Doug was one of those kids who felt invisible, waiting for someone to notice him, and help him connect with those around him. Unfortunately it never happened. During his divorce, he had an experience that allowed him to see himself the way God saw him. With new perspective, and a change in thinking, Doug has gained new confidence that is helping him fulfill his purpose, his mission and make a difference to those around him.

In this episode, Lindy and Doug talk about:

  • Doug’s story of how he overcame his fears and struggles
  • The analogy of being rescued from a pit he could not escape alone
  • Why God did not answer his prayers the way we expected
  • Complex emotions, and being an empath.
  • What helped Doug to discover his purpose and mission.

Key Takeaways:

  • God always sees the big picture of who we are, and who are meant to be
  • There is always an opposite and equally emotion that we can experience
  • The “super power” of being an empath, is the ability to connect with others
  • God has the key to helping people escape those deep dark pits.
  • It’s overcoming the challenges in our life that often helps us step into who we were meant to be.

“I was that person at an event, in the shadows, by myself, that people ignored, …I would go home, feeling depressed, thinking ‘there’s another event that no one noticed me…’ Now, because I know who I am, and see how God views me, I have confidence… and no one else is going to go home the same way I felt…”  – Doug Rutherford
