Text me! Tell me something good!

Have you ever wondered if those critical voices inside your head might actually be your greatest enemies? I had a bit of a breakthrough on my recent weekend at Base Camp—a retreat created by Jen Jett Barrett of the Well Summit.

Listen and hear about this stat I learned about where people see God as angry, distant, and critical. Honestly?... That number made way too much sense. 

As I sat with it, I started to see the connection between my ADHD and the constant self-talk that says I’m not measuring up. That maybe—just maybe—my own unrealistic expectations were warping how I thought God saw me, too.

Through one of the exercises at Base Camp, I had a moment that honestly felt like a full-on spiritual gut check. (Yes, I’m sharing it here. No, I can’t believe it either.) It was messy and freeing and exactly what I didn’t know I needed.

Whether or not you’re working (or re-working) your way through life with ADHD, if you’ve ever wrestled with shame, misunderstood yourself, or struggled to believe that God could still love you in the middle of all your mess—pull up a chair. 

Have a seat... and not at just any table, but the one intentionally set for you opposite all the mess in your head. And hopefully, your soul will find just exactly what it’s been needing.

Speaker 1:

Think about the times when you're around a table, maybe at a coffee shop or dinner with friends, or one of those rare nights where you can actually get your whole family to the table for dinner. Tables are where life happens, and usually the good side of life too. It's where the stories are told and the memories are made. So, since life can get crazy and those table moments don't happen as much as we'd like, what if you let this listen be that recharge that you need, where you can switch out of survival mode and have a little fun, even if it's just for a little bit? Sometimes it's going to be me and you here, and then sometimes we might have a friend join us. But here's what I'm hoping for you that this is the place where you get to hit pause, give your brain the break that it needs and have some life finally poured back into you. I'm Amy Kathleen. Welcome to A Story Table. I'm so glad you're here. I cannot wait to tell you about this weekend that I just had. I'm kind of surprised that I'm doing it here on the podcast because, in honesty, that's a little weird. But if you were sitting at my table or on my couch, or if we were out at dinner or coffee or something, I would be a total open book and tell you all about this. But I'm talking to you through a microphone and, again, there's no one in front of me right now, so it's kind of weird. But I really am excited to share this whole experience with you, and it's really interesting how it ties back to the conversation we just had about ADHD and honestly, it was like a breakthrough moment that I had. Man, this was a good weekend.

Speaker 1:

So this whole thing was put together by Jen Jet Barrett and she's the creator of the nonprofit called the Well Summit. I'll tell you more about it in a second. But Jen is one of those people that I have just grown to love and appreciate. Every time I get a chance to be around her or learn from her. She's just a phenomenal person and she just has this ease about her that helps me wrap my head around the hardest concepts. She just has a gift when it comes to it and she's, just like I said, so easy and fun to be around and, honestly, she just makes me feel normal a lot of the times. But Jen created the Well Summit and part of what it does is it offers these four-day retreats a couple times a year and they're called Camp Well. I've had several friends who have been to Camp Well and they always rave about it. A couple of times I tried to sign up, maybe got on the wait list, but it never really worked out. I'm now reconsidering it and I'm sure by the end of this you'll know it's pretty clear why I'm thinking about it again.

Speaker 1:

I went on her website just to get my facts straight, just to make sure I'm kind of reporting what she's been doing accurately to you. But they've been doing Camp Well for like nine years now and they've had over 600 women attend. And I really liked what she said or what she has on the website, where it describes Camp Well and basically like a sentence and it says Camp Well, a four-day retreat for your soul to find what it needs, y'all, for your soul to find what it needs. I mean that statement alone makes me want to go. But that's kind of what this weekend felt like too. And this weekend was like maybe a snapshot of Camp Well. The weekend was called Base Camp and they had three different locations this spring I think. One was in Arkansas, one was in Colorado and then the one I went to was over in the Dallas area. Base Camp was like a day and a half. It was like a gathering I think it said conference somewhere on the website or email that I got. But it really did feel like more of just a gathering. Jen actually opened up and said this is more of a conversation than a conference and I do actually agree with that. But the idea of Basecamp was to allow people to be immersed in the Holy Spirit and for you to have a chance to renew your mind and gain just spiritual formation.

