Dr. Mo is celebrating six years of God’s faithfulness to the work of the podcast! Today, we continue to discuss Dr. Mo’s hesitation to do the work of the podcast. She discusses how her hesitation was rooted in social rejection and fear.

Dr. Mo reads from Exodus 3:6-12 and compares her journey with Moses as they both question God by asking “who am I”. She quotes Dr. Aimie Apigian in her book the “Biology of Trauma” as she explains how our fears and past traumas can cause us to not feel adequate to do the work of God. Dr. Aimee states “emotional pain that feels unbearable is processed as an inescapable life threat. Social rejection and shame can exceed our capacity just as quickly as the physical dangers of an oncoming car.”

Tune in to this episode as we think about how God called Moses back to himself, back to God, and back to the place where he fled because of traumatic life experiences. During this season of Lent, think about how God might be inviting you in ways that seem confusing but are possibly redeeming.
