For the Love of Our Children: Final Espisode

For the Love of Our Children: Final Espisode

We are wrapping up our series on Gender identity and kids. Today I'll share more stats, quotes and helpful tips to remember. Let's remember, most of all, as Christians, we have the God of hope on our side. He knows all and He created our kids to be alive for 'such a time as this'. I am praying that we all become equipped to help them live out their God given purposes and true identity.

God's commodity for thriving in life began in the Garden of Eden and included the boundary lines of gender, not to restrict us, but to give us true freedom and subsequently, our world could thrive. The big questions are: Who do you believe created mankind? Who do you believe knows what is best for mankind?

I talk about parents knowing what is best for their kids because they can understand more, anticipate what life will be like for them in the future and know pros and cons of choices. How much more then, would our Father know for us? Let's usher in peace for our children by trusting and believing what God our creator has said, and hold onto His healthy boundary lines for our kids, until they are able to do it for themselves.

Please rate, review and share this podcast so more people can hear and know the hope and healing that comes from sound psychology and Biblical truth. Let's be part of healing our world, one person at a time. Selah.

For the Love of Our Children: Part 2 w/ Lisa Mason

One of my favorite preacher friends is back with us:)! Lisa unabashedly, in humility, speaks Truth in love. And that's what we are going to do today. I've asked her back (check her out on episode #11) to chat with me about the Bible and gender. She gives us a crash course on the Biblical worldview regarding gender, and then we discuss the day's issues.

Listen in as we wrestle with the rise of gender identity confusion/dysphoria. We look at how the church addresses these issues redemptively and where the church may be missing the mark. Some of the questions we ponder are: How does a Biblical worldview help us navigate what the world is calling normal? How can we help? How do we have redemptive conversations? What difference can you and I make?

The tagline for this Podcast is "Helping a hurting world one person at a time." So, please, please, please (as Lisa would say), helps us spread the word by hitting the like button, forwarding the episode to your friends, commenting, or giving a review. In doing so, this allows the message to go far and wide. You can do this one thing today to make a difference for our youth. Let's spread Hope and Healing that comes from Biblical truth and sound psychology! Soli Deo Gloria.

Tips for Redemptive Conversations:

1. Listen, listen, listen

2. Ask clarifying questions. i.e. Where did you learn that? Who are you allowing to define you? What defines you? How do you feel about that? I don't know what that term means, can you explain it?

3. Address their feelings and emotions. Affirm them AND let them know they don't define them. Feelings are not their identity.

4. Lovingly point them to Jesus and HIs love for them. They are already defined and have an identity in Him. And He purposely made them male or female.They are just as God intends them to be.

5. Deal with their wrong thinking. (thinking that contradicts God's word).

6. Get the root of what their dysphoria or confusion is about. Search the internal. An external solution will not fix an internal problem. (it might give temporary relief, but cannot address the root issues).

7. Ask to pray for them. "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13

DO ALL IN LOVE and give Hope that is in Christ. We ALL can be made new creations through Him.

"For the Love of Our Children" Part 1

"For the Love of Our Children" Part 1

It is May and Mental Health Awareness month. I can’t think of anything better to focus on than our teens. I always loved working with teens, because I felt it was preventive medicine for their future. We have all heard the concerning statistics of how mental health issues are rising in teens. Suicide, anxiety and depression have skyrocketed (If you haven’t listened to my Episode #80 on "Hope for the Problem of Suicide, w/Matthew Sleeth", check it out). This is only the start of the mental health issues, so it’s hard to know where to focus.  What I have found over my 34+ years of counseling is that at the heart of most people’s problems is Identity. And during the preteen/teen years is where this exploration hits a high note. Who am I? What is my value? What is my purpose? Am I seen, known, loved, accepted?  On this Podcast for the next 6 weeks, we will be focusing on the the journey of identity. In the cultural climate we are in, that means we need to address gender identity/confusion and gender dysphoria, because it seems this is the ‘measuring stick’ youth (and adults) are being encouraged to use. As Christians’ how do we help kids navigate this journey? My goal in this series is to have conversations; give information, educate, empower and equip parents, grandparents, leaders, and youth. I will not tell you what to do or how to think, although some of my opinions (as well as my guests) will come through.  I want us to think about these issues thoroughly and be equipped to help kids do the same. Today is an introduction and laying of the groundwork to these conversations. This is not the an easy topic to explore, but it's essential. We have an entire generation of youth who need hope and healing. Let's join together and help change their world.

