Athena Avellanet on Building a Genuine Connection with Jesus
“I've spent a lot of my life trying to fit into things, and overcoming this insecurity that I had growing, just feeling like who I was was not enough, and I know that part of the reason for that was, you know, my dad was in the home, but he worked a lot, and I now can look back and realize: wow, he loved me through provision.”
Athena Avellanet, a Bible teacher and devoted mother, joins Michaela Nikolaenko on this episode of 'Raised & Redeemed' to share her journey of growing up in the church but only later truly cherishing a personal relationship with Jesus. Athena opens up about her struggles with fitting in and recognizing her worth as a child of God, offering a heartfelt narrative that many can relate to.
The conversation dives into practical ways to approach quiet time with the Lord, meditate on His word, and grow deeper in faith. Athena and Michaela discuss the importance of focusing on God rather than oneself, documenting one's spiritual journey, and overcoming insecurities that may hinder a closer walk with Jesus. This episode is packed with valuable insights and practical tips for anyone looking to deepen their relationship with Christ.
Whether you're new to faith or have been on this path for years, Athena's story and advice are sure to inspire and encourage you.
