Ep 39 - How to Stick Together in Adversity Adversity can make or break a couple – if they let it. You’ve heard stories and seen movies about couples that go through adversity like caring for a sick family member over a long period of time or financial struggles and other seemingly insurmountable odds. The struggle was too much and they split up. We’ve also heard opposite stories of couples banding together and becoming stronger as they weather the storm together. What is the difference? What is their secret? Relationship with God – When we rely on God, we don’t have to shoulder the burden alone and feel the intense weight of it. It is important that we look to the One greater than ourselves. Look outward – When we go through struggle it’s tempting to look inward and think about how difficult times are and what we don’t have. In those times, we need to remember to look outward and see that others are going through a hard time, too. God will often ask us to help someone else when we are going through something difficult because he knows there is healing in it for us. Treat each other with kindness – Pain and discomfort often bring out the worst in our attitudes. It’s during times like this that we need to take a step back and have more patience with our loved ones, particularly or partners. It can be tempting to lash out with our words in a space that feels safe, but we need to remember that our significant other is most likely hurting as well and treat them with patience and kindness. Communication – We need to talk with our partners regularly to maintain an understanding of what we are feeling and what we need. Reach out and ask for help when necessary. Communication helps squelch added struggles that arise from lack of talking to each other. Equally yoked – Shoulder the burdens of the struggle together. Better yet, throw the burden on God’s shoulders and follow him together with your partner. God has the perfect plan for your life. What are some strategies you have used that have helped you and your partner stick together during a struggle? Please leave a note in the comments below.

Ep 33 - Love Notes For The Brokenhearted 06/19/2019

Ep 33 - Love Notes For The Brokenhearted Through the relationships that we have there is a heartbreak that we experience when things don't work out like we expected them to work out. When that happens there's a chance that brokenhearted emotions set in. So in today's post we are going to talk about the love notes for brokenhearted people. Hopefully, we can encourage you to get through the hard times and know that you will see better times ahead. After all, you have never seen a person down in the dumps all of their lives, right? Show Notes For Episode 33 Love Notes For The BrokenHearted Jeremiah 31:3 3 The Lord appeared to us in the past,[a] saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness. Jessica shared with us how, when she was a 4 year old, she went to a meeting with her mom and the pastor called up the children to the stage and Jessica went on her own accord. After all the talking was done to the parents and adults, the pastor spoke to the children and then to Jess. He told her a word from the Lord and quoted Jeremiah 31:3. Clothing In The Spirit Clothing yourself with love is what we all desire in the physical, but everything starts in the spiritual. So start clothing yourself in LOVE from the start - in the spirit. That's just the start of things when it comes to clothing yourself in the spirit. There's Jeremiah 29:11 where we are able to cloth ourselves with hope for the future In Isaiah 61:10, clothing ourselves with joy, salvation, along with the robe of righteousness. As we cloth ourselves in the fruits of the spirit, we realize that there are times that might make us a little nervous and that's when we are able to know that we can be right under his wing. The name of the lord is our strong tower! How exciting is this to know we have at our disposal the power, might and clothing to do God's work in our lives. Relationships are what we are created to learn here on Earth. Give yourself a head start by getting dressed in the spirit and then keeping those clothes perfect by hiding under Gods wing. Romans 8:38-39 states that we cannot be separated from God's love. Knowing these verses inside and out without having to consult the bible is how you'll see them come alive in your life. David Asks For Mercy According to your UNFAILING LOVE is how he knows he is still loved even after committing adultery and murder. Love keeps no records of wrong (Corinthians) Final Thoughts Through our knowing who God is in our life, we are able to apply these things to our relationship. Jess states in the podcast that typically the problems exist when we are believing something about us that isn't true. It's never really truly us that is the problem when we have relationship problems... or is it?! Relationship problems directly affect us but that doesn't mean that it's our fault. That has to be analyzed and almost all the time, you'll find the tif you start going into a mode of improving yourself, you'll start seeing your partner reflect what you've done to improve yourself. Making you better is the best answer for solving relationship issues. Which is why we tell you of God's love towards you. It should be encouraging to know you can be loved no matter what state you're in right now. We hope you get answers and encouragement in this episode of love for the brokenhearted.

Ep 32 - How To Deal with and Heal Narcissism [Part 2] 06/12/2019

Ep 32 - How To Deal with and Heal Narcissism [Part 2] Today we live in a world full of social media that encourages us to take selfies, do videos to help others get to know one another. That's great but when does it go too far? That's when we need to know how to deal with and heal narcissism. Part 2 of our discussion is going to be finishing up what we started :) Below are the show notes that you can use to follow along in our podcast. Common Traits Of A Narcissist Sense of entitlement / superior Lack of empathy manipulative need for admiration (strong) selfish more than giving more aggression than usual Let's be clear here. We all, at times, have at least one of these in our lives. It's up to us to realize that which shouldn't belong and improve ourselves day by day. It's the person that has a majority of these traits that crosses the line which then the narcissist label is applied. Difficulty Taking Feedback Practice Mindfulness Be Realistic With Yourself. The devil drives someone to action (check out episode 3) God leads through compassion and love (check out episode 30) Perfection is never expected by God. Where the spirit of the lord is there is liberty. (check out episode 24) Being perfect in the bible means to be spiritually mature (check out episode 7) Be Honest With Yourself. A Quick Side Note It's quite interesting that God would put scriptures about love and relationship in the same area of the bible. What ORGANIZATION! Getting back to how to deal with and heal narcissism. You have to believe the truth, and in truth. If you have no solid and firm beliefs, the question has to be asked. What do you believe in and how easily will it be to take you down a road that was meant for your destruction? We believe that the best way to get narcissism out of your life is to start working on improving yourself first and then watch the change happen in your mate. A narcissist would make you believe that whatever he/she says is ultimate truth and you’re there to serve and make their way a priority.
