And I was like, oh, we in your Luke broke the crock pod accidentally and my oldest said,

you didn't even freak out, Mom.

And I'm like, yeah, no, let's celebrate.

Let's have a party.

And then my middle, she's not really my middle, she's my baby, Katie.

Katie said, why does you not freak out?

And Luke says, because God changed her.

You clear as day that I, kids recognize.

My reactions are different than what they used to be.

And that is two reasons.

I unloaded everything that was the trigger from my past with the Lord and through counseling.

And see, in the counseling process, God was drawing upon the scriptures I had been spending

years studying that had it made any sense to me.

So that daily discipline of being in the Word and being in Bible study ended up becoming

a well that the Lord is able to draw from to change how I would see life.

You're listening to episode 99 of the God Center Mom podcast with me, Heather McFaddean

and today I'm chatting with Elisa Polium, the author of the new book, Meet the New You,

which is releasing December 15th.

Now, throughout the interview, I call her Lisa.

That was on purpose, her request.

And you'll find out why she has two names that she uses.

Now, Elisa is an awesome girl.
