Episode 8 - "Reframing Life" an interview with Colleen Swindoll Thompson
In this interview, Colleen walks Jonathan and Sarah through how to REFRAME life’s circumstances. It isn’t clean. It isn’t easy. It can often leave you feeling like your life is an HGTV home remodeling show but it leads to a deep healing that only God can provide.
“When you reframe, you say, ‘Let’s look at this situation another way’… Reframing doesn’t mean your circumstances change, your pain disappears, or the life you planned happens. It means you have the clarity to grow and thrive regardless of those circumstances. And no matter the issue, the reframing process begins and ends with your mind-set. Only God’s truth can help us see life clearly.””
