Have We Confused What We Do With Who We Are? What Sarah's Story Teaches Us About Identity, Purpose, and Grace | Ep 36 · In His Circle

  Tiffany Windsor: Welcome to In His Circle, where women gather to share life stories, discover authentic community, and grow in faith.
• 0:08
  Tiffany Windsor: I'm your host, Tiffany Winds.
• 0:10
  Tiffany Windsor: My guest today is my dear friend Heather Brigstock, owner of Southwater Manor in Gallatin, Tennessee.
• 0:17
  Tiffany Windsor: In Heather's own words, her goal at Southwater Manor is to create a place where community happens, where folks feel valued, hope is shared, and relationships can flourish.
• 0:28
  Tiffany Windsor: We're recording today in the upstairs lounge at the Manor.
• 0:32
  Tiffany Windsor: Hi Heather, how are you?
• 0:34
  Tiffany Windsor: I am great and I'm thankful to be here today with you.
• 0:38
  Tiffany Windsor: I want to start today's conversation going back to last Tuesday when I was joining your Bible study, which by the way, I am so grateful that you have started this back up.
• 0:48
  Tiffany Windsor: My first question will be: what guided you to start this study back up?
• 0:52
  Tiffany Windsor: Because one of my first experiences here at Southwater Manor and getting to know you, Heather, was to experience season one of your Bible study, if I can call it season one, and how much it changed my life and how much it really poured me into studying the Bible that I didn't have before.
• 1:11
  Tiffany Windsor: And it stuck with me.
• 1:12
  Tiffany Windsor: I'm not always so good about sticking with things.
• 1:15
  Tiffany Windsor: I tend to jump around a bit, and whatever you did and the way that you taught me, I have stuck with it.
• 1:21
  Tiffany Windsor: And so here we are in season two of your Bible study.
• 1:25
  Tiffany Windsor: I missed the first week, but this week I was able to attend.
• 1:29
  Tiffany Windsor: So I'm going to ask you if you can kind of do a condensed version of last week's study right now.
• 1:36
  Tiffany Windsor: I want everyone to hear because I was so touched how this story reached all of the women at the table.
• 1:42
  Tiffany Windsor: And I know that we can pull out of any sort of Bible scripture something that touches us, but this one in particular really struck me as I listened to everyone talk around the table.
• 1:54
  Tiffany Windsor: So let's just go ahead and jump in.
• 1:56
  Heather Brigstock: Good.
• 1:57
  Heather Brigstock: All right.
• 1:57
  Heather Brigstock: It was actually you, Tiffany, that prompted me to start the Bible study again.
• 2:02
  Heather Brigstock: When we did the Bible study last time, I was compelled in my spirit to do it.
• 2:06
  Heather Brigstock: It wasn't really because we had all the time in the world or anything, but I knew that the Lord wanted me to do it.
• 2:13
  Heather Brigstock: And it was so sweet.
• 2:14
  Heather Brigstock: It was the winter months.
• 2:15
  Heather Brigstock: I feel like we had a lot of really great fellowship, good friends, and great season.
• 2:20
  Heather Brigstock: And we went through the Bible.
• 2:21
  Heather Brigstock: We went through, I think just Genesis, Exodus, I think maybe through Deuteronomy up to Joshua.
• 2:26
  Heather Brigstock: And then we kind of broke for the holidays and I never really got the rhythm back again.
• 2:31
  Heather Brigstock: But when you had you had said something a few weeks ago about how the Bible study impacted you, and then I had probably three other uh women come up and say something similar.
• 2:39
  Heather Brigstock: And just between you and me and these microphones, I always feel very unqualified to lead a Bible study like that.
• 2:47
  Heather Brigstock: And so, because of my great skills or my oratory or anything like that, but I do know that the Holy Spirit lives inside of me.
• 2:53
  Heather Brigstock: And so if I can pray and ask myself to die and for the Holy Spirit to live inside of me, kind of like what I want to do on this podcast, just ask that the Holy Spirit of God would speak through me and give me wisdom and direction, then God's word is blessed.
• 3:09
  Heather Brigstock: The Lord promises that his word won't return void, and it's a blessing.
