MercyTalk

Today on MercyTalk, we’re so excited to jump into the very last key to freedom, and it’s one that is so essential in helping us to integrate all the other keys into our daily life!  So for today’s episode, we’re going to be talking about Maintaining Lifelong Freedom and diving  into the “4 stay ins”! This final key is about focusing on key lifestyle choices that help us maintain freedom and wholeness for life. Join us as we talk about how consistent practices can make a big difference in our freedom journey with Jesus! 

We are so glad you’re back with us for another episode of Mercy Talk as we continue to revisit the Keys to Freedom! Today, we’re diving into a key that can be easily misunderstood: “Using Your Authority in Christ”!  We have an enemy who is out to steal, kill, and destroy our freedom in Christ, and he will take any opportunity to apply pressure to our life. Understanding your authority as a believer is a game changer, because while Jesus certainly bought our eternal freedom, He also made a way for us to stand in our authority and walk in greater freedom and wholeness here on earth as well! Join us today as we dive into this pivotal conversation. 

Hey Mercy Talk family! We are so excited that you’ve joined us for today’s show as we dive into key 5 of the 7 keys, “Breaking Generational Patterns”! All of us inherit patterns of living and thinking that are passed down to us whether we like them or not. Without realizing it, we typically adopt our parents’ and grandparents’ approach to life. The good news here is that God has given us the power to identify and reject negative patterns in our family’s history and establish new patterns that bring blessing to our future and our children’s futures as well! Join us today as we break down what it means to walk in freedom for ourselves and the generations in front of us! 

On today’s episode of MercyTalk, we’re especially excited that you’ve joined us as we dive into the key, “Choosing to Forgive”! Many of our biggest issues and deepest struggles in life are rooted in a painful event. And more times than not, that event was connected to a relationship, to a person. Therefore, the topic of forgiveness is unavoidable. While it may feel impossible in our own strength, God designed forgiveness to actually lead to healing and freedom through His supernatural design. Join us today as we talk about this significant key and how it plays a pivotal role in our healing journey. 

In this episode of Mercy Talk, we’ll discuss a pivotal key to freedom – Healing Life’s Hurts. When the hurts of our lives go unhealed, they affect us in ways that we may not even realize. They can cause us to hold back from life or operate from a place of fear. They can come out through anger or bitterness and shape who we become as spouses, friends, parents, and coworkers. Through this key, we invite the Lord into the hurts of our lives, ask for His perspective, and allow Him to do the healing that only HE is able to do so that our hurts are no longer allowed to impact our lives in destructive ways. Join us today for this important conversation! 

In this episode of Mercy Talk, we’ll discuss what some consider to be the most pivotal key in the Keys to Freedom study: Renewing the Mind. Whether we realize it or not, our daily thought patterns are affected by a belief system that was primarily cultivated in our earliest childhood years – a belief system about God, ourselves, others, and the world around us. Over time, our thought patterns develop well-worn “trails” in our minds, and it’s this belief system that eventually determines our daily behaviors, words, and attitudes. Join us today for this important conversation!

Hey Mercy Talk listeners! In this week’s episode of MercyTalk, we’re going to be moving into the first of the seven keys to freedom and this one is really what we would call the “master key”. We’re talking about Committing and Connecting to Christ! It’s so easy for us to become distracted with whether or not we look like we have it all together, but Jesus invites us to view freedom and wholeness from a different perspective -  as an inside job that starts at the root level of our lives. Join us today as we consider what it means to be free from the inside out!  

Hey all! We’re so excited you’ve joined us for another episode of Mercy Talk! We are so thrilled to announce that in just a few short few weeks, we are going to be releasing our updated edition of Keys to Freedom that we’ve been working on for one full year! In today’s episode, we want to give you a preview of what you can expect (updated leader guide, TONS of training videos and KTF video teaching series), as well as set the stage with the foundational principles that help bring so much clarity to the teachings in Keys to Freedom ! Join us as we walk through this study over the next few weeks and share how the Lord has been moving in new ways! 

This week on Mercy Talk, in honor of National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, we wanted to discuss the important topic of eating disorders and how we can better serve those who are struggling. If you’ve been around Mercy for a while, you know we are BIG believers in addressing the root of the problem rather than just the visible behaviors of a life controlling issue. Join us today as we re-visit this very important conversation with Brooke, Melanie and Rachael! Also, in this episode… 

• The importance of inner healing rather than just managing behavior 
• Helpful ways to start hard conversations with those who are struggling 
• Mistaken beliefs surrounding eating disorders  

On this very important episode of Mercy Talk, we wanted to take some time to shed light on what can often be a misunderstood topic: self-injury/harm. We want to encourage you that this episode is meant to be a resource in your journey in helping others, but it is by no means exhaustive. March 1st is “National Self-Injury Awareness Day,” so, we wanted to spend some time talking about this issue that can feel very complex, as well as some ways you can better love and support those around you who are struggling with self-harm.  Also, in this episode… 

• The importance of not projecting our own discomforts/fears on those who are sharing their struggles with us 
• Questions to ask if we’re concerned someone is self-harming 
• Owning our unique role in helping others and referring them when we need to
