Forever Love

"I'm happy in my singlehood and have a desire for a Christ-following man. I've been divorced for 6 years from a toxic marriage. I still have fears about finding the right man for me that is on the same spiritual path as me. How do I overcome those fears? - Angie

The Bible tells us to "fear not". This command does not come from God because He expects us to never experience fear. The emotional experience of fear is a physical sensation that helps us in survival situations. The key is to teach our brains to recognize real dangers and stop reacting to imagined fears. 

Fear can be paralyzing or it can put us into fight or flight mode. When we are scared we have a tendency to cancel plans, avoid confrontations and be defensive. 

In today's episode, I'll share 10 ways to help you overcome fear.

Secondly, we can learn to more accurately identify what we are really afraid of. 

Third, we can pause and learn what our fear is there to tell or teach us. There are often great revelations to be discovered in the face of fear. So rather than continuing to avoid it, I want to encourage you to befriend it. This simple act is essential to neutralizing its power over you. 

Next, we will talk about take about letting go of the fears surrounding your God-given desires. Rather than wishing for something we'll talk about how to get your brain on board with achieving your goals.

This episode is loaded with quick, powerful, and Christ-centered ways to help you move through fear and embrace your God-given desires. I can't wait to share them with you.

What is my role in going from just talking to a Christ-centered relationship that leads to marriage?

In today's episode, we're going to talk about the importance of intention. If you would like to make an offer of your love, time, and affection towards another person, you must be clear about your intentions.

I saw a man whose wife died and within 3-5 months he was remarried. They say that God did the whole thing and I don't really doubt it.

In this episode, we're going to talk about the problems that arise when we over-commit to a particular thought and how to determine which thoughts are worth dwelling on. I'll explain why some people appear to be able to have a relationship with very little effort and why others experience the opposite.

Is having a non-negotiable list ruining my chances of marriage? 

Thank you so much Kimmie for asking this question.

Sometimes we have a habit of collecting a lot of ideas and expectations about what a relationship should look like and we turn this into a laundry list of non-negotiables that are getting in the way of honoring that God-given desire for marriage. 

In this episode, we will talk about your freebie non-negotiables that are a bare minimum standard for any Christ-centered relationship to take place, and then how to determine what your non-negotiable list should look like. 

We will also talk about the underlying fear of judgment that usually sparks the creation of exceptionally long and unhelpful lists. 

I'd also love to invite you to join us for the 31-Day Challenge. The next one starts on July 1st and another starts on August 1st.

Welcome to Season 4 Summer Shorties.

"A wise woman builds up her house but the foolish pulls it down with her own hands" Proverbs 14:1

We all have blind spots in our lives.

Sharing this with you feels incredibly vulnerable. I think that some people are going to judge, leave negative comments and unsubscribe. I decided to do it anyway because I would rather you know the truth about who I am, and the things I struggle with than let you believe I've got it all figured out.

I don't.

As I’ve said before, the emotion that is driving an action can make a world of difference.

In the life code the action might be the same,

Saying, if you do X I will do Y…

But if that statement is being fueled by fear… it’s probably being used to control or manipulate the other person into doing what you want.

In today's episode, we are looking at the differences and similarities between boundaries and ultimatums. I'll share some of the boundaries we have in our marriage and what it might look like if we turned them into ultimatums.
