God Attachment Healing

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. 

**If you would like to receive Dr. Thomas's list of questions to ask the person you're dating, email me at [email protected], and I'll send it your way.

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.

I hate hearing when abuse happens in the church. The reason for that is because those sins are not reflective of the bride of Christ that is described in the Bible, and every time the church fails in this, it makes Christians appear as though they don't take it seriously. Though there are various other forms in which abuse can take place, sexual and spiritual abuse seem to be the most common.  

It wasn't until 4 years ago when it became a hot topic, and many types of abuses in the church started to be exposed. Today, we hear Dr. Janyne's story.
 
 In today's episode, Dr. Janyne and I discuss:

• what shame is, 
• her story on the abuse she experienced in the church,
• how that affected her view of God and the church, and 
• how God used a gifted counselor to help her in the healing process. 

This is one you don't want to miss.

Shame is such a powerful emotion, and it is seen everywhere, even in places where you would least expect it--the church. People who shame others are often experiencing shame themselves, and when you have a large group of hurt people, then you're likely going to see them hurt others as well. 
 
 In today's episode, Pastor Rob and I discuss:

• what shame is,
• how people can differentiate between shame and guilt
• how to find safe people we can be vulnerable with,

Reading through the book of Genesis, specifically through the first four chapters, I found that one of the first emotions experienced after the fall was shame. I then noticed that there were 3-4 characteristics of shame, and these are each experienced by us through different experiences in our lives. As I pondered this earlier this year, I made the decision to change the name of the podcast to focus more on these elements of shame. 
 
 In today's episode, I discuss:

• what shame is,
• what Genesis 3 teaches us about shame and relationships, and 
• discuss what topics you can expect for this season.
