Gut Instinct, My Spiritual Journey Part 2
Nov 16, 2023 Season 1 Episode 22
Jessica Ash

Last week I shared about my spiritual journey and when we left off, I was entrenched in my bitterness and overwhelming disappointment with the church. I had lost all trust in myself as well as in this institution that had been a huge part of my life.

Which leads me to this week and the resources I’d promised to provide for how I dug myself out of that place. First of all, it took a while, but as my body and soul started to heal, I realized that God had never left me.  

God did not leave me when I was in the deepest dark night of my soul. He was there holding me and waiting for me to reach back out.
 

My path to healing was a ton of time spent trying to better understand who God is. My constant companion was the request that He reveal himself to me. For me, that revelation happened as I dug deeper into the words of the Bible and the history surrounding the events that are depicted. 

He is. In His own words, He simply is. Which means that He is energy and matter and He is in everything that we see and experience around us. The Bible actually says that quite frequently but it’s more than this great being in the sky lording His will over us. 

He is truly within us and is teaching us through our own experience and intuition. Not quite sure what I mean? Listen to hear all about what I learned and why our greatest resource when trying to heal from trauma is to relearn how to listen to our gut. 

In this episode:

[00:00:35] Welcome back to part two of my spiritual journey. 
[00:03:33] Before anything else, allow yourself space to surrender and find your trust. 
[00:05:42] When you’ve been brainwashed you have to relearn how to feel and follow your gut.
[00:10:10] Experiencing life is experiencing God. 
[00:12:05] Why I call God, “he”. 
[00:18:54] Have you really studied Jesus’s life and understand what it means to follow Him? 
[00:22:00] Learn more about the history of Zoroastrianism and the correlation with Christianity. 
[00:28:42] Magi were people who were committed to the worship of one God and they bowed down to Jesus as their God and king. 
[00:35:54] Then comes Jesus born in the lowest of low positions but meant to be so much more.
[00:38:49] As Jesus grows up you see that he stands out because he’s a boy who survived mass slaughter. 
[00:41:40] Leadership of the day is extremely threatened by Jesus and His message. 
[00:53:58] Because you live you are a temple for the spirit of the Lord. 
[00:57:15] Wherever you’re at in your spiritual journey, you already have the truth within you. 
[01:05:07] One last story to leave you with as we close out season one.
