• 0:00
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to the Vineyard Podcast where her identity in Christ becomes the foundation for a healthy Christ-centered relationship.
• 0:09
  SPEAKER_00: Hi, love.
• 0:10
  SPEAKER_00: Before we begin, if you happen to hear a little one in the background today, that's because I'm on Mummy Duty.
• 0:19
  SPEAKER_00: And you know what I say.
• 0:21
  SPEAKER_00: Mummy has to do what mummy has to do.
• 0:25
  SPEAKER_00: Normally I would probably wait for the perfect moment and the quiet room and the idea recording environment, but not today.
• 0:32
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 0:34
  SPEAKER_00: Something about this message made me feel like perfection wasn't necessary.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: Not that it ever is.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_00: But I just needed to put this out because life doesn't always become quiet before we need encouragement.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes we're carrying children, we're showing up for work, we're taking care of everyone else.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: We're trying to hold everything else together.
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_00: And while we're doing all of that, we're carrying things nobody else sees.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: So if you're listening today, while folding laundry, driving to work, sitting in the parking lot, taking a walk, preparing the dinner, whatever it is that you may be doing.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_00: Even if you're just simply trying to get through another day, this message is for you.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: But before we begin, let's invite God into the conversation.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: Lord, thank you.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you for every woman you have led here today.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you for every heart you have led here today.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_00: And thank you because you know her story.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: You know her struggles, her disappointment, you know her fears.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: And you know the things that she's carrying that no one else knows about.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: So, Lord, I ask that you will create a safe space, a safe place in her heart during these next few moments that will allow her to hear what needs to be heard and allow her to receive what needs to be received and remind her that she is never alone.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_00: In Jesus' name.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: I ask and pray.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: Amen.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_00: Love, can I share something with you for just a moment?
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_00: I have learned that some of the strongest women are often carrying some of the heaviest burdens.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_00: Women who are smiling, women who encourage everyone else.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: I'm talking about the women who keep showing up, the women who look like they have everything together.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes souls are the very women carrying things like heartbreak, loneliness, fear, disappointment, confusion.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes they're carrying grief.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes they're carrying rejection.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes they're carrying years of pretending that they're okay.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_00: And if I'm being honest, I think women have become so accustomed to carrying these things that they no longer realize how heavy it has become.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_00: But because every woman deserves a safe place where she can feel seen, she can feel heard, she can feel understood, and she can feel supported.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: I'm talking about a place where she doesn't have to perform, a place where she doesn't have to pretend, a place where she doesn't have to have all the answers, a place where she can just simply be honest about where she is.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_00: Love over the next few weeks.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna be having some very honest conversation together.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna be talking about healthy Christ love, like what it actually looks like and what it actually feels like.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_00: Not to make anyone ashamed, not to judge, not to point fingers, not to condemn, but to create awareness.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_00: Because awareness is often the place where healing begins.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: You cannot heal what you refuse to acknowledge, you cannot change what you cannot see, and many times God lovingly reveals what has been hitting so he can begin restoring what has been hurting.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_00: So if you've been caring more than you let people see, if you've been feeling lonely, if you've been feeling exhausted, you've been feeling confused, questioning your worth, if you've been shrinking yourself to keep the relationships, or if you're just simply longing for a safe place to breathe, I want you to know this.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_00: You are welcome here.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_00: You are seen here, you're heard here, you're valued here, and most importantly, you are loved by God.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: Help is on the way.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_00: Not because I have all the answers, but because God is faithful, and I believe He is preparing something beautiful for the woman by the name of love, and he is gathering inside the vineyard.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_00: I thank you for being here.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_00: Until next time, I encourage you to just stay anchored in Christ and covered in love.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_00: Stay close to the vineyard, and we'll chat again soon.
