As we navigate the winding roads of life, there are times when we get caught in a storm of shame. This episode provides a beacon of hope in that dark territory. Our guest, Tess Scott, sheds light on her journey from societal outcast to finding solace in Jesus. She shares the strategies she used to conquer the shame of multiple divorces and remarriages, allowing us to understand that we, too, can harness the power of God, even in our moments of brokenness and imperfection.Let's face it, in the tug-of-war between God's truth and the enemy's lies, the battlefield is our mind. But what if we could tip the scales in our favor? Tess instructs us on the importance of filling our minds with God's word, the ultimate truth. She points to the discernment of biblical truths from toxic affirmations, fuelling our journey in overcoming the enemy's deceit. This journey is not a solitary one. Together, we speak God's truth, we claim his victory, and we deny the enemy a foothold in our lives.Life, they say, is a journey best shared. Tess illustrates the significance of genuine relationships and the accountability they bring. She shows how these relationships are a safe space where we can eliminate shame and guilt, where we can be reminded that we are not defined by our past but by God's grace. Alongside these, Tess emphasizes the power of forgiveness and the healing it brings. It's time to stop navigating life on our own. We are all on this journey together, bound by a common thread of beautifully flawed lives seeking God's grace. Let's take this journey together, one footstep at a time.Meet Tess: Tess Scott is a Christian speaker, an award-winning author, and a former black sheep turned “Jesus Girl.” With humor and vulnerability, this Canadian mom of 8 has lived through multiple divorces, married her husband twice, and raised a whole brood of boys which only goes to prove God is full of grace and mercy.

Listen, Sister! Embrace Imperfection with Tess Scott My heart has been so encouraged by my guest, Tess Scott. I love, love, love how she embraces her imperfections. Tess is the founder of Listen Sister, a ministry with a focus on encouraging women through what she calls, the freakshow of life. Using her message of encouragement Tess has written a book titled, Listen Sister! Finding Hope in the Freakshow of Life. I am always in awe of women who have the ability to make peace with their imperfections. They're able to fold all of their failures and embarrassing moments into the storyline of their life. In her book, that's exactly what Tess does. She shares real stories that are simple, everyday life experiences, good and bad, embarrassing, empowering and she reveals the beauty in the ordinary. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll cringe and you'll leave with your heart having experienced a deeper revelation of God's goodness. What an interesting life Tess has lived and we touched on a little bit of each phase. Tess says she's the black sheep turned Jesus girl. She has 8 children ....all boys....8 boys.....I even tell her I wouldn't want to clean that bathroom! She's been married 4 times, two of which were to the same man. God reunites her with her husband (in her fourth marriage), and all seems like it's back on track and then she's diagnosed with breast cancer. So instead of a romantic new marriage they begin going to the cancer hospital, visits, radiation, mastectomy. It might be hard to imagine but her complicated life story is full of God's extravagant grace, and mercy. I hoping that all who have the opportunity to read her book, listen to her wherever she speaks or follow her on social media will adapt her attitude about life's challenges and maybe borrow her courage if they need to in order to heal and move past their regrets and shame. The courage it takes to share the embarrassing aspects of your life is one thing but to share the things that were your fault....I don't know about you but that would be a hard one for me. To expose my shame and regret to strangers feels like I'm opening myself up to personal attacks. Maybe it's my background, where perfection was drilled into my being as the only acceptable result ...and trust me I get it, perfection is completely unrealistic ...God has brought me through, given me healing but I'd be lying if I didn't admit that sometimes it's challenged and I have to address those thought patterns with God. So my point being, who wants to purposefully invite ridicule? But that's not how Tess sees it. The only place where we're safe to expose ourselves in that manner with regard to shame and regrets, to be laid bare and vulnerable is with Christ. Once we settle our failures and shortcomings with Him no one else's opinion has any power over us. When we've transferred the pain and struggle of failure to God, laying that burden down, submitting it to His authority it no longer has the same affect on us....it doesn't hold any power over us anymore. God will never use it against us no matter how many times me return with an apology for the same thing. He'll never reject you. He'll never leave you. The only place that we can find the power and authority to take away our sin and to embrace a forgiveness that allows us to lift our heads under the weight of our decisions and to experience restoration is at the foot of the cross. Don't hesitate to lay your imperfections at the feet of Jesus. His blood on the cross is still as fresh for us today as it was over 2000 years ago. While we're still alive we have an opportunity to seek God's heart and find out what it means to walk in the freedom of who He is and what He's done. It's an incredible place to do life from.

