It's really amazing to see how much of our childhood experiences with our parents shape how we view God when we become adults. 

If our parents were uninvolved, harsh, or absent, then we will tend to see God the same way. If our parents were involved, loving, and present, then we can make an easy transition to seeing God be the same way. 

The key to understanding God, however, is not through our experiences with how our parents raised us, but rather through filtering those experiences through the truths found in God's Word. It is in and through his Word that He chooses to reveal Himself to us. 

On today's episode, Dr. O'Hare and I discuss:

 - how parents influence our view of God,

 - how parenting styles play a role in how we view God,

 - how we develop healthy and unhealthy attachments to God and others, and 

 - some ways to develop a secure attachment style. 

If you want to understand the truth about how God relates to us as his children, and how parents involvement in our lives influences that, this is a show you'll want to tune in to.

Fear.

It was the first emotion experienced after Adam and Eve sinned against God, and it is also the strongest emotion we experience in everyday life, though at different levels. Consequently, it has also significantly impacted how we understand ourselves in relationships.

Fear stems from shame as we see in Genesis 3. And the fear that Adam and Eve experienced is that of being FULLY KNOWN which is one of the prominent fears in relationships.

For those who are dating, engaged, or married, this is an episode you’ll want to tune in to.

Drs. Elias and Denise Moitinho and I discuss:
 - fears in experiencing intimacy with others,
 - fears of commitment and what that means for a relationship,
 - fears of trusting others after being hurt, and lastly,
 - some practical steps you can take to face those fears.
 
 If you are currently dating, engaged, or married, this is an episode you’ll want to tune in to. :)

PORN....again!?!

Yep, we're talking about it again this week, because this is an issue that has affected many marriages and families. Our hope with this episode is to bring clarity and wisdom in knowing how to biblically deal with this issue.

The feelings are the same (betrayal, not being "good enough", anger, resentment, disillusionment, unworthiness, loneliness, desperation, and of course, shame), but seem to be experienced at a much greater degree.

For those who are married or engaged, this will be an episode for you to tune in to.

In today's episode, Dr. Thomas and I discuss:
- how wives feel when their spouses use porn,
- how to address it in marriage,
- how to discuss the topic with your children,
- shame in discussing sex with each other and where the shame stems from, and
- how to develop a biblical view of sex for marriage.

If you are currently dating or strongly considering to enter a relationship, this episode is for you.

**You can still request Dr. Thomas's list of questions to ask a spouse or give to a married couple struggling with this so they can find healing. Email me at [email protected], and I'll send it your way.

PORN.

Just seeing the word can trigger a lot of emotions. 

For women, it can often spark feelings of betrayal, "not being good enough", anger, resentment, and disillusionment. For men, it can often stir feelings of unworthiness, loneliness, desperation, and of course, shame. 

Pornography use has continued to increase with each passing year, and it has negatively impacted how men and women view and treat each other. Sadly, this is even the case for Christian couples. 

For those who are dating or thinking about dating, this is an issue that needs to be discussed. The question is, when and how? 

In today's episode, Dr. Thomas and I discuss:
- what pornography is,
- what it does to the relationship,
- when and how to discuss the topic, 
- whether or not to break up, 
- myths about sex in marriage, and 
- practical steps to take if you’re dating a porn user.

If you are currently dating or strongly considering to enter a relationship, this episode is for you.

It's been said that leaders often travel alone due to feeling misunderstood, and this is especially true when it comes to ministry. Along with the feelings of loneliness and being misunderstood, there are moments where a pastor or leader may feel shame and fears in leading their teams. 

It is in those times when one can exercise faith and know that "even in our fears, God is at work." 

In today's episode, Pastor Jeff and I discuss:

• his book "Called to Cooperate: A Biblical Survey and Application of Teamwork,
• how leaders experience shame in leadership,
• fears leaders have when leading, and 
• a biblical application on how to lead a team.

If you're a pastor or ministry leader, this is one you won't want to miss. 

If you've been looking for a podcast to help you understand how shame impacts your relationship with God and others, then this is the podcast for you.
