Is it just possible that the weirdest, most annoying things about you exist for a purpose? And that you are exactly who God made you to be?
That’s the provoking question Laurie Wallin addresses from her own life experience and observation. We welcome Laurie to the show to explain the difference her findings might have on our lives. She’s written , and helps us embrace our quirks and live our strengths—with good humor and grace—and learn more about God and how much He loves us. Here’s where that conversation leads:
The word quirks gets used to cover an awful lot of ground, but what are quirks for the purpose of our discussion? And does the Bible actually address them? Laurie says that quirks can be our superpowers! Yet there is both a dark side & a light side to them of which we need to be aware.
What led Laurie to begin exploring this compelling subject?
When analyzing ourselves, it seems that we more readily gravitate to our weaknesses than to our strengths. But why? Laurie offers her analysis.
Laurie offers some fascinating questions we can put to ourselves in an effort to discover our strengths:
- What are you naturally inclined to do in a situation?
- What are some of the things you love to do?
- What things give you energy?
- What keeps you up at night – in a good way?
- What does your mind latch onto?
It’s Laurie’s belief that Jesus himself exhibited quirks in his time on earth. She explains herself.
How does the concept of recycling interweave with a discussion of quirks?
When it comes to perfectionism and the unconventional things about us, who is actually perfect? Are we perfect? Or is God the perfect One?
