Sifted Wheat
Sifted Wheat was created to bring conversation about relationships and real life situations. There is a lot of information available to us, a lot of opinions, but with Leslie’s combined experience of ministry and mental health, it’s designed to be a safe place to learn and to grow and to discover that we can heal. As humans we can go through a lot and pick up a lot along the way, and here we can explore what we need to hold us together, where we can be challenged to think differently, and how we can be encouraged to live an empowered life.

It can be easy to blame yourself, someone else, or even God for how you got to where you are. The problem is that easy isn’t always best. When you shift into blame over responsibility, it can set you up for failure and impede the process of healing. Listen to learn more about the result of blame and how to shift out of it!

This episode centers in on the process of sifting, what is the purpose? Who decides the process? Who even gives permission? Where does our past pain resurface to complicate matters, and how does that understanding empower us? We will look at Peter and Jesus (Luke 22:31-32) and Job to unpack some truths that might have formerly been hidden.
Scriptures to explore:
Luke 22: 31-32, Job, Psalm 51:10-13, and John 12:24

This episode explores where the Sifted Wheat podcast got it's start, and why it feels important to release it.
Have you ever been through a hard time, a difficult season, that brought life to a grinding halt? If you've been on planet earth long, you surely have, or will, or know someone who is going through what I refer to, thanks to a conversation with Jesus and Peter, being "sifted as wheat." I know firsthand how difficult that can be, and in this episode I open the space as a counselor and as a genuinely concerned human being by sharing how this podcast came to be, where you can find support in your struggles, and how my journey strengthened me to help you through your heartache and questions.
