The desire to be healthy makes sense. But what do we really mean when we say that we want to be healthy?
How do we measure that?
What or who determines if we are healthy?
What about mental health?
What does a healthy person look like?
Today we take a look at what it means to be healthy and how we can be healthy again, even if we have experienced trauma.
 Join Jenny as she asks explores this topic and shares what her personal healing journey looks like.

My podcast is Psalm 127 - A Man's Psalm

Join Pastor Bob for another Soul Soothing episode.  
Psalm127 focuses on a man's world...in particular a man and his family.  It's known as a wisdom Psalm because it was written by the wisest man who ever lived...Solomon. Solomon addresses the areas of a man's home, a man's community/city; a man's work, and a man's family (in particular, a man's sons)

In all these areas Solomon basically says they are all meaningless....UNLESS...the LORD is the center of them all

Solomon also wrote the Book of Ecclesiastes, concluding the Book with the same idea this Psalm conveys...God brings meaning and purpose to life. Solomon's words can be summed up this way:

God is the true source of meaning and purpose in life. Apart from Him, life is vanity/meaningless. Since life comes from Him, is a gift from Him, it, therefore, has meaning, purpose, and destiny.

The life man lives along with all he has is temporary.
But the life God gives is eternal.

So live life with an eternal perspective and it will affect every area of the temporary.

Success...why is it so threatening?

How do you define success?
How does society define success? 
How does your success measure up to other people?
How do men handle the women in their life that are "more successful" than they are?

Join Chris as he shares his lived experience as being seen as less successful than some of the people in his life and how he handled that.

"Men, it is possible to have successful women in your life without it being threatening."

Co-Existing Feelings & Jenny's search for her biological family

Have you ever had more than one feeling at once? 
Have they ever been seemingly opposite or maybe even conflicting? 
What is that like for you? Is one feeling more important than the other, or does one weigh heavier than the other? 

Join Jenny as she explores her experience of co-existing feelings both in general while talking about her life experiences...but also as she explores these co-existing feelings as she shares more of her journey about her search for her birth family. And you might be surprised to hear just how that is going. There's quite the update!

 Psalm 126 - A Prayer For Restoration

It's a Soul Soothing episode with Bob, and he is looking at Psalm 126, a prayer for restoration.

Psalms 120 - 134 are Psalms of Ascent...or songs the people of Israel sang as they journeyed to Jerusalem

There are sad songs... happy songs - and everything in between.  
They are the songs of life,  depicting life's journey.

Today's Psalm is a song of mourning over what was once experienced in the past.

Psalm 126 is also a prayer.  And in it we find a simple formula to craft our own prayers.

The formula is simple: Remember the Past...Believe for the Present

It is a simple prayer that will carry us through the ups and downs of life.

I Had An Idea

Have you ever had an idea but didn't realize how following through was going to effect others?

What were the motivations behind those ideas?

Did those ideas come with expectations of others?

Join Chris as he talks about some of his ideas throughout his marriage, how those ideas effected those he loves, and the expectations that he unwittingly put on others.

"Sometimes we put expectations on the ones we love to make us feel good so that we don't have to face whatever it is that is keeping us from feeling good".

Do you just change your mind because you can?
Do you take a while to think about changing your mind?
Are you allowed to change your mind?

What happens after you change your mind?
What if people don't get it? What if they don't understand?
What if it changes your relationships?
Do you as a person change when you change your mind? What if you do change?

Is it still worth changing your mind?

Tune in to hear Jenny's process of changing her mind, and some of her answers to these questions.

Connecting with our Inner Child

"The problems of our adulthood, were the solutions of our childhood"

We all have an inner child.  It's the piece of our personality that still feels and reacts as we did when we were a child. 
It’s the piece that thinks, feels, and acts a certain way now because it reminds us of when we were little.
It’s the piece that acts a certain way now because it’s what we did as a child in an attempt to have our needs met.

Join Tina today as she talks about our inner child:

• What they need
• Why they need it 
• How to provide it all for them
• The benefits we reap as adults
