Living Easy with Lindsey

This slightly untraditional Valentine's Day episode is as heart-challenging as it gets. I had the incredible opportunity to speak with Delilah, long-time radio host, who I grew up listening to from childhood into my adult years. She speaks about the only kind of love that Jesus showed in His lifetime: unconditional love.

As an adoptive mom of twelve children, Delilah touches on topics that challenge the way that we unconditionally love: how we love on the widows and the orphans, the way we share and gather stories, the way we speak to our children, how we love Christians, sinners and unbelievers, and how we connect in friendship and in community.

As Delilah says, "The only kind of love that exists is unconditional love".

Happy Valentine's Day!

In today's conversation, Lindsey and Jesse Maestas discuss friendship, their different perspectives on 'showing up' for people, and Jesse candidly reveals his own struggle with the temptation to navigate life independently. He addresses men who grapple with discomfort in seeking help, supporting, or expressing love for their friends. Silently battling financial burdens and parenting stresses, these men often confront a sense of fear or pride surrounding their vulnerabilities.

Within this discussion, the episode explores the misconception that friendship requires sacrificing the greatest things in life. Contrary to this, scripture teaches the integral role of friendship within the church, the body, and fellowship.

Lindsey shares insights into managing expectations surrounding others' involvement in her greatest achievements, shedding light on the emptiness and loneliness that can arise from unhealthy expectations.

In today's heartfelt conversation, Lindsey Maestas speaks with Havilah Cunnington about hearing God's voice -- and what that really means. She talks about victim mentality, ownership, and partnering with God in our walk as a Christian. She shares about how we try to be so low-maintenance toward God that we then limit our own relationships with Him. Lindsey and Havilah discuss the controversy around the words often heard in the church, such as, "God told me" or "God changed his mind" which has created bitterness or indignance toward God speaking to Christians. They discuss life experiences, such as their bonded experience of facing postpartum depression as Christians, how Christians experience God, and how to love our friends and family better as we learn more about how they experience God in their faith walk.

Let's get uncomfortable. ;-)

In today's episode, I am discussing the often tricky topic of talking to your children about sex, drugs, and alcohol.

From the importance of starting early, communicating about sex and sin consistently, and staying proactive with phones and social media. I am sharing real-life scenarios and age-appropriate strategies, encouraging you to be transparent about your own past and present mistakes with a focus on the Gospel.

The love you have for your child is a higher priority than your comfort. Oral sex, sex, masturbation, drugs, and alcohol should be regular discussion topics within your home to remove the shock factor and to solidify your children's understanding of God's intention and plan for these things.

Lily Meschi's journey took her from Iran to the United States as a teenager, and it was a transition that left her feeling like she didn't quite fit in. Despite having lived an affluent life in her home country, she suddenly found herself in a cramped apartment, sharing living space with other family members. The move also led to the painful separation from her father, who had always been her hero.

Lily Meschi's story also encompasses her conversion from the Muslim faith to Christianity. She vividly describes the pivotal role played by family friends in sharing the Gospel with her. Through their loving witness, she experienced a profound transformation in her heart, as she encountered the love of Christ that led her to embrace her Christian faith.

During our conversation, Lily and I discussed the importance of being bold in our faith, sharing Truth openly and loudly from a heart of love, rather than shying away from sharing our faith with others. This boldness in sharing the Gospel has been a defining aspect of her journey and her commitment to her Christian faith.
