Ep. 3 | Sitting In It : The Power of Pain that Stays
This episode talks about tension between wanting to get out of something that is HARD as fast as possible and staying in it long enough to find purpose and healing. God doesn’t waste hard seasons but we can miss whole chapters of our story by trying to avoid the hard parts and numb ourselves from the pain. I’m sharing how I have experienced the power of staying in the pain instead of running from it. Life change happens when we’re uncomfortable. Many will avoid discomfort their entire lives and sacrifice AMAZING growth because of it. My hope is that this episode will empower people to start looking at their own lives and their own hard seasons (big and small) and start discovering what good thing could be waiting for them in the mess!Follow Katelyn: Instagram (http://www.instagram.com/katelynjames)Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/katelynjames)YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/katelynjames)Website (http://www.katelynjames.com)
