Hey, I'm Amy LeSage, and I invite you to come alongside me as I share how God is transforming my perspective on myself and the world around me, all while teaching me to walk in faith with HIM, one day at a time.It's been almost 2 years since I felt a calling ​on my heart to do this podcast. ​So it's no secret how long it's taken me to finally hit record. ​Admittedly, I tried really ​hard to twist this show into what I ​thought it should be ​while also sprinkling in parts of what I felt HE envisioned.​ I have since come to the conclusion that His vision​ is always better than my own, regardless of how uncomfortable it might make me feel. ​Since that call in 2023, I have been flooded with ideas, concepts, and realizations that I know aren't my own, which I'm eager to share with you. I will also share personal life stories, both past and present, as I reflect on what God's trying to teach me. In full transparency, this is not a show where I'll be telling you how I got it perfectly right. Quite the opposite, actually. I feel like I'm being called to tell you how I got it wrong and how God's working in my life to help me do better. Starting with my WORTH. (maybe now you can understand my hesitancy in hitting record...lol) I have only begun to scratch the surface of how this one word has played a massive role throughout my earthly life and, to my surprise, my spiritual life. This podcast is for anyone struggling with self-worth due to negative self-talk. It's for those who feel pulled into the chaos of what the world is saying and what human nature is feeling, versus who you strive to be as a follower of Christ. If you're having difficulty hearing God's voice amidst the daily noise, this podcast is for you. It's also for you if you're searching to partner with God, rewrite the script in your mind, and build a deeper relationship with Him—one that positively influences multiple, if not all, aspects of your life. I pray this podcast finds you where you are and sparks something in your journey. I pray we can share in our growth as we walk together on this new path with Him.If that speaks to you in any way, or if you know someone who may need to hear this, I hope you will pass it along. I encourage you to hit play, and let's get started! There's a lot to do. I'll see you in there!
