Can chronic homeopathy remedies and spiritual perseverance share common ground? Join us on Homeopathy at Home with Melissa, where Bri and I explore this intriguing parallel through the lens of our personal experiences and insights from my retreat speaking notes. We discuss how steadfastness in both homeopathy and spiritual journeys is essential, especially when challenges arise. Inspired by Hebrews 10:23, we focus on the importance of holding onto hope and trusting the faithful processes of healing and sanctification. This episode promises to offer you encouragement and a fresh perspective on staying the course, whether in health or spirit.

As we continue our discussion, the power of community and mutual encouragement becomes a central theme. Bri and I share how linking arms with fellow believers can bolster our resolve and inspire those around us. In a world where it's easy to become weary and doubtful, we remind ourselves and our listeners to encourage one another and trust in the body's remarkable ability to heal. Whether you're a long-time listener or tuning in for the first time, this episode aims to motivate you to embrace perseverance, supported by a community that uplifts and strengthens your resolve.

Speaker 1:

Welcome back to Homeopathy at Home with Melissa. Hey Melissa, hey Bree, how are you today? I am doing great. It's great weather here. It's been a little while since we recorded, so I'm excited to get back in the game.

Speaker 2:

Yeah yeah, it's going to be fun.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I will. We're going to continue tonight. If you've been listening for a while, this won't be new, but we've been working through some of my speaking notes from the retreat last year and, if you're listening, in real time, registration has been open for a while.

Speaker 2:

So this year's is coming up in May and it's going to be super great and the funny thing is when, by the time this releases, I think the retreat will be like it might be too late to register.

Speaker 1:

So yeah, I don't, so registration might not be open, but it's going to be a good time. We're going to have a great time and you'll hear about it after. Well, um, I'm sure it'll take. Yeah, I think this is coming out end of April, but know that it's going to be great If you are registered. We're super excited.

Speaker 2:

And if you're not registered, go and see. I mean, yeah, if this comes out the end of April, if there's a spot left, then go grab it.

Speaker 1:

You never know, maybe somebody who was before can't come, but it really is such a beautiful time. Um, I feel like the Lord really spoke some things to me over what I shared last year. So we're sharing it here for you guys who weren't there, in little episodes, so broken out into 10 points. And really my heart here was not to equate homeopathy to the Bible or spiritual things, equate homeopathy to the Bible or spiritual things, but how God has used using homeopathy as a modality to line up with some spiritual truths in my life. So if this is encouraging to you, take it. I hope that it is.

Speaker 1:

Listen to the first six. If you haven't, you can listen to them out of order. They don't all go together, but number seven is tonight and it is about staying the course. So we know if you've used homeopathy chronically speaking, even acutely, healing can get tough. That process can get tough, and one of the things we're always reminding people and myself is to stay the course. And similarly, in our spiritual walks we must remain steadfast and trust God's process of sanctification, even when it's challenging. And y'all this is I just told Melissa before this.

Speaker 1:

This is so timely for me today when we're recording how God's using my own words to encourage me now, the scripture that I found for this, that I based this off of, was Hebrews 10, 23,. That says let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. We're so quick to question the processes of God when things get difficult or when they feel like they've been difficult for a long time. The ups and downs of life can lead us to confusion, exhaustion, weariness, doubt and ultimately, just the desire to throw in the towel and give up. I don't want to do this anymore. I think we've all been there, whether it is physical, physical symptoms you're dealing with for a long time or spiritual.

Speaker 1:

And I love how that verse says unswervingly. So other versions of that say let us hold tightly, unwavering, to hold fast to the hope that we have because he is faithful. And if you continue on, verses 24 and 25 say and let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the day approaching. So, in the same way that it's for our own good that we stay steadfast, it's also encouraging to other believers who are around you to do the same thing Link arms.