• 3:12
  Heather Brigstock: We are community driven, and there's a world of people out there that are looking for community, and if they may bump into our Bible study, we just had a lady come in and she was in a couple of days ago.
• 3:22
  Heather Brigstock: I had the chance to pray with her because she's walking through some illnesses.
• 3:25
  Heather Brigstock: I hadn't met her before, but we got a chance to pray.
• 3:27
  Heather Brigstock: She was sharing about some illnesses, and then she showed up back today and she met with her doctor.
• 3:31
  Heather Brigstock: Her tumors were benign, so excited, just praising the Lord.
• 3:34
  Heather Brigstock: It's not because I prayed for it, it's because God's good, but it was a blessing.
• 3:37
  Heather Brigstock: So if we can continue that, we invited her to the Bible study and continue to walk through that.
• 3:41
  Heather Brigstock: That's a good thing.
• 3:42
  Heather Brigstock: And this season, season two, we are walking through the women of the Bible and what we can learn from them.
• 3:47
  Heather Brigstock: So the women in the Bible are full of cracks and breaks, just like us, just like me.
• 3:53
  Heather Brigstock: And being able to read their story and realize that in spite of that, or because of that even, God chose to use them because he gets more glory when he can take a broken vessel and rebuild it and shine through it.
• 4:07
  Heather Brigstock: It's that violinist that plays the broken violin and does it amazingly that gets the most applause, right?
• 4:13
  Heather Brigstock: And that's what the Lord does with us.
• 4:14
  Heather Brigstock: He takes broken vessels and he plays our music.
• 4:18
  Heather Brigstock: He allows us to be part of his plan.
• 4:20
  Heather Brigstock: So anyway, working through the women of the Bible has been a blessing.
• 4:23
  Heather Brigstock: We did Eve the first week, not my best moment, kind of nervous to be honest with you.
• 4:26
  Heather Brigstock: And so I was really praying for the second week.
• 4:28
  Heather Brigstock: We were moving on to Sarai or Sarah in the book of Genesis, and it was a blessing.
• 4:34
  Heather Brigstock: The ladies that met with us there, they were fantastic, and I do feel like the Lord was with us.
• 4:38
  Heather Brigstock: It was smoother.
• 4:39
  Heather Brigstock: And learning about Sarai, like you said, she lived what 110 years, maybe 130, I can't remember.
• 4:46
  Heather Brigstock: And you hear about her, all these different stages of her life.
• 4:49
  Heather Brigstock: And like what you had just said, I think all women can resonate with her at some point in some phase of her life.
• 4:56
  Heather Brigstock: And so we really enjoyed that.
• 4:58
  Heather Brigstock: We started in Genesis 11 learning about Sarai's name.
• 5:01
  Heather Brigstock: And we we just talked about this a second ago, but Sarai means princess.
• 5:04
  Heather Brigstock: And I thought it was really interesting because the history of the name Sarai met princess really just associated with one.
• 5:13
  Heather Brigstock: So, like someone's princess, and the background of her name was actually a Hittite.
• 5:19
  Heather Brigstock: So we don't know for sure that Sarai was of Hittite descent, but it is interesting to think about that because the Hittites were fierce, they were a powerful community, they were one of the first known to use iron in the ancient world.
• 5:33
  Heather Brigstock: And what we do know about the Hittites is that they were warriors, and so for this Sarai to be possibly a Hittite princess was pretty important.
• 5:42
  Heather Brigstock: And she married Abram.
• 5:44
  Heather Brigstock: It says, though, at the very beginning of her life that she was barren, and we talked about her identity.
• 5:51
  Heather Brigstock: So in that world, and this is such a big deal for all of us, but we did spend some time talking about identity because in that world, your identity was made basically as a woman, consisted in your ability to produce not even a child but a son to carry on the family name.
• 6:06
  Heather Brigstock: And so for a woman to be identified as barren was embarrassing.
• 6:10
  Heather Brigstock: It decreased her value, and it was a blight on her name, on her husband's name.
• 6:16
  Heather Brigstock: And we talked about how a lot of times our identity is still tied with our productivity.
