Talk Therapy: 4 Things to Know When God Brings Things Up

Last week I released an episode on the first "before and after" in the Bible. As I started this conversation on beauty I realize I am ruffling feathers or as some would say, stepping on toes. Actually, it is not I who is doing the ruffling but the holy spirit. Before we keep having these hard conversations I wanted to address why I feel called to bring up hard things. 

If you listen to our Wednesday interviews, which I hope you do as we have the most amazing guests every week, you might have noticed I started saying a simple statement:

God brings things up because they are on the way out. 

Let's talk about 4 things to know when God brings things up:

• God brings things up because he loves us too much to let them poison us. (ex: eating bad food it must be thrown up) 

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Hebrews 4:12

• The coming up process is uncomfortable. Most people would rather sit in the pain they know than sit in the discomfort of the bringing up. 
• It’s on its way out! That’s good news. 
• Seek wise counsel. Get into a community. Don’t do it alone.