Speaker 1:

Now, spiritual formation really didn't resonate with me until I read a little bit further down and she described it as a space to be spiritually formed. When I read it that way, it made a little bit more sense. I kind of thought about Play-Doh, you know, like working it and molding it in, and it kind of reminded me of like how I feel when I'm wrapping my head around something like it's being formed, it's being molded. Now, by the end of this day and a half, like by the end of the day on Saturday y'all, I was more like slime. That's a weird analogy. I get it, it really is. But again, when we get to the end of the story. I think you'll understand why it felt like that. It felt like, instead of being molded and having to be worked like Play-Doh, I basically just would melt into any mold you gave me. Or tried to put me in at that point, and again, that'll make more sense in just a little bit. So hang in there. Tried to put me in at that point, and again that'll make more sense in just a little bit. So hang in there.

Speaker 1:

While I was there this past weekend, I learned about a study that Baylor University did and sadly, I kind of related to it. These numbers kind of shocked me a little bit, but of the people that they surveyed, 77% of them said that they experienced God as angry, said that they experienced God as angry, distant and critical. I would like to say that this was more of something that I grew up believing, that it was only in the earlier part of my life, but if I'm being honest, I think it's been there, probably more recent than I even realize. It makes me think about that bar of expectations that we always try to reach, you know, always trying to do more, to be more, to be a better Christian woman, woman of faith, like, just as a Christian, the person you feel like you should be, and to me there was that expectation, and if you fell short of that, well then that was bad right, that was not good, that was a negative. And so, even though I wish I could say this was more of how I felt as a young girl, I've realized that as an adult woman, I've been believing this same thing to some degree, and that's kind of sad to me.

Speaker 1:

But it did make me think about what I quoted at the end of the last episode, where the lady interviewed by Climbing the Walls mentioned that women hide or overcompensate for their ADHD. Because of the ways they think they fall short of expectations. They feel like they have personal failures. These things in some weird way like tied together for me, I don't know. Do you see that too? Way like tied together for me, I don't know. Do you see that too? That feeling of just not quite doing enough, you know needing to do more or be better, like there were these thoughts that just kept going through my head of you know all the ways that I'm falling short, and again, when all that's happening, it goes into that negative narrative again in my head, which apparently is a trait that women experience with ADHD that I was not aware of. So it got me thinking that if in life I'm thinking about my shortcomings, of the expectations of others around me, well then I realized I'm doing that in my faith too, and there was some part of me that relates to that. You know 77 percentile of people from that study that I realized like, oh, like that must be me looking at my relationship with God and experiencing Him as someone who is also presumptively being critical of me, and the ways I'm not quite pulling my weight as a believer. That was a kind of harsh reality to wrap my head around. You know something that you think like, oh, no, I'm fine. But when you take a closer look at it you're like, oh wait, these things do relate. I see the connection there. Ooh, that kind of sucks.

Speaker 1:

So thankfully, in this wonderful, probably unknowingly way that Jen just does things, she pulled out a Bible verse that's really special to me. So it's from Psalm 23. It's 23.5. It says this you prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup overflows Okay, obviously I love this verse because of the table reference, right, I mean true, like surface level. That's it. I'm like, oh yes, this is talking to me. This is talking to a story table. This is talking about my love of like connecting people and just life happening around a table. Leave it to Jen. She totally unraveled this and put it all back together in ways that I could have never imagined. So we're going to take a minute here and I'm actually walk you through what I experienced with this verse and what I've learned through it.

Speaker 1:

So have you ever taken a Bible verse that you really like, but you take out the parts that you really like and you skip over the parts that you're like, yeah, that doesn't really relate to me. Well, that's what I was doing. Like I took this Psalm 23, 5,. You know you prepare a table before me and I was like, yes, that's mine, I'll hold on to that. And the part where it says in the presence of my enemies. And I'm like, yeah, that's not really for me, because I thought about in that, like my friends who are just honestly, they're living in some toxic relationships and my heart just goes out to them Like I can't relate to having a enemy, you know, like the person that you're literally battling through life kind of against. You know, it makes me thankful that they had this part of this verse, or they have this part of this verse so that they can pull on that as they try to navigate through this battle that they deal with day in and day out, but this part it just wasn't for me.

