Family Show 12/8/2023 - Finding Yourself in the Fire of the Faith Candle

If God is the baby wrapped in rags lying in a manger, then does that make you the one God left the throne room of paradise to be near, even in the cold and dark?  If you’re ready to stop chasing shadows of who you are and spend your Advent enkindling your faith so you can find your identity in the flames of God, then slide down the mountain with Eleanor, Brenda, and Randy as they seek to cast themselves into the arms of the God who always seeks to save us and always seeks to be near.

SHOW DESCRIPTION:

 

Imagine if God took away everything you never said “thank you” for. Seriously, what if God took away everything you never said thank you for? Not just the big stuff either, the things we take for granted on a daily basis, the things we don’t even think about until they’re gone – like we don’t think about our health until we’re sick or we don’t think about the fact that we can run or walk until our knees hurt, right? So what are some ways we can practice appreciation for all the gifts God has given us? How can we really cultivate a disposition of gratitude daily, not just on Thanksgiving? We're excited to welcome back Sr. Geralyn Schmidt of the Sisters of Christian Charity to help me come up with some tangible ways to practice giving thanks in our daily lives.

 

Family Show 11/24/2023 - Hoping for Emannuel This Advent

Is prayer asking God for everything we want and then, if we want it enough or believe enough or are good enough, or if God’s in the right mood, getting it?  Or is prayer finding peace in the presence of the One who loves us most?  If this Advent what you hunger for is a hope that could never leave your side, then come light a candle with Eleanor, Brenda, and Randy as they seek to shed light on the God whose love longs to pierce your poorest, darkest places so He raise them up to Heaven.

We had split into two episodes to fully do it justice, and its finally time to get to part two. Today we’re going to dive deeper and talk about what unhealthy levels of stress, worry and overwhelm look like, when we should consider seeking the assistance of medication, and tactile ways we can improve our stress levels naturally.
