There’s something extraordinary about the word 'vulnerable'.  It either strikes fear or the anticipation of meaningful connection into one's heart.  Which one are you?  In this edition Sharon chats with Kirsty Allen, a wife and mother of two, who’s found new freedom in living a vulnerable and sincere life - both spiritually and in her ordinary relationships.  Kirsty discovered the necessity of living life in the vulnerable lane when one of their children was diagnosed with long-term additional needs.  Kirsty talks about the beauty and the bravery that grows through openness and how it is a powerful tool in revealing God to others; shares how God helps her to 'go first' with kind but candid discussions as she encourages other parents of kids with learning and physical differences; and tells stories of how she’s able to bring God into often difficult and complex medical appointments, in natural and unrestricted ways.  Do join us as we learn how Kirsty first uncovered her own need to be unguarded in her relationship with God through an unusual experience with a crop of wild blackberries!  And we also hear about The Quest Life, an extraordinary retreat event that deepened Kirsty’s relationship with God.  There’s lots to consider in this edition as we drill down on turning our attention towards Jesus in every situation, so that our lives naturally reveal God, no matter what we’re doing.