• 6:23
  Heather Brigstock: And when you shake someone's hand or you introduce yourself, they'll say, Oh, what's your name?
• 6:28
  Heather Brigstock: Oh, I'm Heather Brigstock.
• 6:29
  Heather Brigstock: What do you do?
• 6:30
  Heather Brigstock: Well, I own Southwater Manor.
• 6:31
  Heather Brigstock: I don't tell them anything else.
• 6:33
  Heather Brigstock: That's what I do.
• 6:35
  Heather Brigstock: And so, based on how, I don't know, how successful or unsuccessful we are, that could be a good thing or a bad thing.
• 6:42
  Heather Brigstock: I mean, nobody wants to reach out their hand and tell them that their owner of the business that got shut down or were foreclosed on, or they're, you know, that they're on welfare or their family just fell apart.
• 6:51
  Heather Brigstock: Nobody leads with that.
• 6:52
  Heather Brigstock: And it's because our society still gauges success on productivity and our value on what we can produce.
• 6:59
  Heather Brigstock: And I'm so thankful to be known by a God who doesn't measure our success that way.
• 7:04
  Heather Brigstock: My value and your value is not based on what we can produce and not what we bring to the table.
• 7:10
  Heather Brigstock: It's what Jesus brought to the table when he died on the cross, bought us, redeemed us.
• 7:14
  Heather Brigstock: The blood that covers us because we're born-again Christians is what gives us value.
• 7:18
  Heather Brigstock: And um, we spent a couple minutes talking about this in Genesis 1 and day four.
• 7:23
  Heather Brigstock: God created the sun, moon, and the stars.
• 7:26
  Heather Brigstock: And the Bible says that he put them in the sky to act as lights and to give us, to record day and night, but also the seasons.
• 7:35
  Heather Brigstock: And that word seasons, and I don't know the word, and I couldn't say it if I even if I did, it's in Hebrew, but the word seasons is a really powerful word.
• 7:43
  Heather Brigstock: It reminds us about productivity.
• 7:46
  Heather Brigstock: So when we think about the seasons, we know in the summer we work, in the winter we rest, in the fall we harvest, in the spring we plant.
• 7:51
  Heather Brigstock: When Moses was receiving the law from the Lord, when he was getting the story of creation, the Ten Commandments, when he was hearing from the Lord, writing it all down, because that's where we get the Genesis story.
• 8:04
  Heather Brigstock: God was relaying to Moses, and Moses was relaying to a group of people in the wilderness that had just come out of bondage.
• 8:12
  Heather Brigstock: And the children of Israel, their entire life, for the two to four hundred years that they'd been in bondage, was wrapped up in slavery.
• 8:20
  Heather Brigstock: Talk about a people whose worth and identity was built around what they could produce, how many bricks they could make, how many towers they could build, how much straw they could find.
• 8:30
  Heather Brigstock: Their value was intrinsically tied to what they could produce.
• 8:34
  Heather Brigstock: And here is God giving Moses this word that tells them that their value is not tied to what they produce.
• 8:42
  Heather Brigstock: That God didn't choose the people of Israel because they were large in number, because they were strong, smart, attractive, talented, hardworking, anything like that.
• 8:52
  Heather Brigstock: That God chose them because he loved them.
• 8:55
  Heather Brigstock: And he did the same thing for us.
• 8:57
  Heather Brigstock: He didn't choose us because we were special, because we brought anything to the table.
• 9:02
  Heather Brigstock: The Bible says that God, before we were formed in the womb, that God knew us, that he chose us to be conformed to the image of his son.
• 9:10
  Heather Brigstock: And those he chose, he predestined, those he predestined, he foreknew.
• 9:14
  Heather Brigstock: And it's just this beautiful story that our value doesn't come from what we have.
• 9:19
  Heather Brigstock: And so it was with Sarai.
• 9:21
  Heather Brigstock: So I guess that's kind of a long story, but maybe somebody needs to hear that too.
• 9:25
  Heather Brigstock: Somebody might need to hear that your identity isn't based on what you've done or what you haven't done.
