Let The Healing Continue
Brent Wolfskill
In light of the recent events impacting our nation, what advice would you give to people in order to help them navigate the uncertainty?Please share one or two available resources that can help people right now.
I would encourage people to remain faithful and to intentionally practice faith over fear during this season. There's a lot of fear out there if one chooses to plug into it, but we have an option of whether we choose to be afraid or to walk in faith. It really is a perspective. Limit your intake of news stories that promote fear. It's a balance of being informed versus being overwhelmed with opinions. Seek God through prayer, scriptures, song, meditation, or counseling. Make sure you are getting some exercise, stretching, doing calisthenics or hand weights in your home, outside in your backyard, or at a local park or field near your home.
Some good resources to use are the Bible app, YouTube, The Abide spiritual meditation app, Calm meditation app and Insight Timer meditation app. These are all great resources and tools for encouraging oneself intentionally on a daily basis. Seek outside counseling if you need someone to talk to and feel overwhelmed. Many providers are offering Telehealth counseling services during this pandemic if you don't want to go into the office
What is your personal mission in life?
To create, show and display love, peace and joy while continually pursuing all 3 and seeking life-long learning, guidance, knowledge and wisdom from the Holy Spirit of the universe.
What is one of the biggest challenges you have overcome?
Learning to love myself when I didn't feel worthy or lovable.
What is one action that helped you overcome this challenge?
I put intentional energy and study into learning what love truly was and started practicing self-love, forgiveness, gratitude and healing daily. A major part of this was developing a team and set of support tools.
How do you define leadership?
Being willing to go first and set a God like standard / path / example for others to follow through mentorship / discipleship that helps them to experience their own greatness.
What advice would you give to anyone ashamed to share their story?
There is power in sharing our testimonies. It is a form of praise and honor to God. It is also a way we can encourage others who are going through tough times and life trials to remain faithful and have hope.
