Let's Be Cleere

Relationships-- the fabric of our lives. Friendships, family relationships, romantic relationships-- all of them-- they are wonderful and hard and rich and heartbreaking and life-giving and raw. If there is anything the Lord wants to revive in your life, it would be your relationships. In this episode, we get to chat with relational health expert, Dr. Melanie Ross Mills, who is a licensed Temperament Therapist and has been described as "everyone's heart doctor." She is a nationally recognized author, speaker, and podcaster and has been on television networks all across the country. She is the creator of the Life Bonds framework, which provides all kinds of content to people to help people establish emotional boundaries, find healing, and thrive in their relationships. Don't miss today's convo-- I believe it will give you permission to release what isn't serving you, walk in humility, learn better boundaries, and nourish your relationships in a new way. linkCode=ml1&tag=cleerecherry-20Follow Dr. Mel on instagram at @drmelaniermills

What does it really mean to experience "revival" in our lives? What does Jesus say about it? Does it always have to be something big, serious, and intense in order to experience revival? In this episode, we dig into what Jesus means when He says He longs to revive every part of our lives-- no compartmentalization! How do we invite Him into every area, especially the dry, dreary, and even dead parts of where we are that we are afraid to be exposed? God wants you to experience the fullness and abundance of abiding in His presence and truly believing that He can restore anything.

What is humility? How do we protect it amidst a culture that prioritizes perception and flesh that fuels our pride? What are the pitfalls of pride and what does it steal from us? How can we operate in humility in our everyday lives and let it transform our daily rhythms?

They dive into the heart behind his new book, "I Bet You Think This Book Is About You: How to Avoid the Pitfalls of Pride and Gain the Rewards of Humility."

Are you walking through a season of transition and feel a little overwhelmed by all the change? Are you in a time of being hidden— plowing the field, waiting, and wondering if God sees you? Are you hungry for “more” but aren’t quite sure what could cure your restlessness?

Whatever it looks like for you, I believe this interview will meet you in that place. We talk about the hard truths about growth, the mercy of being hidden in Jesus, and the desperate need for us all to slow down, assess what God is actually calling us to, and rest in the unknown, knowing that there is One who knows everything and He is with us.

Digging into the last word of the Focus series and what better word than the name above every name— Jesus!

Where do we even start with talking about the person who provides meaning to all other things, changing the timeline for every person and place, and who died so that we can have life?

In this episode, we sort through some questions like what was most important to Jesus? And what did He do when He was discouraged?

I believe this episode will deeply encourage you and help you sit at His feet and that? It is the richest, most honest, most loving, safe place to be.

We are all in seasons of waiting…whether it be navigating a season of transition, waiting on an answer to prayer or a promise to come to pass, yearning for healing or restoration to happen or whatever it may be, we all know how hard the process of waiting can be. And yet— it is often the surest way to welcome holiness and understand what it actually means to have peace beyond understanding…because only when your preferences and timeline are challenged can your true source of trust and contentment be revealed.

In this episode, we dig into how to wait WELL. What does Jesus say about it? Why does it feel so hard sometimes? How do we prepare our hearts to wait?

No matter what your circumstances look like or where you find yourself right now, this episode will meet you right where you are.

In this episode, we walk through ten things that the Holy Spirit continuously reminded me of during our recent trip to Texas for Sledge’s physical therapy camp. Though not revolutionary, I firmly believe these reminders will challenge, encourage, and refresh you in whatever season you find yourself in right now.

Life on earth is short and yet, we spend so much time focusing on things that don’t matter and then trying to understand why our soul feels restless. That is mercy— pure grace— that we would hear the Father’s whisper in a million different ways as He calls us back to Himself and assures us that the satisfaction, richness, and meaning we are searching for can only be found in and through Him.

Praying that this episode meets you where you are. What is God speaking to you right now? Are you listening? Have you stopped long enough to hear Him?