• 9:32
  Heather Brigstock: But there is a God who loves you and sees you and knows your value and formed you and has given you purpose and given you a calling.
• 9:41
  Heather Brigstock: And obviously, we want to work hard and we want to be diligent, not to prove our worth just because of our worth, maybe.
• 9:49
  Heather Brigstock: So kind of on the other side of who we are.
• 9:51
  Heather Brigstock: And I think that's important for people to remember.
• 9:54
  Tiffany Windsor: Oh, Heather, this is so good.
• 9:56
  Tiffany Windsor: After that Bible study, I really reflected on looking back on my life.
• 10:00
  Tiffany Windsor: I was married for about five years when I was very young.
• 10:04
  Tiffany Windsor: And during that time, God did not bless me with children.
• 10:07
  Tiffany Windsor: I never remarried, so I have no children.
• 10:10
  Tiffany Windsor: And so when you started talking about how we can be gauged by our productivity, since I wasn't raising a family, I now look back and realized that I went into the corporate world and slipped into the belief of that productivity as my worth.
• 10:25
  Tiffany Windsor: I was not a believer at the time.
• 10:28
  Tiffany Windsor: And so now in my retirement, well, actually semi-retirement, because I don't know that I'll ever really retire.
• 10:35
  Tiffany Windsor: But it's so clear for me to go back now and reflect on the choices that I made because of the pressures of society around me, just like you said, being judged by what you do.
• 10:48
  Heather Brigstock: And the more that we talk about and you flush it out, it's like massaging this concept because we are called to be industrious.
• 10:54
  Heather Brigstock: In the first Bible study, we talked about Eve and how God made a garden for Adam and Eve and put them in there to tend it.
• 11:01
  Heather Brigstock: So Adam was a gardener.
• 11:03
  Heather Brigstock: Eve was a gardener.
• 11:04
  Heather Brigstock: And it is our title, our identity, but not our worth.
• 11:08
  Heather Brigstock: And that's that's the challenge.
• 11:10
  Heather Brigstock: So Adam was never gauged on how many apples he could produce or anything.
• 11:15
  Heather Brigstock: And maybe that's the story of Cain and Abel, too, because their productivity.
• 11:18
  Heather Brigstock: I don't know.
• 11:19
  Heather Brigstock: You know, here's one bringing the lamb and slaughtering it, the other bringing the best of his fruits and vegetables, his productivity.
• 11:25
  Heather Brigstock: He's offering what he could produce, like showing himself and trying to earn it himself.
• 11:30
  Heather Brigstock: That's what Cain brought.
• 11:31
  Heather Brigstock: And Abel, when he brought his sacrifice, he brought a lamb and killed it.
• 11:35
  Heather Brigstock: So it's almost like um not self-defamation, but just the opposite.
• 11:39
  Heather Brigstock: He didn't have anything to bring, so he was relying on this and following God's command.
• 11:44
  Heather Brigstock: I don't know, it's interesting to think about because we don't want to gauge our worth on what we can produce.
• 11:50
  Heather Brigstock: However, we are called to be productive.
• 11:52
  Heather Brigstock: So it is.
• 11:53
  Heather Brigstock: So what do we do with that?
• 11:55
  Heather Brigstock: I know, I know.
• 11:56
  Heather Brigstock: It is so hard.
• 11:57
  Heather Brigstock: I think we make sure that we are constantly walking in a mindset where we're giving the glory to the Lord and asking him to empower us to go.
• 12:04
  Heather Brigstock: You know, I fall into this trap all the time in the morning when I am on my knees before the Lord.
• 12:09
  Heather Brigstock: I am asking God for customers in our building.
• 12:11
  Heather Brigstock: And on a day when we've had a lot of sales, I feel more valuable.
• 12:15
  Heather Brigstock: I feel like I've had a good day.
• 12:16
  Heather Brigstock: Did I go out there and bring those people in there?
• 12:18
  Heather Brigstock: Not at all.
• 12:18
  Heather Brigstock: Was it my marketing skills or my charisma that brought them in?
• 12:21
  Heather Brigstock: No.
• 12:22
  Heather Brigstock: No, a lot of times I'm turning people away.
