    Ep 19 • Worthy of Love: My Battle with the Spirits of Rejection & Offense

    Join Amanda as she shares her deepest personal struggle with rejection & offense. Amanda shares deep wounds from adolescence into adulthood and how the enemy has used those experiences to try to keep her bound and deceived. Through her journey she has come to understand the freedom available in Christ and how to hold onto that and walk in the fullness of her identity as a child of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’” – Romans 8:15 “But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,” ‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭12‬ ‭ESV‬‬ “I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬-‭21‬ ‭NLT‬‬
