Hello and welcome to Episode 29 of This Little Light Of Mine.  My name is James Powell and I’m glad that you’re able to join me for the final episode of season one! 

I can’t believe that it’s already been over a year since I first embarked on this soul-searching journey of healing, forgiveness, and recovery!

In today’s final story episode for season one I walk you through the final years of my life leading up to my eventual breakdown and surrender. 

TRIGGER WARNING: In today’s episode I will be talking about suicidal ideation.  As always, I encourage all listeners to be gentle with themselves, listen to your own bodies and to proceed with loving intent, knowing that it’s okay to stop and/or take breaks.  For some, you may need to skip this episode and that’s okay.  It will be here when you are ready.

Thank you again for being part of This Little Light Of Mine and for helping me to bring more love into our world.  This Little Light Of Mine will return in late summer 2021 with new episodes that stand up for love and prioritize mental health, emotional health, and spiritual health in your life and the lives of all people.

If you’ve enjoyed season one of This Little Light Of Mine or think some of the episodes may help bring hope, understanding, or love to someone in your life, I’d love your help sharing these episodes.  Would you go to Apple Podcasts to rate and review? Don't forget to subscribe yourself so you don’t miss any of season two?  I’d also love to keep in touch over the summer.  You can follow me on IG @the_jamespowell.

Thanks you so much listening and remember, you are wanted, you are worth fighting for, you are needed and you are loved.

James.

This Little Light of Mine - LGBTQ, Christianity, religious trauma, mental health

This Little Light of Mine is an LGBTQ+ tale of terror (growing up as a closeted Gay Christian in the Evangelical church) that led to trauma (cPTSD, religious trauma, spiritual abuse, sexual abuse, addiction) to what I intend to become triumph.

Join me on my healing and recovery journey towards mental health, spiritual health and emotional health as I find my voice by sharing what happened in my life as a Queer Christian where I was taught that I was not allowed to love.
