In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive deep into the often daunting topic of visibility, particularly within the context of the Christian life. As someone who has always had a love-hate relationship with being seen, I share my personal journey and the struggles that many of us face when it comes to putting ourselves out there.

I begin by discussing the common fears associated with visibility, including the anticipation stress that can overwhelm us before we even take action. I highlight how our nervous systems can create a predictive narrative that amplifies our anxiety, making it difficult to step into the roles God has called us to.

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I invite you to join me for a heartfelt conversation that aims to encourage and uplift, especially for the women listening. I share my personal journey, including the challenges I've faced, such as my experience with lung damage from pulmonary embolisms, which serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of self-awareness.

I delve into the subtle yet powerful thoughts that often plague women—feelings of inadequacy and the fear of voicing our struggles. Many of us harbor unspoken doubts and insecurities, believing that if we acknowledge them, we might have to confront uncomfortable truths. I emphasize the importance of bringing these feelings to the surface, as true healing begins with awareness.
