I so appreciate Audrey’s transparency. It’s so brave to talk openly about all of these things knowing how close minded and judgmental churched folks can be when we unpack things to this level. It’s also so brave of her to be so open about her OCD and I relate so completely to the thoughts that tormented her as a child and an adult growing up in evangelical spaces and having OCD. It was a nightmare, truly and until recently I was still living that nightmare. Like Audrey I started to unpack the spiritual OCD, the fundamentalism of the churches I grew up in. The spiritual suppression, abuse and trauma. The mental & physical abuse I experienced at churches and it’s been the hardest thing I’ve ever done. It makes me want to sob listening to her, because I feel less alone in what I’ve been through. Thank you for interviewing her and thank you Audrey for sharing your heart. You are a beautiful human. I was grateful for your music ten years ago and I’m still just as grateful for your voice now 💛
Thank you for sharing that, Mandy! I am so sorry you experienced so much hurt from those claiming to follow Christ. Please do subscribe to keep up to date with interview content.
I think Audrey would be cool to hang out with, deep and musical, I’d love getting to know that part of her, I would probably love the time 😊 …thanks for posting the interview.
Audrey, just in case you see this: I'm a 36 year old who, while not of a similar background, was brought back into the fullness of the Catholic faith via exploring mysticism. The works of Maria Valtorta are what led my non-Catholic husband to begin practicing, and led to my reversion. Coming to know Jesus through those visions and dictations helped work through some of the institutional/fear issues you mentioned. And He eventually led me back to being able to (and desiring to) receive the Sacraments ahain. Feel free to reach out for more discussion. Praying for your journey. ❤
what is the point of the Holy Sacraments? What is sanctification? Are you "in" the catholic faith or a repentant servant of Jesus the Christ? Most within the church (all denominations) will be rejected by Him they call Lord. Matthew 7:21-23
Grace is the point of the Holy Sacraments. They are 7 fountains of grace that help us to grow in Love. And to be properly disposed toward that grace, yes, absolutely repentant service is necessary.
"For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by me." The Sacraments, and in a special way Penance and Eucharist, increase Christ's life within us (and that is what sanctification is). @@DANIELRODRIGUEZ-yr3et
But you are missing it, Audrey. Minister to yourself by listening to your own music from 2016. Full of beautiful truth. I pray you hear His voice above the noise.
I see that the devil has been tormenting you all these years but because you did not understand you could not fight back. But know that Jesus has never left you and His arms are wide opened and ready to embrace you and set you free from your afflictions if you let Him. Also we are not animal, We are made in the image of God. God made us superior to ani. also even to angels. Bless
Audrey's conclusion is the result of going through the motions of traditionalism and not understanding the Holiness of God. When you come before a Holy God in worship and introduce commonality or humanism into it, His fire will indeed fall. Leviticus 10:1
@@mckessonfamily7021 there is nothing wrong with traditions if you understand why they exist and make them subject to the Holy Scriptures. If they are found to be extra-biblical or contra-biblical, they must be stopped or else we worship falsely and not in truth while subjecting ourselves to damnation from the God claimed to be worshiped. The ecclesia is not 'free' to worship God as we see fit or determine the modus operandi of coming into His presence. It must be done on His terms as laid out within the scriptures. I pray you walk by the spirit and are washed clean from the witchcraft you were involved in.
You have the Discerning of spirits and Satan used it against you. I compel you to Stay away from psychology and psychiatry, Revelation 2:14,15. Unbelief will you kill you. I know Jesus still loves you Audrey.
