Nick and I have been going through the Re:Generation program and leadership training with Love Remained Ministries since January. We were invited to join them to go through the program and eventually be leaders in the upcoming release of the program in September.
While I knew I needed it, I was also terrified. I’d tried (and failed) many times to read the Bible, to understand what it meant to give up my will to God, to be a good Christian. I didn’t feel like I qualified to be a leader in a program like this. Not in any way, shape or form.
But I knew I needed a change. I knew I needed something different.
I am a self proclaimed workaholic. I work far too long during my days, always looking for the next business idea or way to make money. Because I also worry entirely too much about money… how much we have, will we have enough, can we do this, can we do that. So much so that I tend to hoard it and not spend or give as I should.
I also simultaneously fear success AND failure (I’m still trying to wrap my brain around this one). I’m so scared of failing at things or feeling like I’m not enough that I often don’t even want to try new things.
At the same time, I’m terrified of being too successful. How do I handle it? What would that look like? Would I be able to steward it well? What would people think if we were successful?
As we’ve gone through the program and the steps week after week, I’ve learned I had so much more to unpack. There have been so many tears, so many emotional releases, so much I’ve learned about myself and about God.
What I’ve mentioned above was just the part of the iceberg I could see and feel!
For you see, Re:Generation is a program designed to help you with your addictions… with your sins. To help you get the help you may have been looking for and not known where to look. I know this was me.
I knew I needed guidance and help, but ultimately what I needed was God. There are no words that I can use to adequately describe what this program has done for me, has given me, and really, what this program has taken away.
I am so thankful we were invited in. I am so thankful we said yes. And I am beyond excited for its release in September.
If you or someone you know is interested in learning more, please reach out. I’d love to chat more with you about it. It truly has been life changing for Nick and I.
And if there is anything specifically you’d like me to pray about for you, send me a DM.
I love y’all. Have a great week.
We’ll see you in the gym!
