Leslie Begin - Anchored in Hope

Описание: What if the weight you carry isn’t just on your body, but on your soul? We sit down with Leslie to trace a gripping arc from teen faith and a home marked by illness to a marriage rocked by addiction, and how the Holy Spirit turned panic into peace. Leslie’s story isn’t polished; it’s practical. She talks about losing 45 pounds after four kids in six years, then realizing the bigger shift came when she stopped using Oreos to numb the ache and started letting Jesus comfort places snacks never could. That moment launched 13 years of coaching where clients arrive for a number on the scale and end up shedding the weight of shame, control, and isolation through community and surrender.

You’ll hear a powerful redemption metaphor: the arcade ticket counter. We come to God with tickets labeled guilt, resentment, and addiction, assuming they’re worthless. He trades them for joy, peace, and strength. Leslie breaks down a simple trigger-to-prayer practice that turns chaos into clarity: pause, ask what the enemy is attempting, ask what the Lord is doing, and partner in prayer. Triggers stop being invitations to intensity and become information that restores intimacy. Along the way, we dig into why small groups change lives, how vulnerability builds trust, and what it looks like to lead from strength while connecting through honesty.

We also share our three pillars for lasting growth: read Scripture daily, root in a Bible-believing church for a year, and join a small group that tells you the truth in love. For women navigating addiction in the home, parenting teens, or private grief, Leslie offers a lifeline: peace is your inheritance, not a negotiation. Open your hands, surrender what you cannot carry, and ask the Holy Spirit to dwell and guide.
