Today we’re going to continue our
conversation on attachment but through the lens of our relationship with the Lord and how our
earliest relationships have influenced that. We’re also going to take a look at the “Father
Ladder” tool and how we can better process our experiences with our caregivers with the Lord.

Ungodly beliefs and our image of Heavenly Father
How other family relationships can influence our view of the Trinity (Father, Son and
Holy Spirit)

October 22, 2020284 | Attachment and Breaking Free from Generational Patterns
On this episode of Mercy Talk, we continue our conversation on attachment as we
discuss what it means through the lens of breaking free from generational patterns. As
we’ve discussed here before, so much of our upbringing directly affects the way we
show up in the world. Today, we’ll dive into what it looks like to identify both positive and
negative patterns in our family and how we can choose the legacy we leave for those
who follow in our footsteps. Also, in this episode…
Working through wounds and being intentional about our healing
Forgiveness and grace for those who hurt us
Our new bloodline in Jesus Christ!

October 15, 2020283 | Attachment and Our Ability to Handle Conflict
Whether it’s stress from work, an argument with our spouse/roommate or dealing with a
challenging child, conflict can cause us to posture ourselves from a place of defense rather than
from intentionality in our relationships. Conflict is a part of life and cannot be avoided (at least
not forever), so how do we recognize unhealthy patterns and strategize with better ones? Join
us today as we explore the different ways attachment influences conflict and can help us
become more self-aware as we move towards healthier relationships. Also, in this episode…
Why putting off necessary conversations cannot be counted as “resolution”
Healthy conflict and our ability to handle the emotions of others
Expressing feelings of disagreement without the fear of abandonment

October 08, 2020282 | Let’s Talk Attachment
No matter our age, the relationships we had growing up play a key role in the way we relate to
others. Even now, many of us are making decisions based on the way we connected with our
caretakers. So how does this affect our ability to attach with friends, partners or even our kids
in a healthy way? How can we recognize unhealthy patterns and approach our relationships
from a more secure place? Let’s dive in as we talk about attachment! Also, in this episode…
Why repairing our mistakes with others is more important than trying to be “perfect”

October 01, 2020281 | Asking for Help when You’re Hurting
In a world that encourages the self-made man or woman, it can be hard to admit when we need
help…much less counseling for ourselves. In today’s Mercy Talk episode, we sit down with our
Founder and President, Nancy Alcorn as she shares her own story of processing grief and reaching out
for help. Don’t miss this timely conversation as we discuss the importance of needing others on the
road to healing. Also, in this episode…

September 17, 2020280 | Aftermath of Suicide
In this follow up conversation on the topic of suicide, we dive into the sobering reality that
mental health issues and suicidal struggles are no stranger to those within the church. What’s
more, we have people in our congregations who have been directly affected by suicide and are
silently suffering. As followers of Jesus, how can we do a better job of offering care in the midst
of grief, shame and even anger? Join us today for this very important discussion. Also, in this
episode…
Addressing mental health issues from the highest clinical and deepest spiritual
standpoint
Things to remember when reaching out to someone who’s lost a loved one to
suicide

September 03, 2020278 | Roadblocks to Freedom
On this episode of Mercy Talk, we continue our conversation on freedom and what kinds of
things can get in the way as we journey there. While most of us would say freedom is
something we want, the investment in our freedom can feel like another matter altogether.

Common lies that may be holding us back from freedom
Fear and stigmas surrounding our freedom in Christ
Why professional counseling AND Jesus can exist together!

Freedom is something we’re extremely passionate about here at Mercy…but what does that
look like on a practical level and what are some misconceptions we often have about it? On this

life of freedom in Christ! Also, in this episode…

July 30, 2020275 | Counterfeit Hospitality and Healthy Boundaries
On this episode of Mercy Talk, we take a close look at what it means to extend genuine, missional hospitality in a time where inviting others into our homes can be very challenging. As
followers of Jesus, how can we still practice missional hospitality in the midst of this season?
How do we lay down our hidden desires to have “everything all together” in favor of vulnerable, honest relationships where we share the hope of Christ?
What is more, how do we do this in a practical, regular way as to not run the risk of burning out? Join us today as we discuss these
questions and many more!