• 12:23
  Heather Brigstock: I scare them a little bit.
• 12:24
  Heather Brigstock: And so it's just the Lord.
• 12:26
  Heather Brigstock: And so we just have to be so careful, constantly reminding.
• 12:30
  Heather Brigstock: And I think that's where the Lord wants us to stay.
• 12:32
  Heather Brigstock: We don't ever achieve.
• 12:34
  Heather Brigstock: Every day is a new day.
• 12:36
  Heather Brigstock: Paul said, I die daily, and not like death, but our flesh, we have to constantly and continually mortify the deeds of our flesh so that we are allowing the Holy Spirit, the Lord that lives inside of us to fill us.
• 12:49
  Heather Brigstock: I heard a pastor talk one time and he said, I want to be so full of Jesus that if somebody jostles me, Jesus spills out.
• 12:55
  Heather Brigstock: This idea that we're so full of Jesus that if somebody smells us, they smell Jesus.
• 13:00
  Heather Brigstock: And I think that's that idea.
• 13:02
  Heather Brigstock: We're walking around with this mindset that we're called to be productive, called to be industrious, but the things that we produce aren't tied to our value.
• 13:11
  Heather Brigstock: Our value comes from who did it.
• 13:13
  Heather Brigstock: That's the Lord.
• 13:14
  Tiffany Windsor: I wrote down some notes while you were talking.
• 13:16
  Tiffany Windsor: And it's so interesting to me when you say this about yourself because you said you were a little nervous the first week in the Bible study and that you felt unqualified.
• 13:26
  Tiffany Windsor: It's always so interesting to me when I hear you speak that about yourself.
• 13:30
  Tiffany Windsor: And so I think today I just want to be witness to say you are qualified.
• 13:36
  Tiffany Windsor: When I watch the woman around the table, and some that I've known for many, many years, and some that are new friends, and I see how they light up, how they relate to how you tell the story.
• 13:49
  Tiffany Windsor: I don't think you understand what a beautiful storyteller you are and what a gift that is.
• 13:55
  Tiffany Windsor: And so I want to find another word for you because we're never going to use unqualified again.
• 14:02
  Heather Brigstock: I appreciate those words.
• 14:04
  Heather Brigstock: The Lord is so kind when you dream about the future and you see things that I don't know if I just don't dream big or I don't dream at all, or we just take the next day.
• 14:14
  Heather Brigstock: I don't know.
• 14:15
  Heather Brigstock: I know that the Lord is the strength of my life and He's allowed us to have really fantastic opportunities.
• 14:20
  Heather Brigstock: I never want to take it for granted.
• 14:22
  Heather Brigstock: God is very real to me.
• 14:24
  Heather Brigstock: He is as real to me as you are.
• 14:26
  Heather Brigstock: And I have a deep longing to share that with people.
• 14:32
  Heather Brigstock: I want them to know that the God in whose hand their breath is is as real to me as you, Tiffany, sitting right there.
• 14:39
  Heather Brigstock: So in that sense, I feel a calling to be able to articulate that to women and to others, to anybody that will sit there long enough and let me tell them about it.
• 14:46
  Heather Brigstock: It's definitely not because I'm eloquent or have all the words, but the Lord is good.
• 14:52
  Heather Brigstock: He's faithful and he takes broken vessels and again and uses them.
• 14:56
  Heather Brigstock: And I think that is that's the beauty of Sarah.
• 14:58
  Heather Brigstock: I love the beauty of Sarah because you hear at the end of the story, she's 90 years old, 100 years old, giving birth to Isaac, and just how she rejoices that at the end of her life that God has been able to do this miracle and she gives all the glory to him.
• 15:16
  Heather Brigstock: She's walked this long, long road with Abram and experienced the super highs and the super lows, and now God has given her this joy.
• 15:25
  Heather Brigstock: Not because she was perfect, because she made some terrible mistakes and had some really terrible things happen to her along the way.
• 15:31
  Heather Brigstock: God took all of that and just worked it out together for her good, for his glory.
• 15:36
  Heather Brigstock: And when we take those stories and we apply them to ourselves, like you said, everybody around the table.
