Fighting the absolute urge to run to the highest mountain (it's Florida, so use context here...) and stay a while in the Light and Love and Warmth of Full Attention and Acceptance. And yet...it's in the Valley where I make my home that I find Him in ways that make that mountain all the more special. When His Light shines out of my daily darknesses, that is where I most feel seen. Loved this piece of peace you wrote. Thanks.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Nadia! I love the truth and imagery in “it’s just dog whistles for my ego and empty calories for my insecurities”! I will definitely share this with my recovery family of “weirdos” whom I adore. Love you and your rawness in speaking your truth and reminding us that Divine Grace is shining ever bright!✨✴️💖
There are so many lines here worth to be underlined. Just this one: „…I assumed they were just Paul being a tiny bit arrogant again…“ ha! I am not alone with that thought. Thank you sister 🙏
And this one,„…And while I have indeed had God’s light shine in my heart, while I have indeed tasted and seen that the Lord is good, while I have indeed felt the terrible transformative mercy of God …“ pretty much sums up transfiguration for me 🥰
What a beautiful, thoughtful gift to give to a friend, Nadia. Your advice, your strength of faith, your trust, and your fears and doubts, too. You always give so much of your imperfect humanity, and that's lovely.
I'm crying. I so needed to hear this truth today. Your message of grace washed over me. Thank you for being the brilliant light of Christ to those you encounter.
“Demons that once were in charge now cower and beg for mercy. And sickness that seemed fatal is shed like skin. And sinners are forgiven.” The Demons also say, “yes” and are forgiven. They now joyfully sing the praises of God (Big G).
I both appreciated and truly enjoyed this, thank you Nadia.
And as you listed the 3 little “g” gods a few times, I was reminded of the 3 poisons in Buddhism: Greed, Hatred and Delusion. To which the antidote is the same in Jesus’ Church: the Lord, the Teachings, and the Community. Thanks be to God.
Thank you for this, especially re: the recognition of what the results of the small g's look like, how they manifest in in our thoughts, words and deeds. I am prone to look away and getting involved can seem so futile. Love your neighbor as yourself reads easy, why am I so lazy. This sermon contains what I need to hear and heed.
Great message Nadia. I look forward to going back to listen to it later as well (seemed to have misplaced my ear buds yet again😋). Thank you for your realness.
Wonderful sermon, Nadia! Also a thoughtful reminder of those small g’s, and how help is always on the way when we need it most. Thank you.

Thank you for offering me some full and reliable signs of Christ this morning.
From my perspective, it’s “yes” all the way.

Loved this sermon Nadia - especially resonant given the current state of the world and the need we have for God’s light to shine in the darkness.
Love this, Nadia.
Beautiful, powerful word. Just what I needed to hear.

Thank you! Those small g gods are in my ear too. What a surprise!

Oh Nadia, such a powerful sermon - and I take in your thoughts better on a second reading, and I am
sure I will read and reread. Thank You for this gift to us.