Speaker 1:

I kept getting hung up on this idea of an enemy, and so I just thought about that for a minute and I really just pulled up the dictionary online and here's what it was saying about an enemy it says a person who is actively opposed or hostile to someone or something. So to me this is like the word enemy personified. We literally think about the enemy as a person, like I was saying. Now, another one is where it references a hostile nation or armed forces. So that's a military aspect of enemy.

Speaker 1:

But then the third one that I saw it says a thing that harms or weakens something else, and I was like, oh, that's it, something that harms or weakens something else. This got me thinking about the things that are sewn into our lives by evil in this world, you know. So, not necessarily people, though I mean. I do believe that that does sometimes happen through or by people. But what does that mean exactly? Like what are the things that are sewn into our lives? All right, so let's think about like worry and anxiety. Now, if you're a mom who has a 16-year-old maybe it's your first child and they have jumped through all the hoops and done all the things and have managed to pass every level and every step to getting a driver's license. And then now you put them on the road on every step to getting a driver's license. And then now you put them on the road and there is a certain level of seems natural worry and anxiety that's gonna happen there by most any mom I can think of Like that seems normal, right.

Speaker 1:

And then I thought about distractions, or procrastination, and it made me think of me just dragging my feet on things like doing this podcast. It takes a lot of work and effort and energy and putting thoughts together. And it made me think of me just dragging my feet on things like doing this podcast. You know it takes a lot of, you know, work and effort and energy and putting thoughts together, and sometimes that's easy and sometimes it's not, but ultimately a lot of times I just procrastinate. So what about the other times where you feel like you have to do it all. And yeah, mom, I'm talking to you all. And yeah, mom, I'm talking to you.

Speaker 1:

Like the ones of you out there who feel like you have to do everything for your family, like you are literally the glue that's holding it all together. If you're not going to do it, then no one's going to do it, or it's just easier for you to handle it, rather than to try to teach and then hold them accountable to do all the things. Like you know where I'm coming from. We've all been there. So if we take these things that are just seemingly natural, that are apparently like sewn into our lives you know these worries, anxiety, distractions, procrastination, you know the sense of doing it all there's just a part of me that sat there thinking like, really, is this really, like my quote unquote enemy? That just didn't seem right Because again, I'm thinking about a person Now speaking of person, this idiot yep, I'm just going to call him an idiot On the interstate this past weekend they were darting in and out of traffic like a crazy person, going like 90 something miles per hour, and I've got me and my family in my car.

Speaker 1:

Now, that person, that was my enemy on that road for sure, if we're being real here, like when you think about an enemy you know, I think about, oh gosh, have you ever been on like your fifth call with a customer care representative, a person who doesn't seem to give a flip about the customer, and you're handling something like insurance or something like that, where you're just trying to get answers where you can't get any? I mean again, that's a person that'd be like, okay, I'm trying to hold it together right now, but that feels like the enemy right there. So, yeah, that's real life, that's real life interactions to me. But if we do what a friend one time said she's like, put on your God goggles I'm like, okay, let me put the God goggles back on.

Speaker 1:

And if I think back to that definition that says the thing that harms or weakens something else, and I think about those day in, day out normal things that we deal with, like the worry, anxiety, the distractions, the unrealistic expectations that we have on ourselves, those are the things that harm or weaken our relationship with God and those are the things that make us just doubt the fact that he literally established us and rooted us in love. All those things, all those daily little battles in my head against these seemingly natural things like worry, like that's the enemy. It really is, and these things are evil, like they were not created by God. And I can tell you right now that there's no way in the world that if I was sitting across the table from God, that he would say you worrying about that new driver, yeah, that's going to make a hill of beans difference. Or, yeah, just drag your feet a little bit longer. Those people don't need to hear from you. There's nothing you're going to say that's of any value anyway. Or, yeah, mom, you need to do a little bit more. Not quite doing enough. Like really, he would never do that. He would never do that. And that's been like a checks and balance for me, that it's like if I'm sitting there with him and I know those words aren't going to come out of his mouth, then that's a dead ringer, that that's the enemy in my head.

