EP11: “Being Seen with Gratitude” with John Roedel

John Roedel is a comic, husband and father of three boys based in Wyoming who began talking with “God” in 2015 on Facebook about his ongoing faith crisis. What began as a flippant way of making light of his doubts in the Divine turned into something he wasn’t at all prepared for: God wrote back. 

In This Episode:

• When the weight of family circumstances hit… hard
• How ‘Conversations with God’ started
• Allowing himself to physically feel the emotions when writing
• Letting go of the shame of what other people are going to think if you let someone read what you’ve written
• The importance of having a safe person or the support of a community to share your scars with
• Remembering to breathe and not miss the miracle of the moment right now
• John’s ‘being seen’ moment that was tragic and profound
• Being thankful for the lessons learned every day