Speaker 1:

Let's keep going, which I've also seen in this world of using homeopathy, trusting that our bodies can heal. It just takes steadfastness. So the only other thing I really love this time reading through here that I noticed is that it says unswervingly to the hope we profess and I am hearing it in myself, this hope that I say that I have um, live like I have that and I don't know. I want you to be able to chime in, melissa, because we even talked to them about this today and the Israelites and all that. But what are some of your thoughts?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, just how we need. We need people. So both in you know, as in our, our spiritual walk, as Christians, we're called to community and and to be in with people. We also need people in our on our healing paths, need people in our on our healing paths. So you know, doing this full time, I mean I'm I'm talking to people about their health six days a week. I really try hard not to do anything on Sunday, but sometimes you know, when it's just, it's just really serious and it's really um, it's really urgent, I guess you could say then, yes, then we'll talk about it. So really, six days a week I'm talking to people about their health and in that what I see is, um, whether you, even if you know how homeopathy works, it can get hard and so you need somebody to encourage you.

Speaker 2:

But a lot of people don't truly understand how homeopathy works. So a um I am. You know, I'm taking a natural remedy to fix this thing and I'm taking it like, like an allopathic medicine. So I have a headache, so I'm going to take Belladonna and that's going to stop the headache, and if it doesn't stop the headache within four doses, then I'm going to leave Bell. It's not the right remedy, I'm going to do a different remedy. To leave Bella, it's not the right remedy, I'm going to do a different remedy. And so that's really not, um, not the full way of how homeopathy works.

Speaker 2:

So, anyway, my point is that, um, we need each other, we need, we need to encourage each other and, um, I just really praise the Lord that he gave me a gift of encouragement. I really it's just comes naturally to me to encourage people and I'm not tooting my horn but like, how do you? You can't. I don't think you you can be a good leader or a good teacher if you don't know how to encourage people. So God gave me that, you know, he instilled that in me and he helped me grow that gift. And then he gave me this full-time practice, so I use it all the time. So, community, we need each other. We need each other in again in our spiritual walk and in your health journey. So we can't be an island. We can't do this alone, any of it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that is. It's one that we are going to talk more about, but also we could unless you don't want to tonight, because it does use that same scripture. It's just so important to follow through while you need people to walk alongside you, um, and it takes intentionality to excuse me, my, this has been around for so long, you guys. Sorry I sound not great these days, but but it takes intentionality to be a part of communities, to come alongside you and then to be an active encourager in those communities and sometimes that is like you were saying, encouraging, maybe verbally helping, come alongside someone and help them. But but I also think when, when I just look at other people just doing the thing, like they're just doing it, and I'm like, okay, they're doing it, I can do this, and they haven't given up yet, I can, I can keep going, um, and it also I mean to bring in.

Speaker 1:

Melissa reminded me today of the Israelites in the wilderness and how many times they doubt, like all this said. They doubt, they question, they are not holding unswervingly Granted Hebrews was written later so that they didn't have this to look at but I just think of them, god rescuing them and God bringing them out and growing them and showing them things, and they're like convinced you brought me out here to starve and die after they were just slaves five minutes ago. Um, it's just so. For my own life, I do the same thing. He, god, keeps doing his thing, and I still have to remind myself that he is faithful. So I don't love that, but that is reality of, I think, being a person. So, yeah, this was good, this was a really good one for today.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely, I love Hebrews. There's so much in Hebrews and in the whole, in the whole book. So, um, I was, you know, as you were talking, if you guys, if you saw me looking down, it was because I was just looking at just all the things I have written. I mean, I have stuff written everywhere in Hebrews, um, so, and then the you know, the heading or whatever of this little section 19 through 25 in my Bible says hold fast your confession. And yeah, I love that.

Speaker 2:

You went on Bree and talked about 24 and 25. So 25, not forsaking the assembly of ourselves together, which is why, you know, probably why the Lord had me do a retreat, like we come together and encourage each other and just spend time together. So, you know, the homeopathy retreat is not meant to be busy and um and running and and yeah, I mean, yes, we have some classes, we have some workshops, but it really was meant to be let's relax and let's hang out together and let's be together and encourage each other, and so that's what we did last year and that's what we'll do this year, um, so, yes, this was a really good one. Thank you for sharing this.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, of course. Thank you guys for being here and listening. You can also watch on YouTube and hopefully we will see some of you in just a couple weeks at the retreat and others of you next year. We keep this going. I'm committing you to next year, I'm kidding, no-transcript.