Speaker 1:

There's another verse that I use or that I think of sometimes whenever I get in this kind of place, and it also helps me do a little bit of reset. So the version that we're probably all familiar with, it's Matthew 11, 28. And it's the one that says come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Okay, so that's the version that we are all pretty familiar with, like I said, but at Base Camp, jen used a different version of this and she used the message version. If you're not familiar with the message translation of the Bible, it really just takes the Bible and translates it into more of the way that we talk today. It makes it easier to digest, and sometimes I like to take Scripture and just kind of see how the message puts it, because it just puts it in everyday terms for me, like in the way that we speak today, and that's a little bit easier. But she used that version while we were puts it because it just puts it in everyday terms for me, like in the way that we speak today, and that's a little bit easier. But she used that version while we were there and I really like it. I just like the way it sounds.

Speaker 1:

So I'm going to read it to you now. It says are you tired, worn out, burned out on religion? Come to me, get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take real rest. Walk with me, work with me, watch how I do it, learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly. I don't know about you, but I want that all day, every day, when I have those moments of just getting caught up in all the strife, this is the one that's like comforting, to remember you know the whole, like yoke being easy and his burden, like if we were doing it with him, then it would be light. It's like how the message version ends. It says keep company with me. So he's saying like hang out with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly.

Speaker 1:

I'm pretty sure we all want that, like we always want that, and if you think about it, you know we live free. Like we are free because he's already sacrificed like his entire life to give us that freedom. Like it's already a done deal, so it's just a matter of us accepting it. It's like a gift that we just get to accept. But what do we do? Well, we tend to believe the crazy things that we think and we're part of those people. You ever heard the numbers of? Like the amount of thoughts, like the tens of thousands of thoughts that we have going through our head each day and that 80% of those thoughts are negative, like instead of the freedom, like that's where we choose to live and it seems so much easier to like, accept that as like being truth, like those thoughts that are going through our head like crazy are what's true.

Speaker 1:

Now, why do we do this Like? I wish I could tell y'all, I wish I had clear, cut answers on this, but I am definitely not the expert there. Our brain is just ridiculously complicated. I will say, if you've never, there's two books here that I'll reference and I'll put them in the show notes too. But there's a book by Jenny Allen that's called Get Out of your Head and there's also another book that is by Dr Kurt Thompson and it's called the Soul of Shame. So if you want to go down that rabbit hole of figuring out, you know why do we choose this road of believing all the crap things, versus like him saying like hey, freely and lightly over here, we're like nope, actually we'll take the road over here, we'll go to the negative spin in our heads. It's crazy that we do that, right? I mean, it's truly crazy that we do. But that's who we are. We are humans and we live in this world and that's just where we are. Okay, let me tell y'all what happened to me or maybe it was for me.

Speaker 1:

That first morning of base camp, jen Jet Barrett led us through this experience I guess you would call it and my heart's racing right now and I can't tell if it's because I'm excited or just ridiculously nervous to tell y'all this story. We're going to go with excited. Let's just start there. So Jen was going to walk us through this process and she started with the verse in Psalms 139, and it's Search me and know my heart, test me and know my anxious thoughts, see if there is any offensive way in me and lead me to the way everlasting. And so the idea was like searching what's down deep in there that may need to be rooted out so that you can be in closer proximity with God. And this was kind of a, I guess, kind of a newish concept for me. This may be totally new for you and you're like I don't have a clue what you're talking about. Amy, kathleen, I'm going to tell you right now. Hold on to your hat, because it's about to get a little bit weird, but kind of cool too.

Speaker 1:

So Jen walked us through these questions that you can ask and pray, and I love when people have shown me how to do that, because these are things that I don't think to ask or pray about or pray asking these questions, and so I'm going to read these through you and, I'm sorry, read these to you, and if you want me to put these like somewhere where you can grab them, I'm happy to do that too. Maybe I'll put them in the show notes. But the first one was like you're asking God, what lies am I believing? Another one is what fear is consuming me, what unforgiveness or sin is entangling me, what distraction is derailing me, what grief needs to be processed and what shame is keeping me in bondage? Now, these are pretty big questions, and she did say that the hard part of all this is actually waiting for his response, or maybe I'll write that. I don't know if she actually said that. I have her note here, maybe I'll write that in, but the hard part is the waiting. I don't know if she actually said that. I have her note here. Maybe I'll write that in, but the hard part is the waiting.

