    Wounded And On The Run: Interview with Leonie Schlosser

    Today I'm chatting with my good friend, Leonie Schlosser about overcoming church hurts and wounding. Leonie shares some of her struggles about feeling seen and included and how the rejection from other believers effected her faith. However, through the power of grace and forgiveness she was able to stop running and let Jesus use these experiences to see other Christians who are struggling in this area. This healthy conversation around a subject that isn't always spoken about in church circles sheds light where there has been only darkness. If you find yourself running away from church or have felt rejected and misunderstood, then today's podcast is for you.

    The Narrative Of An Anti-Hero

    So, you've been going along quite nicely in your leadership walk and then all of a sudden, BOOM! God asks you to do something. However, you're not keen and it's making you want to run in the other direction! As leaders, we want change, we want to see change, and yes, we want to be the change. And yet, God will send a storm and a whale to change us from the inside out first so that the chaos inside of us develops into peace.

    But We Tell A Different Story...

    Kicking off the Spacious Room leaders talk podcasts for 2024, is my dear husband, Philip Parker. From leadership in the Royal Navy, to the market place, and leading teams in church life, he shares his nuggets of wisdom on how and why good team building is an important part of leadership. "Valuing the person rather than the job" is Philip's way of telling a different story, as coming alongside someone and discipling them helps them to believe in themselves.

    Then There Was The Voice Of God

    We pray and we listen. We position overselves to hear the voice of God. We feel His presence when He speaks to our void, vacant spaces. He takes us on a journey and shares His dreams for our lives. He takes our inadequacy, our loss, our sinful ways, and moulds them into something beautiful and good.
