Rewind about 4 years ago to when my dear friend Ketric Newell told me something I DID NOT want to hear..."Leanne your Self-Imaging curriculum is GREAT, but I don't want you to teach it to the teenage girls at The Teen Dream Center....YET."Ugggh! The nerve of him to tell me it wasn't ready --  or that I wasn't ready! (Or whatever I perceived him to be saying to me.)But now I can see that he had a VERY good reason to say that to me, and it was this: I was still teaching "self-love" and "self-worth" as something that you do (strictly) through your OWN strength. In other words, it was this hyper-independent reliance on SELF to do all the heavy-lifting. And yes I was a little bit "butt hurt" (as the kids say nowadays) when I first heard him say that, but that's only because I didn't yet GET IT!That is...until I DID get it.Because in a world that often encourages self-sufficiency, this concept of letting go and allowing God to take the lead can feel a little daunting (or if you're anything like me....totally FOREIGN!) But what if you could see it in a whole new light?If you think that asking for help is WEAKNESS (as I raise my hands in admission)If you struggle with this idea of surrendering your burdens over to God or a higher power (boy did I ever!)  If you constantly feel like you have to prove how strong, able, tough, or [fill-in-the-blank] you are (SEE ALSO: my entire life before I let God in)...Then you will LOVE this intimate sit-down with a man I describe as a humble, poetic, prophetic named Ketric. It's an invitation to simply try on a new definition of "surrender" and the profound impacts that can happen when you shift from self-reliance to God's guidance.HOST: @LeanneEllingtonGUEST: @KetricYou can find out more about Ketric and the Teen Dream Center here:https://www.ketric.tv/https://www.teendreamcenter.com/To learn more about Leanne, head over to www.LeanneEllington.com, and to share your thoughts, questions, feedback, or guest suggestions instantly, head on over to www.WhatsGodGotToDoWithIt.com.
