#44 Chelsey DeMatteis [Season of Rebellion]
Chelsey and I are talking about how God pursued her in the midst of her rebellion. Chelsey shares about her upbringing and how, when she didn’t want to go to church anymore, her parents let make her own decision and faithfully put her in the Lord’s hands. She tells us that for a season her life was “fueled by lust and rebellion and secrecy.” She was caught in a cycle of making poor decisions and covering them up. But then God intervened.
Chelsey shares a story of God interrupting her in the middle of her mess to remind her she was loved and that he was pursuing her heart. She says that things didn’t turn around for her right away, but that that was the beginning of her living her life for Jesus. She’s says, “I’ve seen him turn me into this woman who wants nothing more than to be like him.”
Chelsey tells us about soul tie healing prayer and the freedom and healing she felt after going through it. We talk about obedience and why it’s not restrictive, but really a safe place for us to rest secure and close to our loving father.
After Chelsey’s change of heart her dad encouraged her to return to her passion of writing. That expanded to the Living with Less podcast Chelsey now hosts where she shares more of her story, what she’s learning and her message for all of us to live with less of the things getting in the way of who Christ is calling us to be.
Chelsey is a wife, stay-at-home mom to her sweet 2-year-old, devotional writer for ibelieve.com, and the podcast host of the Living With Less podcast. Her hearts greatest desire is to live life with a John 3:30 perspective, “He must increase, but I must decrease.” In doing so the Lord has been walking her through a beautifully challenging season to learn what this truly looks like, and as a bonus allowed her to invite others to join along for the ride.
John 3:30 – He must become greater; I must become less.
