No one is used to this. This is a time where everyone is basically forced to sit still, but expected to keep it moving. Being still doesn't necessarily mean doing nothing. Being still can mean being quiet or being at peace. During this time there is still so much pressure to perform, but people forget that having no choice but to be alone with yourself is a task in itself. You don't have to come up with a new hobby or a new skill to be considered productive. If you can spend time with yourself and recognize the issues and problems you've been distracting yourself from, coming out of this with a better habits is more productive than new hobbies. Be still in this time. Know who God is and what He is to you. Build skill in prayer, or knowledge of His word. That's productivity. That's something you can carry even after this quarentine.

Number 14:18  says ‘The LORD is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.’ Oftentimes we deal with emotions, issues and habits that we don't fully understand and that we know aren't healthy. We get so stuck on the notion that, "That's just how I am..." not realizing that who you are is a result of the decisions that were made before you were even a thought. It doesn't stop at generational alcoholism or addiction. Generational curses can penetrate the way you communicate and even the way you love. Being a curse breaker doesn't just mean to be different from your parents. It requires you know what they're inadvertently passing on and making sure you're ready to push back.

Millions of people are dealing with mental health issues everyday and only a fraction of those people are seeking treatment for it. Anxiety and depression are real things. A lot of times we try to negate or suppress our own thoughts and emotions because we don't feel like we're in control of them. As Christians, we know to pray and put our hope in God, but sometimes, our minds combat our trust in Him. Matthew 6:26-27 says, "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?" It's so important to remember that you are valued, you are loved, and you mean something. Anxiety makes it its mission to convince you of what is not true. It's your job to remind yourself what is.

Pain tolerance is the maximum level of pain that person is able to tolerate. Every person has some sort of pain threshold, in every sense of the word, and ways that they deal with pain. In this episode, we have an open conversation about what pain looks like, how we deal with pain and what God says about it. First of all, what can you handle?
