• This Week: Fathers provide the foundation of security and significance in our life. However, if this foundation is broken, absent, or in great need of repair, the father wound impacts every area and every relationship in our life. Deep down in the crevices of our soul, whether we realize it or not, our father is who we need, who we long for, and who we crave for love and acceptance from in our life. The good news, it’s never too late to experience freedom from this baggage. Even if your father has died, God can heal this deep wound in ways no human can.

 

Key Phrase: “He will turn the hearts of the father to their children…” Malachi 4:6

• This Week: Fear and anxiety are often believed to be synonyms with similar symptoms. But they are not. Fear and anxiety are like cousins; they are different although closely related. Anxiety is an unfocused, objectless, future-oriented fear. Anxiety is an irrational, “what if” kind of worry. Anxiety is our body’s natural response to stress. It's a feeling of worry or apprehension about what is about to come, or what may never come. Thankfully, scripture gives us the antidote to our anxiety!

• This Week: Starvation is being deprived of unconditional love and emotional nourishment. It’s growing up where love, acceptance, worth, and security wasn’t given freely or unconditionally. It’s also where there is malnourishment with appropriate physical touch. As a result, one will be on a desperate search for what is lacking, often with foolish appetites; where what is bitter will taste sweet. Thankfully, God can provide us the proper nourishment we need to live a fulfilling life of deep satisfaction.

 

Key Phrase: “but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet.” Proverbs 27:7

• This Week: Enabling is often disguised as “love” but is in fact, not loving at all. Enabling is even disguised as “helping” but is in fact, hurting. When we enable, our irresponsibility will eventually become someone else’s responsibility. Enabling allows for lying, laziness, promiscuity, cheating, anger, etc. to foster, grow, and produce a harvest of pain for many people. There is life-giving freedom when the baggage is vanquished.

Key Phrase: “I would judge his family forever because of the sin he knew about; and he failed to retrain them.” 1 Samuel 3:13
