"Being Seen" with JennyQ

EP11: “Being Seen with Gratitude” with John Roedel

JennyQ (Jennifer Quinn) Season 1 Episode 11

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
