Lessons from Living

Life coach Robyn Moore describes the process of taking captive your thoughts, and therefore taking back your life from forces that seek to control you.  This is scriptural, described in 2 Corinthians 10:5 as "taking captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."  Robyn tells her personal story of how her life was transformed, once becoming familiar with this process.  Now, she seeks to share with others what she has learned through painful experience.  We discuss how Satan influences our thoughts, how God's love for us allows us to live in freedom, how the freedom we gain effects those around us, how our time on earth prepares us for eternity, the body/soul/spirit connection, how others help us see truth in community, and much, much more!

Author Emily Thiroux Threatt intimately knows the subject she shares, having lost two husbands, and many other family members besides.  But you don't have to have suffered a loss by death to have suffered loss, as Emily explains:  we have all experienced loss in our lives, and can learn how to walk the experience in as positive a way as possible.  In addition to grief, we talk about gratitude, living kindly, and why love is everything.

Author Marni Foderaro discusses how God intervenes in one's life--as a woman who was raised as an atheist, but came to belief in God as a young  child, from simply witnessing God's hand in her own life.  Today, she believes there are no coincidences, but only expressions of God's faithfulness in our lives.  We discuss dealing with adversity, why it's important to tell our stories, why everyone has worth, and the power of truth.
