00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:15.200
The Great Exchange, Pain to Promise, Winning in the Game of Your Life, by Sally J. Webb.

2
00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:16.960
Forward.

3
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:22.560
It is an honour to introduce The Great Exchange by Sally Webb, a work that captures her deeply

4
00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:28.560
transformative journey and offers a roadmap for anyone seeking healing, freedom and fulfilment

5
00:00:28.560 --> 00:00:30.560
in their walk with God.

6
00:00:30.560 --> 00:00:35.560
Sally, a valued member of our brilliant School of Leadership, has not only studied these

7
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:39.280
principles but has courageously lived them out.

8
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:44.460
Her life has been a testament to the profound transformation that happens when we exchange

9
00:00:44.460 --> 00:00:52.280
old wounds for new grace, fear for love and striving for surrender.

10
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:57.140
The entire School has come to love Sally for her vibrant and transformational energy which

11
00:00:57.140 --> 00:01:01.740
serves as a testimony to her own growth in Jesus.

12
00:01:01.740 --> 00:01:06.860
As I read through this book, I was struck by three key themes that beautifully encapsulate

13
00:01:06.860 --> 00:01:12.700
Sally's message – the God Box, the concept of reframing our past, and the invitation

14
00:01:12.700 --> 00:01:16.420
to embrace a life aligned with God's promises.

15
00:01:16.420 --> 00:01:20.860
First, Sally introduces the idea of the God Box or Tissue Box.

16
00:01:20.860 --> 00:01:26.180
She encourages readers to physically and spiritually release pain by writing down hurts and leaving

17
00:01:26.220 --> 00:01:29.900
them in the God Box as an act of surrender.

18
00:01:29.900 --> 00:01:35.700
I believe this is a profound, tangible way to offer up our burdens to God, creating space

19
00:01:35.700 --> 00:01:39.340
for his love and peace to take their place.

20
00:01:39.340 --> 00:01:45.380
Sally's personal testimony of how this practice brought her freedom is nothing short of inspiring.

21
00:01:45.380 --> 00:01:51.380
Secondly, Sally addresses reframing the past, not seeing life as something that happens

22
00:01:51.380 --> 00:01:56.060
to us but rather for us and through us.

23
00:01:56.060 --> 00:02:02.100
She guides us through a shift from a victim mentality to one of empowerment and gratitude.

24
00:02:02.100 --> 00:02:03.660
This reframe is powerful.

25
00:02:03.660 --> 00:02:08.820
Sally's ability to look at even her most painful experiences and see God's hand at

26
00:02:08.820 --> 00:02:15.140
work has reminded me, and will remind each reader, that we are not defined by our past

27
00:02:15.140 --> 00:02:17.980
but refined through it.

28
00:02:17.980 --> 00:02:23.900
Finally, Sally invites us to live a life aligned with God's promises.

29
00:02:23.900 --> 00:02:30.060
She shares openly about finding her true identity and how embracing God's love enables

30
00:02:30.060 --> 00:02:34.420
us to live authentically and boldly.

31
00:02:34.420 --> 00:02:39.900
Her joy in discovering a life full of meaning and alignment with God's heart is contagious.

32
00:02:39.900 --> 00:02:45.340
She shows us that a life of intentional alignment with our Creator's plan is possible, freeing

33
00:02:45.340 --> 00:02:51.860
us from fear and filling us with peace, purpose and abundant joy.

34
00:02:51.860 --> 00:02:56.940
My hope is that as you read this book, you will experience these profound exchanges for

35
00:02:56.940 --> 00:02:57.940
yourself.

36
00:02:57.940 --> 00:03:03.620
Sally's journey is an invitation to let go of what no longer serves you and to embrace

37
00:03:03.620 --> 00:03:09.300
a life filled with hope, freedom and the joy that comes from walking hand in hand with

38
00:03:09.300 --> 00:03:10.900
God.

39
00:03:10.900 --> 00:03:14.820
Prepare to be encouraged, challenged and transformed.

40
00:03:14.820 --> 00:03:17.620
This is a journey worth embarking on.

41
00:03:17.620 --> 00:03:27.220
Sincerely, Dionne Fancel, MBA, PhD, Founder and President of I49 Group

42
00:03:27.220 --> 00:03:29.500
What people are saying.

43
00:03:29.500 --> 00:03:35.100
The special thing about the excellent book is that it is not just a personal development

44
00:03:35.100 --> 00:03:40.020
book or just an inspirational story, it is both.

45
00:03:40.020 --> 00:03:46.300
The spiritual elements add a third dimension, something I believe is truly unique.

46
00:03:46.300 --> 00:03:52.060
Sally's personal journey resonates with me for being authentic and raw and asks me questions

47
00:03:52.060 --> 00:03:54.540
of my own narrative.

48
00:03:54.540 --> 00:04:01.740
Emily Britton, CEO of Britton Builders, mother of five fabulous young men.

49
00:04:01.740 --> 00:04:06.020
The main thing that appealed to me in the book was honesty.

50
00:04:06.020 --> 00:04:11.460
There was no attempt to sugarcoat things or make the past abuse and difficulties seem

51
00:04:11.460 --> 00:04:17.380
less than they were, nor was there any attempt to romanticise things.

52
00:04:17.380 --> 00:04:23.980
Liv Stevenson, BA, Legal Transcriber, Poet and Writer

53
00:04:23.980 --> 00:04:29.180
I love people's stories and seeing God's hand in them even though they weren't believers

54
00:04:29.180 --> 00:04:30.180
yet.

55
00:04:30.180 --> 00:04:34.020
So that always captures my heart of God's goodness.

56
00:04:34.020 --> 00:04:38.860
Chad Witt, Regional Facilitator, Brilliant Church, outstanding husband and father to

57
00:04:38.860 --> 00:04:39.860
many.

58
00:04:40.340 --> 00:04:43.780
I liked that it was genuine, honest and real.

59
00:04:43.780 --> 00:04:47.900
Lynette Breen, BSc, Life Coach and Elder.

60
00:04:47.900 --> 00:04:54.180
There is something so powerful about a person's testimony and I love how Sally uses hers throughout

61
00:04:54.180 --> 00:04:57.940
as a building narrative that supports the teachings.

62
00:04:57.940 --> 00:04:59.940
I enjoyed the inputs from the

63
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.200
cited sources and elaborations Sally made surrounding these.

64
00:05:05.200 --> 00:05:08.360
One such source that really stood out to me

65
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:10.120
was Tony Robbins,

66
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:13.320
"'If it's in your head, it's dead.'"

67
00:05:13.320 --> 00:05:15.900
Combined with how Sally builds off this.

68
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:20.440
Leah Musakwa, wife, mother, communication student.

69
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:23.560
"'I liked your story.

70
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:26.640
"'I enjoyed the suggestions you made along the way.
