Embark on a heartfelt journey with us as Melanie Bower, my friend from Tasmania, unfolds her profound spiritual journey. This episode captures the essence of her transformative encounter with God during her adolescence, highlighting a school camp experience that became the cornerstone of her faith.
Our conversation meanders through the changing seasons of life, where we discover God's love as the beacon in our darkest times, offering sanctuary and healing for our deepest wounds. Drawing inspiration from a sermon series on Ephesians 3, she reflects on the nourishment that comes from immersing ourselves in Scripture.
The episode reaches its peak with a reflection on the spiritual meaning of "dwelling", as mentioned in Ephesians 3:14-21. We talk about the comfort of being in His sanctuary and the safety of mutual indwelling, supported by verses from Psalms and John. In the calm aftermath of life's chaos, we find comfort in God's plan, highlighting the value of community and the transformative impact of His boundless love and grace. Come with us as we explore these meaningful moments and discovering peace, even in challenging times.
Bio: Mel, originally from Sydney, now lives in a beautiful coastal town in Tasmania, Australia. She loves walking the local beach with her beloved dog Bruno. Mel has a passion to come alongside people to encourage them to draw nearer to God, to dive deeper into His Word, so they come to know our God as their loving Heavenly Father, Jesus as their Saviour, Redeemer and Friend, and the Holy Spirit as their Comforter and ever present help in time of need. This passion and calling comes from the overflow of her intimate relationship and her deep love for the Lord, where she delights in sitting at His feet, abiding in His presence, dwelling in His goodness, and living in His love.
