Join the continuation of Kristel’s pursuit of her ultimate truth as she shares her testimony and biggest revelations discovered from her fast. How do we deal with conflicting beliefs? Where do we find our truths? And is it possible for more than one truth to exist? Tune in as Kristel dives deep into these topics and more in this episode. So if you are feeling lost or in doubt of yourself or what you believe in, know that you are not alone! Start your own path to finding your personal truth with Kristel today. 

 

KEY POINTS / MAIN TAKEAWAYS:

The importance of speaking and standing in your truth.  Navigating differences in everybody’s truth.  What do you do with the truths that don’t serve you?  The text message that impacted Kristel.  Where do you find your truth?  The key to real intimacy with your loved ones. 

 

QUOTABLES:

“If Christ is the truth, and if everybody's truth looks differently, then is it possible that Christ can show up in our lives differently?”

“The only place to find the truth is inside of you. And you need to block out all of the distractions from everything and everybody and go within for a while.”

 

Text message I mentioned in the episode from my karate sensei who I love, respect:

Kristel,

I have been thinking about you and what little I know of your struggles, I can relate and extrapolate where your coming from..

In my mind, Patriarchal Christianity very often is driven by women. I think the un-talked about piece is fear of liberation. Freedom is scary for those who only know what it feels like to be controlled. Seems to me, you have journeyed through liberation in a myriad of areas in your own personal life and want to share in the new found freedom with others, problem is so many people, male/female alike, they just ain’t ready! People fear change because it requires responsibility, responsibility requires confidence and many, many people run around this earth with a very serious emotional disease, they misconstrue confidence and pull confidence from some really interesting spaces. It’s falsified confidence. Those people are usually the biggest proponents resisting change that levels the playing field.... female sexuality in your situation. In essence, your challenging an entire historical system of feminine oppression. Ain’t no way in hell, your not going to get push back and harsh criticism!

Question is, how convicted are you in your willingness to journey this/these convictions? Be bold. Be unapologetic. How do we discover if we quit the journey?

I don’t usually give advice. I just advise in my own way through teaching karate, but one thing I feel convicted to say...

I heard you say something along the lines of “devil and evil spirits”.... try not to get lost in that lie. Keep in mind God loves justice for ALL his children. We need confident women, convicted of the meaning of justice to be the torch carriers of female liberation. We won’t always get it right, but still we fight. We make mistakes physically, spiritually and theoretically, but we don’t bend under resistance. We may have to alter a few things, seek guidance... but, your core conviction is your mission statement. I often hear it said, true leaders dare to hope...freeing women from chains is an admirable and necessary mission.

Just consider the counter reality, could it be others that fear liberation that are being effected and affected by the other side (fear),not the side of light and truth? It’s not you girl. Shine your light so others will follow…

Check out “Christian Feminist Liberation Theory”or just plain “liberation theory”.

P.S. Not that you asked for my opinion, but one more idea... I don’t think it’s food you need to fast from... it’s social media and conversation. I think you need to “live inside you” for a bit. Life happens with in you, not outside of you.

Just my concerns and thoughts...
