Being grateful doesn't come natural to the human body and mind. We have to workout our attitude towards being and living greatful just like any other habit. Listen how Mayra shows us how we can move to being more grateful even in the midst of heardache and pain.

What does it mean to be thankful and what does it mean to be content? What is the importance of being content in all things and how will it strengthen us to do ALL things? Listen in while Mayra explains why Paul says "I can do all things through Christ..." as being part of a thankful lifestyle.

Offended at God? Something not talked about much, but more common than we think is when we are offended at God for something in our lives; un-answered prayer, hurt, mistreatment, sickness, death, etc. Listen how you can navigate being offended at God in our last podcast this season of Forgiving.

Forgiving yourself. Probably one of the most difficult people to forgive is our ownselves. Listen as Mayra guides us in ways we can forgive even the most unforgivable person we may know and most familiar with. Ourselves.

What does it look like when forgiveness needs to happen even within the church. Our guest invite, Susie Marquez

We are a result of our parent's form and way of parenting whether the lack of or the "overprotective" parenting. Now that we are parents or future parents, the same grace that we want for us needs to be the same grac that we need to give to ours.

What if the offendor never apologizes or recognizes the offense towards you? Can you and will you forgive without receiving what you long to hear; an acknowlegement and/or an apology. What can you do if you never do?

In this episode, Mayra lays it all out, confession of a time when she was the offender and the process she went through to make mends and seek closure. Listen how we can easily become prideful and ignore our own faults and weaknesses. Reality hurts, but it is a necessary part of living free and unguarded.

Recap on previous episode, and focus on how forgivness actually makes you stronger and not weaker. But it's a process and some take longer than others, but doesn't mean it's less powerful. We can't extend mercy, grace, and forgivenss if we aren't first willing to receive it.

We first apologize for no intro or music, this one recorded differenct and couldn't edit.
What does the process of forgiveness look like? How do you know you are healed from the hurt and offense. And what does that look like? *Guest, Veronica Banda