Speaker 1:

After she read these questions, she invited us to kind of adjust our chairs, put our feet flat on the floor. And then she asked us to put our hands together and our laps with our palms facing up. And then she asked close your eyes and think about what question. Close your eyes and think about what question is coming up for you. So again, this is a new, different experience for me. But I was like all right, god, I'm here, I'm all in, what do you got for me? Like I'm here and I'm open. And then she said I want you to look down at your hands, like keep your eyes closed but look down, and what do you envision in your hands? Like, keep your eyes closed but look down and what do you envision in your hands? I didn't see anything. There was like nothing there. So again, I'm like okay, I'm here, I'm in this, I'm giving it a shot. God, what do you want me to see? Nothing's coming up. Help me out here.

Speaker 1:

So the night before we got there, on a Friday night, like I said and this was Saturday morning, but Friday night, as we were leaving, she prayed over everybody before they left and part of that prayer she kind of stopped for a minute and she said Lord, I just want to pray for the woman out there who says the most awful untruths about herself, says the most awful untruths about herself, that when she looks at herself she says all the worst things that you would never, ever, ever tell her. And I was thinking, oh, I feel sorry for that woman. I found myself praying in agreement. I guess Like just yeah, lord, whoever that is, lord, reach in and just give her heart a hug. You know, I hate that for her and I hope that she can see the way that you see her.

Speaker 1:

So then I started thinking like why did that come back to mind? That wasn't for me. So I just sat there, still hold my hands open, still with my feet on the floor, eyes closed, and I just still sat there. And then those thoughts were still there again and I'm like, why am I? Is there something like? Are you bringing something up here? Is there something I'm supposed to notice or remember about this prayer? Was there someone else or something she said that that I missed, that you're trying to help me remember? And then I just like in my mind's eye, look back down at my hands again, because again my eyes are closed. And then I look down and there is a small, compact sized mirror sitting in my hands and what I realized in that moment was I was the woman, or maybe one of the women, that Jen was praying for.

Speaker 1:

And then I thought about a part in my notes where I was processing through something as she or somebody else was talking, and I was writing down these issues that I had, but when I started thinking about them, they were actually lies that I was believing about myself. I was the woman who was looking at herself saying all the horrible things. What came up was that underlying script, that narrative that just keeps running in my head. Maybe one day I'll be able to share like in depth what these things were, but right now it's just all a little bit too fresh. I will tell you like there were things that just stemmed from fear, from anger, from unforgiveness and offense that I was holding on to pain and just so much frustration, loss of trust and like lack of openness. There was obviously some shame that was really wrapped in there really well, and just that negative self-narrative that was there. Negative self-narrative that was there, but so much was coming up. I mean stuff that I thought was like long gone. It was coming up and it was all just ugly and not true. But in those moments there was kind of one I don't know thought that just really kept pulsing and that was just that. That just really kept pulsing. And that was just that. Amy Kathleen, you were just too much On so many levels. You were just too much to handle sometimes and people just really don't get you.

Speaker 1:

It was about that time, whenever Jen interrupted that kind of moment of silence that she was giving us to interject a bit more, that kind of moment of silence that she was giving us to interject a bit more, and she said I want you to imagine that Jesus is actually there with you, like he's in that room or that space with you, and now he is walking closer to you. He's there with you it's just the two of you and he's coming closer. He's there with you, it's just the two of you and he's coming closer, and now he is holding and clasping his hands around your hands. And she said I want you to listen. What is he saying to you right now? What is it that he wants you to know? For me it was like he was saying things without actually saying them. It was like His presence there with me said it all.