God Centered Friendships w/ Jan Firth

God Centered Friendships w/ Jan Firth

Friendship is a gift from God. And it takes all of God's resources to grow them, keep them healthy and thriving over time. It started in the Garden of Eden, as God created Adam and Eve for relationship with Himself and each other. It continues throughout the Bible narrative; David and Jonathan; Ruth and Naomi; Jesus and Mary, Martha and Lazarus, to name a few. And we were left to carry on the legacy here on earth. Thank God, all relationships in Christ will be made whole and healthy in eternity. Until then, we can count on the Holy Spirit to use our friendships to grow us, strengthen us, teach us and form us more into His image...if we allow Him the freedom to work.
Today I am introducing to you my God-ordained friend Jan, and we share a bit of what God has taught us and done in us through our friendship journey. I hope it edifies you. please like, rate, and share so more friends can hear God's hope and healing!

 About the book: “What if the Kingdom of God is straining toward the day when all God’s people are deployed in the work of the Great Commission? Women are already leading powerful movements around the world. The evangelistic explosion being documented in many closed countries is largely due to the leadership of women. Missionaries tell of the critical role of women in introducing the gospel to new groups. This book can help to equip a new generation of women to rise up with tools in hand to welcome and advance God’s Kingdom on earth.”

Where is God in the Midst of Tragedy?

Even more, tragedy has happened in the world since we chatted last. I want to share more hope and healing in the midst of this. I am sharing wisdom from "A Grace Disguised" by Jerry Sittser. And, of course, from the word of God. Share, like, and tell a friend. Let's share hope and healing amid these awful tragedies.John 16:33

“I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

2 Corinthians 1:3-5

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.” 33:27

The eternal God is your refuge,
    and his everlasting arms are under you.


Isaiah 60:19-20 

"…for the Lord your God will be your everlasting light,
    and your God will be your glory.

…For the Lord will be your everlasting light.
    Your days of mourning will come to an end."


1 Peter 5:10

"And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast."

Life Stuff!

Life Stuff!

Where are my procrastinators out there? Whoop Whoop! I am the Queen procrastinator and normally all goes well with that method. But (sigh) every once and while it catches up with me:)! But hopefully my Plan B is God's Plan A and this short reflection will edify you and encourage you in the Lord. I pray, maybe even bring healing to your soul, through the power of the Holy Spirit. Don't forget to help me spread the word; like, comment, subscribe and share this Podcast so God's hope and healing can be known! Thank you and God Bless! 

Scriptures:

Exodus 34:5-9Amplified Bible

Then the Lord descended in the cloud and stood there with Moses as he proclaimed the Name of the Lord. Then the Lord passed by in front of him, and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth (faithfulness); keeping mercy and lovingkindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin; but He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, visiting (avenging) the iniquity (sin, guilt) of the fathers upon the children and the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations [that is, calling the children to account for the sins of their fathers].” Moses bowed to the earth immediately and worshiped [the Lord]. And he said, “If now I have found favor and lovingkindness in Your sight, O Lord, let the Lord, please, go in our midst, though it is a stiff-necked (stubborn, rebellious) people, and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us as Your possession.”

Psalm 86:15English Standard Version


15 But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

Psalm 103:1-4English Standard Version

Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits,
who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,

17 But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,
and his righteousness to children's children,
18 to those who keep his covenant
and remember to do his commandments.
19 The Lord has established his throne in the heavens,
and his kingdom rules over all.

20 Bless the Lord, O you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his word,
obeying the voice of his word!
21 Bless the Lord, all his hosts,
his ministers, who do his will!
22 Bless the Lord, all his works,
in all places of his dominion.
Bless the Lord, O my soul!

1 John 4:7-11New Living Translation Loving One Another

Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. 10 This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.

11 Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other.

Maundy Thursday, Happy 2nd Anniversary, "I'm Not Ashamed of Jesus" day

Maundy Thursday, Happy 2nd Anniversary, "I'm Not Ashamed of Jesus" day

Maundy Thursday. The day of great distress and agony for Jesus. What an amazing day to look at how the One who was stressed beyond anything we could ever imagine being stressed by, handled it. This marks the day of the display of servant hood and foretelling of what was to come, with Jesus washing the Disciples feet and His agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. In the garden, He pours out His heart, to the point of sweating blood, due the realization and weightiness of what is about to come. Who else to better learn from on how to handle life's toxic stressors than the one who bore it all? (We will unpack that tomorrow:).
Also this day happens to be: "I am not ashamed of Jesus" day. So let's lift Him high; share His name and fame and maybe help someone get relief from their stress. You can do that through simple acts of love and care. Start by sharing with them this Podcast or others like it that bring the hope and healing that comes through Christ. As we share Jesus's love, let's not forget to explain the fact that He freed us from our sin that is a death sentence, through His death and resurrection. The Good News of the Gospel is that we can choose His death on the Cross as our payment. Then we have a 'get out of jail card' free from any penalty of sin and the access to be healed from the effects of sin! Now if that doesn't relieve stress, I'm not sure what can!
Thank you faithful followers for helping "Have You Not Heard?" thrive. Through your listening, sharing, rating, reviewing and encouragement, God is using this little Podcast to share His hope and healing to a hurting world. Let's keep on keeping on together and help His word spread.

