It's really a wake-up call that both sides need to be more open-minded. You know wars are fought over love, but you don't hear about wars being fought over kindness, because kindness stops the need for war.
Imagine stepping away from everything you know to find a deeper connection with yourself and your faith. That's exactly what Marissa did during her six-month volunteer mission with Youth With a Mission (YWAM) in New Zealand. In this episode of 'AbbaDaddy House Girls Speak Out', hosts Annette Smith and Myrna Thatcher welcome Marissa to share her transformative journey of self-discovery and healing.
Marissa describes her time in New Zealand as a period of 'unbecoming' herself and growing into her identity as a daughter of God. Through discipleship training and open-air ministry, she learned to embrace vulnerability and let go of pride. One of the most touching aspects of her story is how her relationship with her biological father began to heal as she deepened her understanding of God as a loving Father.
Marissa also opens up about the profound joy she found in her faith, even experiencing a miraculous event involving a blind man. She challenges mainstream Christians to question why such miracles aren't more commonly seen. Throughout the episode, Annette and Myrna engage with Marissa on topics like the impact of 'father wounds' on one's spiritual journey, the importance of self-worth, and the sometimes painful experiences within church communities.
This episode is a heartfelt exploration of faith, healing, and the power of joy in one's spiritual journey. Tune in to hear Marissa's inspiring story and perhaps find a bit of hope and encouragement for your own path.
