Sin can be sneaky; one choice can lead to a series of devastating habits that unravel good things in your life.

You don’t want to miss this powerful God Hears Her conversation.

Notes and Quotes:

“It is all about Jesus, but somewhere along the line, people hurt us, so we stopped believing the truth and started believing lies. We started living through this filter that we weren’t supposed to be living through.” —Ashley Jameson

“We need to go back to the beginning to figure out what happened that made us stop believing what God says about us and understand our value in Christ.” —Ashley Jameson

“Bringing your mess to the church is something that is becoming more and more acceptable, but it still has so many challenges.” —Eryn Eddy Adkins

“I can’t expect perfection; I can’t idolize my husband. He is his own messy person with his own messy relationship with God.” —Ashley Jameson

“Give yourself space. Know that if both of you are willing to do the work, it will absolutely change. It will be radically different, and it won’t always hurt as much as it does now.” —Ashley Jameson

“When God says that He can transform you by the renewing of your mind, that is very real. You do not have to feel this way.” —Ashley Jameson

Verses:

Romans 12:2
