#29 This Summer I Went Back To Counseling

This summer, I went back to counseling. My bodies going through menopause – and I need some help navigating what to do when I feel estrogen angry? I also needed help trying to figure out how to deconstruct some conservative evangelical beliefs I inherited while running a ministry. As one of my sage friends tells me, I'm not deconstructing; I'm just learning to change on the job. Working through my faith while speaking to your's ing is a serious business to me. I'm aware the power the one who holds the bible and declares, "thus says the Lord. That's a serious business. And I don't want to mess anyone up while I'm figuring out my stuff. So this summer, I went on a hunt. I needed someone who could understand the unique dynamics of being a pastor. I need someone who wouldn't talk Christianese to me or give me patten answers. I know my stuff, and I need someone who knew theirs. It took a few months, but I finally found this woman in Chicago. Turns out, one point in her career, she too had been a minister. I love it when Jesus does stuff like that. We talked, and she said two profoundly helpful things. I paid for them but gonna give them to you for free. Freebie.
