Friends, I’m excited and honored to bring you episode six–part two of Seed for the Soul. If you haven’t had a chance to listen to episode six–part one, Sacred Spaces: Suffering, Redemption, Writing, and Legacy, I encourage you to go back and listen—it will bless you!
In this episode, the conversation continues with Author and Poet Kimberly Phinney. The content is sensitive and powerful. And I am in awe of the Lord’s presence and how He moved during our time together. Kimberly unveils her traumatic experience of miscarriage, walking us through her poem, We Are Not Quiet. As she gently pulls back layers of the poem, we discover that we can be naked and unashamed before God. In this space, we experience the kindness of Jesus, as blood becomes ink on the page—noting that even in death, in Him, there is life.
Here, we hold space for anyone walking through loss. It is an opportunity for us to sit with you and for you to be held by God's goodness and kindness through Kimberly’s journey. This balm for the brokenhearted demonstrates how, as we surrender our pain to Jesus, He gently grows our faith into a space where we can create and allow the light of His glory to be the overwhelming testimony.
It's authentic, visceral, guttural. Therefore, I ask that you tread lightly, depending on where you are in your healing process. Take your time walking with us.
The conversation is in no way meant to wound but to minister to the collective experience known as suffering and breathe hope by knowing you are not alone. Jesus is in the midst of your pain; nothing is hidden from Him. He is there and desires to heal you, giving you beauty for ashes. Thank you for listening.
