You're like, no, no, you go ahead. Just for me, just hearing you, it just relates because I'm a new Christian and I felt that same way. I didn't want to come to Christianity because I thought there were all these rules and I thought I'm in this place in my life. Why would I lay down how I've been living my whole life?

And then when I got to see God, when I really got to understand his love, like I got to see him as father. which caused me to have this love in my heart to say, you love me so much. You have loved me through every single foolish moment. You even gave me Girls Gone Bible when I was reading the Bible and I knew your word, but I was still continuously falling. But you still loved me so much.

When we all start to look at it like it's rules and laws, it then shows you that, no, this is actually freedom. When I decided to lay down the things that I thought I could never give up, that was freedom. I come from the world. I wasn't raised in Christianity. I didn't have mentors.

Him, me following this thing and laying down everything that I thought I could never give up was freedom in my life. I never thought I could have rest in my life like I do. I never thought I could have this peace. I grew up in chaos, dysfunction, hell my whole life since I was a little girl. And I start following this thing and it starts healing my mind. It's freedom.

No, it's so true. Like praying for them and praying for With them and for them, I had a moment where, because my parents don't come from faith at all, and my mom was really struggling, and so I just went to bat for her every morning. Lord, please, please. And then all of a sudden, she calls me one day. She goes, you won't believe this. I feel so good today. And I just went to church.

But you know why you have that peace? Because it's a peace of God because you came honestly. Like, that's when I always have peace is when I come honestly and raw. It's not when I have a facade up. It's when I bring it to his feet with honesty. Because the truth is, is I'm curious about that too. And there's nothing wrong with that. I'm proud of you.