Tess Scott is a Canadian Mom, Grami (with a heart over the i) and author, who learned to listen to what God wanted her to do...eventually. Her journey from the black sheep to "Jesus girl" brought her to a place of recognizing that it is ok to move forward even if you are scared. She talks candidly with Kim about her early life and not fitting in and how she filled the emotional gaps in her life with men, marrying several times, divorces, and how God turned her life around. Tess speaks with humor about her journey through re-marrying her ex-husband, breast cancer and a mini-stroke while realizing she needed to write a book to inspire other women. Her advice to herself and others will ring true with all who listen. Tess is an entertaining speaker and author whose book "Listen Sister: Finding Hope in the Freakshow of Life" is awesome!

Listen Sister! – Finding Hope in the Freakshow of Life Tess Scott pt 2 https://amzn.to/3MyjBmQ () I was raised in Michigan, and my grandparents lived on the St. Clair River.

Then we would catch the Ferry back (which just happened to be next door to my grandparents house)!

Listen Sister! – Finding Hope in the Freakshow of Life Tess Scott pt 1 https://amzn.to/3MyjBmQ ()I grew up outside of little town in Michigan called Marysville. This town, at the time, had about 4000 people in it. Our entire high school consisted of 713 people, all four grades. Our house was out in the country. There was a good ¼ mile between neighbors, except my great-grandmother and two uncles families that lived a couple hundred yards away. I spent many a day playing with my cousins. Since I was the oldest, playing with these “little kids” soon became boring and I learned how to entertain myself, playing out in the woods and things like that. I could even play an entire 9 inning baseball game, by myself, playing both sides – and sometimes lose to the “other me!” Anyway, my grandparents lived on the St. Clair River. Sometimes we would grab innertubes and they would take us several miles up the river and let us float down and across the mile wide river to Canada. Then we would catch the Ferry back (which just happened to be next door to my grandparents house)! The reason I'm sharing this little tid-bit of my history with you, is because our guest today lived something of the same life – and, she is actually from the city just across the river, where we would catch the Ferry home!  Sarnia, Ontario! Tess Scott is the founder of a great ministry called, “Listen, Sister! Encouragement Ministry” and the author of an absolutely fabulous book titled, you guessed it, https://amzn.to/3MyjBmQ (“Listen, Sister! Finding Hope in the Freakshow of Life!”)  It is a collection of short, funny stories pointing out how God works in the chaos of life.  I've read it and, I'm telling you – it is hilarious! Help me welcome to the program, all the way from Blue Water Country, Tess Scott!  Tess, thank you joining us today! Now, let me do a quick disclaimer here before we get started.  We are not doing this on purpose, it's just the way we were raised. But whenever two red-blooded Canadian backgrounded people get together, you are probably going to hear a few “eh's” flying around! Ok!  It's kind of like the “y'all's” when people from down south are talking. It's just part of the normal conversation, ‘eh!” Tess, usually the first question I start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Tess Scott?” How did you come up with the idea for this https://amzn.to/3MyjBmQ (book)? It's definitely, I'll say, “Hilariously different!” Why this type of https://amzn.to/3MyjBmQ (book) for this point in your life? I wish I could quiz you on every single story in your https://amzn.to/3MyjBmQ (book). I just laughed all the way through! One story from your https://amzn.to/3MyjBmQ (book) where I really laughed at, and it was probably because of my law enforcement back ground, was where your brother came to visit, unannounced. Can you share that with our listeners? Another story that caught my attention, since I'm also a private pilot, was when your father promised to teach you how to be a pilot. Care to share?

Listen, if you're on the brink of divorce, this is a story of the power of effective communication, hope and prayer.Bill and I are no strangers to communication miscues. I mean, when you spend more than eight years together with somebody not even factoring in that you have step-kids that you don't know what to do with, you will have some communication miscues!Rick & Tess Scott are no different.  His kids.  Her kids.  Their kids.  It wasn't as simple as "just joining a new family." In fact, it wasn't simple at all.  They married each other...twice.  The "gap years" in between showed them 2 key actions to take so you don't experience a re-divorce.  No topic is off limits - from the guilt and shame many stepfamilies experience, to the pain and perseverance related to divorce, to the need for forgiveness and communication while participating in the power of God's redemption.  Find Tess here online or join her FB group here.Be sure to email Tess at tess@listensister.ca for info on pre-ordering her book, Listen Sister, Finding Hope in the Freakshow of Life.Welcome to Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE!
