Finding Strength in Vulnerability: Embracing the Power of Asking for Help

For me to have my most basic needs met, I had to hide parts of myself to survive. Instead of asking for the help that I actually needed, I taught myself to put on the armor of god and learn to push forward as best I could manage.
Do you find it tough to ask for help? James Powell knows exactly how that feels. In this eye-opening episode of 'This Little Light of Mine', James reflects on his lifelong struggle with seeking assistance. He shares candidly about how fear and societal pressures often kept him from reaching out, believing that asking for help would only lead to more pain.
James challenges us to rethink our views on vulnerability and strength, especially when it comes to emotional and spiritual well-being. James dives into his personal journey, revealing how he learned to embrace his need for support. He discusses the transformative power of surrender and the importance of connecting with like-minded individuals who can offer guidance and encouragement.
This episode isn't just about asking for help; it's about recognizing the beauty in our own unique journeys and the divine creation that each of us represents. Throughout the episode, James touches on how trauma impacts our decisions and why it's crucial to create a personal recovery plan that prioritizes mental, emotional, and spiritual health. He also gives a sneak peek into an upcoming interview with Dr. Mike Rosebush, promising a fascinating discussion about navigating life as a gay Christian.
If you've ever felt alone in your struggles or hesitant to reach out, this episode is a must-listen. It's a heartfelt reminder that asking for help is not a sign of weakness but a step towards healing and growth.
