Whether they had it, whether they didn't, whether I have it or not, like I was like, I feel it kind of brings me a little comfort, knowing that those things are kind of a shield of protection, something I can actually physically do.
When the world first started grappling with social distancing, Steph and Beth were right there with everyone else, navigating the uncertainties. In this episode of 'Discovering Our Scars', recorded on March 25, 2020, the hosts dive into their initial experiences of staying home during the early days of the pandemic. Steph poses a thought-provoking question to Beth, a pastor, about the notion that some people believe they don't need to take precautions because God will protect them. Beth's response?
A resounding no to the idea that this is divine judgment. Their conversation weaves through the delicate balance of faith and science, shedding light on how both can coexist in times of crisis. The duo also opens up about how the pandemic has disrupted their daily lives—working from home, homeschooling, and adjusting routines. Despite the upheaval, they find solace in small, actionable steps to safeguard themselves and others.
This episode also features Questions for Reflection, encouraging listeners to pause and think about how social distancing has impacted their own routines and mental health. Tune in for a candid discussion that blends personal anecdotes with broader insights, offering a comforting sense of community during uncertain times.