• 15:39
  Heather Brigstock: So I'm praising the Lord for that.
• 15:41
  Heather Brigstock: And I appreciate your words.
• 15:42
  Heather Brigstock: You promote me and help me to be better, and I'm thankful for you.
• 15:46
  Tiffany Windsor: I see how you live your life, and I see how honest you are.
• 15:50
  Tiffany Windsor: And a lot of people don't have that quality.
• 15:53
  Tiffany Windsor: They may speak the words, but you live it.
• 15:56
  Tiffany Windsor: And that's what makes you capable to be able to speak the word of God.
• 16:01
  Heather Brigstock: I'm not a very good actor.
• 16:02
  Heather Brigstock: So what you see is what you get.
• 16:05
  Heather Brigstock: I learned a long time ago.
• 16:07
  Heather Brigstock: I think a lot of that comes from having children.
• 16:10
  Heather Brigstock: I was really nervous when we first started the ministry because I saw so many pastors' kids, missionary kids.
• 16:16
  Heather Brigstock: I went to a Christian college, Bible college.
• 16:18
  Heather Brigstock: I saw so many kids that were one way in church and one way out.
• 16:23
  Heather Brigstock: And the more that we were involved in those circles, the more I realized that there were parents like that, pastors like that.
• 16:32
  Heather Brigstock: We would go to pastors' homes uh when we were going on deputation, we were traveling to different churches, trying to gather support to be able to go abroad.
• 16:39
  Heather Brigstock: And so we would go to churches and stay in pastors' homes, and the home was completely different than what the pastor was.
• 16:48
  Heather Brigstock: And the wow, the difference between who he was on the pulpit and who he was in his house would be miles and miles apart.
• 16:56
  Heather Brigstock: And nobody knows that more than your children.
• 16:58
  Heather Brigstock: Your children are watching you and they have laser vision and they know they know if the mom in public and the mom in private are different, they don't understand why, but they start to obviously have that mindset.
• 17:11
  Heather Brigstock: And I'm so thankful Jeff is the same way.
• 17:14
  Heather Brigstock: We are not perfect, but what you see at the house is the same that you're gonna see at church, in the grocery store, anywhere else.
• 17:20
  Heather Brigstock: We have never masked it, and so good, bad, or in between, what you see is what you get.
• 17:26
  Heather Brigstock: And I think that makes a difference because at the end of the day, I'm not gonna lose my kids.
• 17:30
  Heather Brigstock: I'm not gonna let them see something that is fake and phony, and I feel the same way about my friends and my customers.
• 17:36
  Heather Brigstock: It's very important that our words and our actions align, and the Lord knows my heart more than anybody else.
• 17:42
  Heather Brigstock: But people will see cracks after a while for sure, and it provides a dissonance um in between what you see and what you do.
• 17:50
  Heather Brigstock: So having beautiful, what's the opposite of the dissonance?
• 17:53
  Heather Brigstock: And I don't know, there's a word for it.
• 17:56
  Heather Brigstock: The the chords are in harmony.
• 17:58
  Heather Brigstock: We want to live our life in a harmony so that people can see that.
• 18:01
  Tiffany Windsor: I think what I want to wrap up with was another point that I wrote down, which you talked about in a story you were just telling.
• 18:08
  Tiffany Windsor: Jesus spills out of you when you open your mouth, when you walk in the door.
• 18:12
  Tiffany Windsor: And what a beautiful way to explain that.
• 18:14
  Tiffany Windsor: Because that's the way we should be living our lives with every interaction we have, with every person that we invite into our community, Jesus spills out of us.
• 18:25
  Tiffany Windsor: So that's what you're leaving me with today.
• 18:28
  Heather Brigstock: I appreciate that.
• 18:29
  Heather Brigstock: We do margie cups at our house at coffee, and that's what we picture.
• 18:33
  Heather Brigstock: Be so full.
• 18:33
  Heather Brigstock: A margie cup is when your coffee is so full you can't carry it.
• 18:36
  Heather Brigstock: So a margie cup, and I can't remember who Margie is, but that's what we call him.
• 18:41