Maundy Thursday Prayer:

Lord God,
You sent your Son into the world,
And before his hour had come,
He washed his disciples’ feet.
You had given all things into his hands.
He had come from you, and was going to you,
And what did he do?
He knelt down on the floor,
And washed his friends’ feet.
He was their teacher and their Lord,
Yet he washed their feet.
Lord God, help us learn from his example;
Help us to do as he has done for us.
The world will know we are his disciples
If we love one another.
Strengthen our hands and our wills for love
And for service.
Keep before our eyes the image of your Son,
Who, being God, became a Servant for our sake.
All glory be to him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
One God, now and forever.
Amen.

Thinking can lead to Joy and Hope!

Thinking can lead to Joy and Hope!

What you think becomes a belief, and your belief drives your feelings and actions. These lead to behaviors. And eventually, influence your destiny. Joy, encouragement, and hope from God’s truths are superpowers for our souls and insulate us against the wear and tear from the hardships and darkness that are swirling around us. You can learn to access
How do we obtain this joy and hope and keep it when the arrows of darkness are flying around us? That’s what we are exploring today. Grab a friend and join in.
Scripture:
2 Corinthians 10:5; Romans 12:2; Isaiah 30:15; Isaiah 1:18
10 Steps to help:
1. Think about what you are thinking about.
2. Be willing to seek the truth even if it clashes with your thoughts.
3. Decide if you will believe God's word or the other thoughts you are hearing/believing. Many of our beliefs come from childhood. Why am I still thinking this?
4. Remember that the temptation that got Adam and Eve kicked out of the garden (constant communion with God) was the 'tree of knowledge'. They wanted to know what God knew or thought they knew what was best. That is the root of original sin. Pride. “Pretensions that set themselves up against God”.
5. If what we think does not align with God's word/truth, are we willing to lay down our old thought and latch onto the new?
6. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Pray. Ponder.
7. Ask Holy Spirit to seal it in you.
8. Ask friends to help
9. Write it down.
10. Keep reading, singing, worshipping, praying, and remembering.

"Building Resilience" w/ Julie Caldwell

Julie is back! She was with us on Episode 67 talking about "True Worship". What I love about Julie is her authentic and practical walk with God. She shares how she reconnected with God through the Pandemic and the gold nuggets that she has gleaned from it. The over reaching nugget is  how to withstand the storms of life; building resilience. 

Julie makes the supernatural look natural; which I believe is what our true Christian walk is meant to be. This episode builds on the last episode (71) on "Discerning God's Voice", so if you haven't listened to that, check it out.  I am praying you are inspired to go deeper with God, entering into the grand adventure of an intimate relationship with Him. And then naturally lead others into that as you share the exciting (and challenging) ways that it is effecting your life.

"Pour Me Out"

In my weakness, you are strong

In my darkness, you are light

In my sadness, you are joy

In my fear, you are almighty

In my despair, you are hope

In my doubt, you are faith

In my trouble, you are peace

When I tremble, you are unshaken

I want to pour me out, so you can fill me up

I want to be a vessel for your purpose, Lord

I want to lay me down, so you can raise me up

A new creation in your perfect love.

I want to pour me out, I want to lay me down (2x)

so you can raise me up (2x)


Psalm 28:7New International Version

The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,
and with my song I praise him.

True Love Part Three

True Love Part Three

Today my friend Kisa Raye (Season 1 Episode 22; Season 3 Episode 5)  and I are exploring the impact of God's love on our hearts and souls. Listen in as Kisa shares how meditating, pondering and unpacking the Cross has altered her life and those she has studied with. Knowledge in the New Testament emphasizes knowing God not simply as an intellectual apprehension, but a response to faith and an acceptance of Christ. It includes perceiving, learning, understanding, willing, performing, and experiencing. (https://www.biblestudytools.com/dictionary/know-knowledge/)

This is the time for us to be shored up in Biblical knowledge of God's love. There is a hurting world out there who need God's love. Let's KNOW Him and His love so we can be conduits for others. Please help us get the word out by commenting, sharing and rating this Podcast.

