If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world. CS Lewis
About Jodi
Sometimes we hear better when we know the ground from which it grew!
For more than eighteen years now, I have had the honor of helping others as they sort through the various chapters of their lives. I consider it a true gift to listen and to come along side of them in this process. My own journey of healing has helped me to see the importance of doing the deeper work. From experiencing sudden and tragic loss, navigating grief, trauma and a dark night of the soul, my faith deepened and the lens in which I viewed life shifted to one of redemption and grace. It was in this process, the healing process, that I began to truly understand the words of the Great Counselor, “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
