In this episode of 12-Minute Convos with Jesus Believers, Engel Jones connects with Leah Chrest from Maryland on the East Coast of the United States. A special educator and mother to a beautiful blended family, Leah vulnerably shares her journey of navigating profound grief after the sudden passing of her first husband over four years ago. She opens up about how God miraculously restored her life, leading to her remarriage and the beautiful, lively dynamic of raising four children.
Listen in as Leah discusses her passion for the contemplative movement and the vital importance of Christians taking time to meditate and sit in silence with the Lord. She explains how completely surrendering her ego allowed the Holy Spirit to pour through her, leading to her role as a lay preacher and the creation of her YouTube channel for Christian meditation. If you are struggling to find stability in a chaotic season, Leah’s profound reminder to anchor your life in prayer and fully surrender to God's unimaginable plans will deeply anchor your soul!
