Rumination vs Self Awareness

Ericka reflects on the beauty of collective joy, the tangled relationship between self-awareness and rumination, and the deep grace of Jesus that transforms our shame into hope. From unexpected tears at Chuck E. Cheese to her personal stories of OCD, addiction recovery, and healing, Ericka weaves story, vulnerability, and deep truth into a message rooted in John 8 — the woman caught in adultery. She invites us to ask: Are we stuck in shame-fueled rumination, or are we allowing grace to lead us into new life?
