of training for trials before they arrive, emphasizing that we don’t have forever to make an impact.
Reflecting on motherhood, Jennie discusses the critical moments of pausing to consider the type of mother she wants to be, especially when faced with the fleeting nature of time with her children. She speaks candidly about her heartache and the poignant lessons learned from not having the opportunity to grow with her daughter, Lenya, who is in heaven. This profound reframe of parenting highlights the preciousness of each moment.
Jennie’s wisdom extends to personal growth and relationships, where she addresses the futility of prickliness and the walls we build when hurt. Instead, she advocates for fighting to maintain a sweet spirit and fostering warmth that gathers people together.
The conversation also delves into practical strategies for managing life's demands, such as planning seasons of rest and the importance of doing hard things to aid in healing. Jennie’s mantra of "running toward the roar" serves as a powerful reminder that facing challenges head-on strengthens us.
