"When we do our work to heal and to surrender to God's will, God then uses our past to help somebody else."   In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show, I am starting off sharing my story of the tough parts of growing personally, going through recovery, and how sometimes it's those really dark times that bring us the most important messages about ourselves. I don't hold back when it comes to my struggles with trust and getting close to people, all because of some rough stuff that happened in my childhood. Those experiences really molded how I see God. I'm a big believer in the idea that we should all have the freedom to explore and redefine what faith means to us. I want to get across that your faith isn't something static, but God is; it's this deeply personal journey that keeps changing and growing, just like we do.   Overall, I wanted to share that God came to me in my darkest moment, not because I prayed for help, actually I wanted nothing to do with God, but because there was a moment where He could access me, and He did. He will meet you where you are at too.    Connect with Me on Instagram  @korileigh | @korileigh.co    Episode Outline:  God Uses Our Mess as Our Message (00:02:05)  Personal Journey and Instagram Account Explosion (00:07:08)  Struggles with Submission and Trust (00:15:57)  Rock Bottom and Moment of Clarity (00:27:44)  Embarking on Sobriety and Faith (00:31:26)  Finding Hope and Transformation (00:36:01)  Returning to Original Roots and Faith Journey (00:41:27)  If you enjoyed this episode please share with someone you love, leave a rating & review, and follow so you are notified when a new episode drops!
