Fully Alive in Sacred Community | Elizabeth Oldfield

[instrumental music] And I suddenly had this very strong sense of vertigo.

Like, what is this? These spiky, painful, difficult to reconcile parts of this story that I thought I was living within is either complete fiction, or if it's not fiction, then God is not who I thought God was.

Oh, I've built my life on a lie, and I don't know where else to build it now.

There is a sense of, like, the only way out is through.

It doesn't all need to be tidy and neat, but that doesn't mean the love of God has gone away.

Welcome, everybody.

This is Simon Guillebaud with Inspired.

Great to be back.

Another fantastic week.

I'm really looking forward to this one.

Listen, I think if you, uh, if you're new to us, uh, we just...

Most of us, I, I think, would agree, we get relentlessly bombarded and immediately by 24/7 stuff that makes us cynical and anxious and depressed and negative and pessimistic.

And what we need is to, uh, definitely tune into a different narrative that brings hope and joy and encouragement and inspiration.

And this week, I've got no doubt you're gonna be inspired and encouraged because we've got with us the wonderful Elizabeth Oldfield.

Welcome, Elizabeth.

The real pleasure's mine.

So good to have you.