"Matchless: The Life and Love of Jesus", Angie Smith 

Tony Evans (The Tony Evans Bible Commentary, pg. 1377)  1 John 4:9-10 1. Love is visible 2. Love is an act of will 3. Love is sacrificial 4. Love serves the unlovable 5. Love addresses sin 

“We have come to know [by personal observation and experience], and have believed [with deep, consistent faith] the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides continually in him.”
1 John 4:16 AMP

"Therefore become imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father];  and walk continually in love [that is, value one another—practice empathy and compassion, unselfishly seeking the best for others], just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God [slain for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance." Ephesians 5:1-2 

"There is no fear in love [dread does not exist]. But perfect (complete, full-grown) love drives out fear, because fear involves [the expectation of divine] punishment, so the one who is afraid [of God’s judgment] is not perfected in love [has not grown into a sufficient understanding of God’s love]." 1 John 4:18

True Love Part Two

True Love Part Two

What is True Love according to the Bible? And how did Jesus exhibit it? We continue the exploration today. I am praying that Holy Spirit will speak to each heart listening and for our hearts to be expanded to receive God's Agape love. With that, then we will be enabled to love with genuine love and become vessels through whom God can use to accomplish His purposes here on earth. There is a world of hopeless, dying folks who need Jesus' love. Let's drink deep and then go and share!

Jesus set boundaries: He gave us boundaries for our safety and well being: Go and sin no more; Don’t tell anyone about this healing; Get in the boat and go to the other side; remain in me; obey my commands. “But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen” (Matthew 6:6).  Luke 5:16, John 14:6, Luke 16:13, John 5:44

True Love Part One

True Love Part One

Here we go...diving into the deep waters of God's love. YIKES!! I am paddling in shallow waters and need Holy Spirit's help. That's GOOD NEWS, because He will take this little offering and do more with it than I ever could. 

Our audacious goal for this mini-series:) is to have a true roadmap of what love really is. TODAY, we will look at 1. Biblical Love and 2. Why it matters.  Specifically 3 areas: 1. Receiving His love so we can share it with others, 2. So we can stand in truth, and 3. We can walk in obedience. Grab a friend and let's have fun learning about and growing in this unending journey into the heart of God's love. Where the Grand Adventure begins!

Challenge:
Study how Jesus loved in the Gospels:

1. How did He love? 2. What is He showing us about love?  3. What do you like or or not about His example? 4. Are you willing to conform your idea of what love is to His truth? Why or why not?

True Love: Introduction

True Love: Introduction

Today we start unpacking Romans 12:9-21.  WOAH! It is jammed packed full of goodness. So much so, that I feel like we need to take our time and do a deep dive into the truths and other scriptures related.  So join me, invite a friend, and let's look at a TRUE roadmap of what love really is. We need this in our current culture, which is defining love individually, based on feelings, whims, and latest trends. God is love and He never changes. Let's follow Him into the 'gold mine' of love that can help change our hurting world, with His hope and healing.

Transformed Minds and Hearts - Part Two

Transformed Minds and Hearts - Part Two

Well, my best laid plans obviously were not God's:)! After the last episode, He kept showing more about mind transformation in relation to Romans 12:1-2, so it became obvious we were supposed to continue to explore these scriptures and truths. I hope it is helpful to you on your journey of transformation. I'm praying it inspires you to invest the time to get vulnerable with the Lord (and other safe humans in your life), so that your thought life can become inline with His word. This is where the 'grand adventure' begins...let's do the work to bring more of God's Kingdom here on earth. Hope and healing to a hurting world.

Transformed Minds and Hearts

Transformed Minds and Hearts

Romans 12 is a 'now' book! It elaborates how as redeemed people, through Christ, we are to live in an unredeemed world. Meaning a God-less world. A world that doesn't elevate God's existence and truths. Such a world can be confusing and make us unsure of how to act, what to think and who to believe. What I love about the Bible is it is as applicable today as it was all those thousands of years ago. Paul gives us direct and clear instructions on how to live in these times. And our motivation is God's mercy and the empowerment to live as redeemed people is through Christ's Grace. We all have access to it...we just need to utilize it. Let's make an impact on this hurting world with God's hope and healing through His truth and grace. Get your worship on!!!!

Full of positive energy and great wisdom, Jules shares honestly and authentically about parenting challenges. She proclaims, 'she's not perfect and learning as she goes, as we all are'. In my opinion that's one of the reasons she is a wise sage regarding this journey! Jules shares lessons she's learned during the Pandemic and navigating social media and cultural issues with her kids. I would say, her best parenting tip is pointing her kids to Jesus and nurturing an authentic, informed relationship with Him.
