Permission to Pause with Pat Layton
Join Author and Speaker, Pat Layton for a few minutes of hush in the middle of your hustle.
As a busy wife, mom, grandmother and international ministry leader, Pat understands how easy it is to get wrapped up in the messy of the day-to-day and miss the part that matters most. Our faith. Our rest. Our hope.
Let's protect a quiet pause to acknowledge and enjoy the presence of the very one who holds it all together.
This is a 10-15 minute devotional style podcast for women who love Jesus but struggle to find time to get away with Him.
Permission to Pause with Pat Layton
Episode 71: Pause and consider the Power of Trust: Sharing Our Stories without Shame
This episode, the last on my 2 year anniversary replays, was originally shared as Episode #4--just happening to be the 4th most popular episode over the past 2 years:
Pause and Find Strength in Your Secrets.
Everyone needs someone we trust and with whom we can share our story but our most important "share" is with Jesus! He will guide and direct us from there.
With God's help, we will find that someone, that friend, that counselor or mentor, who will listen and not judge.
We need someone who will keep our story confidential and who will pray with and for us. The more shameful our past seems the more desperate the need.
Because the very thought of surrendering our secret shame frightens us so, we need to FIRST pause in God's presence and consider what "sharing" does and does not mean.
In this episode of Permission to Pause, we dive deep into the bondage of secrets and how they can hold us back from experiencing true freedom in Christ.
We discuss how acknowledging these secrets and leaning on our faith can bring peace, hope, and restoration.
Join me in reflecting on the past, finding purpose in the present, and fueling our passion for the future.
