When you were a kid, how did you feel about your hometown? Did you stay in the same area? Or move around to different places? Growing up involved a lot of transitions and questions of identity for missionary kid Jennie Clevenger. Join Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy in a conversation with Jennie Clevenger as she shares about her past and how it has shaped her life now on this episode of God Hears Her.

About Our Guest:

Jennie Clevenger grew up in Guyana, South America as a missionary kid and is still involved in ministry there to this day. She currently works as a RN at a COVID-19 testing and vaccination center. Jennie’s hope is that her efforts there with her wonderful coworkers will encourage and support the community in any way possible. She is passionate about listening to —and sometimes even butting into—any discussion involving women in the church! She feels a sense of urgency to learn more, read more, and discuss more about the importance of lifting women up in their homes, communities, and the life of the church. She has been married to her husband, Ryan, for thirteen years and they have four beautiful girls. The three oldest are adopted from Guyana.

EP. 91: Understanding Your Brain and Pain (with Dr. Jerome D. Lubbe)

Imagine if you dealt with a debilitating migraine every day of your life and doctors didn’t have the right answers to help you heal. What would you do? How would you cope? Dr. Jerome Lubbe experienced this firsthand before becoming a functional neurologist and working to improve people’s well-being. The brain is a complex system, and sometimes the answers to our suffering aren’t easy to come by. On this episode of God Hears Her, hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy talk to Dr. Jerome Lubbe about the brain and the pain a lot of us face.

About Our Guest:

Dr. Jerome is a functional neurologist who knows that healing is possible, even when it feels impossible, because of the brain’s ability to reorganize itself and create new connections. He specializes in complex and unresolved neurological cases because he knows what it’s like to have an undiagnosed issue as he suffered from migraines without any answers for years! His practice also explores how functional neurology, neuroplasticity, and tools like the Enneagram can improve our well-being. Dr. Jerome created and released the first-ever neuroscience based model of the Enneagram in his book, The Brain-Based Enneagram.

Notes and Quotes:

Is your pain more like Job’s, Paul’s, or Jesus’? —Dr. Jerome Lubbe
Sometimes you have to ask yourself if your pain is something you have to die to. —Dr. Jerome Lubbe
My body was made by a Creator who knows more than me. —Dr. Jerome Lubbe
Sometimes we think silence is God’s absence. —Dr. Jerome Lubbe
There is nothing more significant on earth than a deep breath. —Dr. Jerome Lubbe
