I have the privilege of sharing my friend Connie Lemois today with you. We met a little over a year ago working together with Women Speakers Collective and have become fast friends. After hearing Connie's story I knew you need to hear about how God is so faithful in bringing reality into perspective.
In this conversation, Connie Lemois shares her journey of navigating out of a second-hand faith into something more. She emphasizes the importance of understanding one's own narrative and not letting external influences dictate one's faith. Connie recounts her experiences of God's faithfulness, including a transformative trip to Thailand and the unexpected blessings that followed her prayers. She also discusses the joy of building a new family and how God's love and redemption reshaped her own life.

Reflection Questions
Connie talked about the narrative, have you understood your own personal narrative and how that can draw you closer to Jesus.
Is there a space you have become a professional chameleon, maybe you are triggered by something in the past or it is a habit you didn’t know was there.
