LayD Talks!

This brief episode contains my thoughts on the shortcoming of the church. Not the building and not on individuals, but rather the body. *UNRELATED: this is officially Ep. 2 of Season 5.

No, no one decided to get a big chop but this conversation definitely was a big chop for me. I was nervous, but so appreciative of @reelzcutz for allowing the space for this conversation to be had. For full context: I said I'd pay for my friends to get in {to a club} and drink so that they/we don't have an obligation to talk to someone they/we don't want to.

Am I alone in this, or do you have a desire to be perfect? Do you know where that thought comes from?? No? Me either. Let's figure it out together.

Often we hear the saying, "Let go and let God," but what does that really mean? Of course it's a song, yet and still some of us have an interesting time comprehending what it means to let go let alone let God. On tonight's episode of Confessions of A Lay D™ are going into a small pool of depth* about what it means to Let Go that allows the listener to feel understood in their current or past situations. As the episode continues we confront the reality of the inability to let go. It's okay! You are not alone and there is a powerful few how-to's on letting go. If you want someone to stand in the gap with you while you are on the road to letting go of the toxic things/people/places in your life feel free to contact me via a message through the Anchor app or on Instagram @alayshiadenise.
