It was helpful to have a space to talk about different things in my life and have Gena help me recognize connections between my human relationships and my relationship with God. Overall, I think I am stronger and able to notice and respond to things quicker and with more clarity than I used to. ~Wendi
Having a dedicated time to be led toward Jesus in a way that I would not have capacity for on my own. ~Seth
Having time to slow down and think and reflect on where I see God active in my life and in the world and acknowledging that God is in all vs panicking about what is happening personally and globally. ~Diane
Meeting with Gena has been a process of remembering how close God is and how God is consistently working to speak to me and encourage and comfort me through various means. It’s taking the time to slow down, pay attention and learn to discern what is divine and what is distraction. That slowing and listening practice has been so helpful to my soul, and to reflect back on between our meetings. ~Abby
Gena was good about keeping the pace intentional and keeping us grounded and holding space for me. She did this by intensive listening, asking me questions and giving me space to explore. It didn’t feel like I was meeting with a clinician. But more like we were meeting as friends/ a sister in Christ which has added more depth in our meetings, (as opposed to a counselor). ~Wendi
"It means that we are willing to walk alongside another person in whatever journey they’re on without judging them, making them feel inadequate, trying to fix them, or trying to impact the outcome. When we hold space for other people, we open our hearts, offer unconditional support, and let go of judgment and control."