Speaker 1:

In that moment I just chose to embrace this whole experience. I remember looking at His hands around my hands, with my reflection in the mirror, and I remember looking up and looking into his eyes and they were the kindest eyes. I could never even explain how kind they were, and what it felt like he was telling me is that he was saying but he was saying that thing that feels like too much inside of you. That's me, that's almost always me, and it's my love that's pouring out of you. And you're right, it is too much for some people because their hearts aren't quite open enough or not quite ready for me yet. But I see you and I know you and you are mine, and everything else, all that other stuff that's running around in your mind, all those thoughts, all those feelings, that's just noise and lies and I don't want you to believe any of that. I listened to him like I believed him. And then here's the crazy part. If this wasn't crazy enough for you already, I dropped my head from looking at him to look back down in the mirror in my hands. Look back down in the mirror in my hands. And when I did that, it's not my reflection anymore, but His. It was His face in the mirror looking back at me.

Speaker 1:

Later, when I was thinking about this, I went back to the first verse that we talked about, psalm 23, 5. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. So if you don't know this about me, sometimes whenever I'm reading scripture if something grabs my attention, I'll go look up the Greek or Hebrew meaning of that word. And I did that this time and I did it with the part that's talking about being in the presence of our enemies, and really the word presence and the Hebrew version is called neged and what it actually means is he's setting a table before my enemies, like in front of them, opposite them, against them. So this table that he set for me is actually to set me up to be able to oppose that enemy. And when you look at the next verse, verse 6, it says Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Speaker 1:

So think back to that quote that I referenced at the beginning about women wanting to hide or overcompensate for their ADHD because of all the ways they think or feel that they fall short of expectations and they also feel like they have personal failures. So here's what all of this showed me that what we think or what we feel, these are not our personal failures. Whether this whole thing has something to do with an ADHD diagnosis for you, or maybe you're just a woman who feels this down to your core, I really want us to realize something here that these crazy thoughts and these crazy feels that we have, they're not actually in control as much as we give them credit for. And when I was honest with myself and maybe you're there too and realized that, like I have been in that 77% of people who experience God as angry or distant or critical, that's never been Him is angry or distant or critical. That's never been him. Like he was the host, the master host, the one who has set that table before me and for you. And he set that table in front of, in opposition to those worst enemies that are in our minds. And he does all of that and then tells us that his goodness and his love is going to be there to back us up every single day. How cool is that? He's literally saying that he's got our backs. Do you know the most amazing part of having someone lead you through like an encounter like this. It becomes a core memory and yeah, I'm talking about like inside out the movie core memory. Truly, I'm going to be able to pull that experience with him and that mirror and him looking back at me at any point whenever I need it. When any of that noise just creeps in again, I get to look down in my hands and see him looking back at me.

Speaker 1:

I am so incredibly thankful to Jen, jet Barrett, to the Well Summit and all of the speakers and leaders and everybody that was there. They were incredible women and I'm just so thankful that I got to have such a cool experience that connected so many dots for me. I know this is a crazy story. I'm still kind of shocked that I even shared it with you, but I hope that it gives you some hope to the way that we actually have a lot more access to the Lord than we actually usually think and these thoughts inside of our head. They truly don't get to have as much power as we let them. I don't know if Jen said this or if she got it from somebody else, but I want to leave you with this last thing that was said that weekend Emotions can ride, but they can't drive. I thought that was so good. I hope that helps you out.

If you're at all curious about this idea of like having an actual encounter with the Lord, y'all I'm gonna tell you I did not grow up this way. I did not know that we could do this, I did not know it existed, I didn't realize that he was that like, truly accessible. It's bizarre and wonderful at the same time. But I've also done this with another friend of mine in a slightly different way, but the encounter was still the same. I think it came to me so easily with Jen because I'd already experienced it with my friend Michelle. Michelle has an organization called Uncommon Valor and it's faith-centered healing for hurt, loneliness and heartbreak hurt, loneliness and heartbreak. And when I tell you she is a pint-sized wealth of wisdom, it doesn't even do her justice, honestly. But I want y'all to go to her website it's called uncommonvalorco If you're interested in any of this or just kind of want to learn what she does and about the inner healing sessions that she offers. That's exactly what I did with her and it was an incredible first experience to having these core memories just in my pocket. I can pull them out and do pull them out often, and it's just the most amazing experience ever.
