It was nice to have a woman's perspective in this chat! I see God's strong presence in each of you and absolutely loved hearing your old conflict of people pleasing to keep the peace. Those are words right out of my past life story as well. Secondly, I also struggled with not being 100%truthful in relationships I didn't want to lose. I'm certain many of the viewers resonated with those struggles too. So glad you were there Paola... to share your stories too!❤️🙏

What a great prayer "chat", with very thought provoking questions which I will have to ponder for a time. As recognizing when I am lying to myself, it varies depending on what lie I am telling myself..sometimes its quick, other times its a bit longer. The more I come to understand God's truth and love I realize the lies quicker. Lately I have been filling my mind and heart with self doubt and feelings of not being worthy. I have been praying about it, reminding myself that God has a plan and purpose for me, I just need to trust His plan.

I would also like to request prayers for my son, he has been dealing with some health issues, doctors can't find cause of his problems. He has a cardiologist appointment next week...he is only 50, too young for issues. Thank you for your prayers.

Thanks Donny, Graham, Paola, Kerry for taking time on your vacation to record this wonderful prayer chat. Blessings to all!

Great conversation and questions to think about. Paola, I have experienced many of the driving incidents you mentioned as a vehicle pulls in front of me and I have to slow down. I ask myself if God or my Guardian Angels did that to protect me?

A quick story - my son was driving a 5 hour drive to see his girlfriend after work for Valentine’s weekend. His truck overheated, he stopped for a break and it overheated again. He was calling me getting more and more frustrated throughout the evening.

I told him to turn around and go home, there was a reason he was not supposed to be on the road that night. It was after midnight and he had only gone 1/3 of the trip. After turning around and going home, he found out there was a multi car wreck ahead of him and he would probably have been involved in it if he had not stopped due to motor issues.

I get emotional every time I think about that night and how his guardian angels protected him. 🙏

Thank you Donny, Kerry, Graham, and Paola for an insightful discussion. 🤗

What a great gathering of friends peeling back the layers of understanding about life and God and our relationship to him and to others. You always ask thought provoking questions and it was fun to hear the different perspectives. I especially enjoyed Kerry looking at creation from God's viewpoint. That guy has a way of making me think deeper. It's pretty easy to lie to ourselves but I personally believe that the more we understand God's truth, the less we will lie to ourselves about who we are. If we can see ourselves through God's eyes, we understand that we are not Him, but we are made in His image for His good purposes and He sees us as His delights. Thanks for sharing your Mexico time. I need to listen to this one again to take in all the wisdom!

Thank you all, Donny, Kerry, Graham and Paola, for this beautiful prayer walk “fireside chat”. You shared so much wisdom, love and faith through your words, and from various perspectives. I really resonate with Paola’s comments about lying to yourself to keep the peace because I used to do that. I finally faced the reality of what I was doing and said, no more. I have definitely felt more peace since that day. I love the relationships you have all developed and your respect for each other and your varied opinions. I admire each of you and wish you many blessings. May each of you continue to grow closer to God. 🙏🥰

Donny, Graham, Kerry, and Paola - thank you for a most interesting and thought provoking prayer walk. I think what hit me most was the question and the conversation I heard around "what is the lie or better yet recognizing when or how we lie to ourselves or maybe others?" I resonated with Paola's sharing about lying to herself to please others. For me I did that through people pleasing for years off and on to gain the validation and if I'm being completely honest the attention I was craving from others instead of going directly to God during those times. I sought the validation from others instead of God's. Mind you, I didn't do this all the time, but the times I did over the years, I ended up being hard on myself thinking I was not good enough, while also feeling unloved and unworthy. It took years to get to the point to recognize I was the root cause. After walking through the disorientation of facing this head on, God has blessed me now to use my story to help others. Like you Donny, I am only able to do any of this by taking it straight to God, confessing and repenting of my sinful ways, asking for His forgiveness and also asking God to also help me forgive myself for all the guilt and shame I carried over the years. Self-forgiveness I believe is also necessary to stop the lies we tell ourselves. I'll leave it there. Thank you again Donny, Graham, Kerry, and Paola for sharing. God bless each of you and to all those that watch.

Thank you guys for sharing this prayer walk. After listening to all, I am definitely a people pleaser. I enjoy helping others. But does that mean I am lying to myself? Not sure !something I’m going to think about for a while. Struggling to figure out who I really am. Have been reaching out to God more lately for guidance for what is next in my life.

I also wanted to add that as a child I lied to myself & others about the family situation, due to trauma. For me, I would create a lie, not only to protect myself, but to have a picture of what I really wanted this person to be. Though I knew this was an impossible reality. I lied to others, to cover what was really happening behind closed doors. Thinking of protecting my family, but inflicting more pain on myself. These lies were instantly recognisable, became automatic in the end. It was only when the truth was revealed that I didn't have to tell these lies anymore. In the end these lies hurt much more, mentally, from years of denying the truth. Other lies came from this programming in order to keep the peace & people please. It took decades before I finally allowed myself to put myself first & trust myself to make things better in my life & not pander to others. To allow myself to have an opinion.

Thank you Donny for having Kerry, Graham & Paola join you in this conversation.

You've received amazing insight, Christine, of such painful times in your life. It makes me think of the quote in the Bible, "Then you will know the truth and the truth shall set you free." The truth that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life and the truth that when God exposes the darkness and shines His light on painful memories and sin, there is healing and freedom.

WOW. What a powerful conversation!

Donny, it's so good to see you putting into practice what God has entrusted to you, "Mobile Ministry Prayer Walk", that's it: GO and TAKE the Good News anywhere and to everyone.

Kerry, you made so many important considerations about man's relationship with God and all of His creation, it made me wonder: have you ever considered the Bible as a source of dialogue with these thoughts of yours?

I see in all of you an intelligent and philosophical mind, and as incredible as it may seem, the Bible, faith and philosophy have much more convergence than divergence. If you are interested, you can explore the wisdom literature, which is a literary genre found in the Bible, in which they focus: wisdom, morality and the search for a just and meaningful life, the biblical books are: Job, Proverbs and Ecclesiastes.

It's good to see friends talking collaboratively, enjoying the sunset around a campfire.

P.S.: It was so interesting when Graham puts wood on the fire and the light illuminates the scene... I pray that the light of Jesus' love reaches the hearts of all of us.

Donny, this was a captivating "campfire prayer walk." The questions led to thoughtful conversation, with different perspectives and an exchange of ideas. My takeaway was the importance of God, standing in integrity, examining experiences through different lenses, and approaching others with respect, even in moments of disagreement. Thank you for sharing the conversation from this amazing group. It flowed so naturally that I wished it could have gone on longer.

How wonderful it felt to sit around the fire with these four amazing souls! I loved every bit of this prayer walk, Donny. How different each of you are in your perspectives, yet bonded by God's love. To me, this is exactly how God planned His world... sharing thoughts, perspectives, opinions with others in a safe, loving manner. I adore each of you in a different way and also learned something from each of you. We are each threads woven together in this shared life. BRAVO!

❤️🙏✨️
