Hello, People of Purpose!

We are in week six! Thank you for committing to this process and for your emails, messages, sharing this content with your friends! It would help us if you would leave a review or rate us on your favorite podcasting app. Thank you in advance for your continued support! 

The Interview:  I am excited to share a very candid and transparent conversation. Jasmine Lowery, CEO/Owner of Agape Love Events, is an incredible woman of God. She is an event planner, coordinator, lead florists, designer, educator, minister, wife, and mother. With all the different hats Jasmine wears, none of them define her. Her identity is found in Christ, and through His grace and mercy, she spreads her spiritual gifts to thousands.

The Topics:Jasmine and I discuss a topic close to her heart. We dive into relationships, love, abuse, and self-discovery. You won’t want to miss this conversation as I hope it serves as an icebreaker for your small group or individual sessions. We can depend on one another to help weather the storms of life. By making God our priority, we can be led by Him to those who will guide us.

The Session: As we continue to work through our anger, I pray we will become better equipped to act according to God’s intention. Who do you need to forgive? Have you forgiven yourself? Let’s learn and move beyond by acknowledging what we can control and leaving the rest to God.

~Torrie

ASK YOURSELF: Am I the villain in someone else’s life?

Hello, People of Purpose!

◊In today’s episode, we turn the conversation inward to focus on the root of anger. Asking ourselves the question: how did we get here? Learning the origin is at the heart of this exploratory self-examination.Let’s make positve changes! Our Given Purpose® , the ministry is intensifying the efforts to help you walk in your purpose. By taking control of anger, arrogance, pride, and fear; the four prevailing emotions that keep us chained to chaos.

Making Progress

We are in week five of anger, of placing it at the forefront of our minds. Our anger, in large part, is on trial, and by the end of this session, all the uncertainty, doubt, and trauma will prayerfully be neatly packaged in a way to make a decision, a choice of how we will deal with and recover from the person we call anger.

The Bridge

On Tuesday’s podcast, we focused on Psalm 38, a penitential Psalm known to express sorrow for sins or faults. We discussed why the psalmist was expressing such anguish and grief. It is believed Psalm 38 was written by, written to, or written for King David to communicate his distress over an abandoned purpose. The consequences of his sins were multiplied as he sought to cover them up.

The Threat

Anything that threatened my freedom, my independence, my worldly ideals caused bitter, sabatorial, anger, further harming my relationship with God. I was blind to that Biblical truth. Our focus scripture for Anger Makes Me Sicker is Psalm 40:12 “For evils without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me so that I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed within me.”

~Torrie

Scriptures in this episode:

James 1:21, Psalm 40:12,Proverbs 10:12,Galatians 5:19-21,2 Samuel 13:2, Psalm 37:8

Journal Prompt:

What makes me sicker the actual illness or my belief about it?

Hello, People of Purpose!

What has anger done to you physically? That was the question I pondered, as I cycled through multiple times physician visits. I went from doctor to hospital to the emergency room repeatedly in two weeks. The pain experienced was not normal; it radiated throughout my body, and at points, I was unable to decipher exactly where the discomfort came. Could it all be in my head? Was I suffering mentally? Was this anxiety at work physically? I prayed. Although my illness received a diagnosis after being tested at length, a part of me believes it was all due to repressed anger.

As you listen:

For this podcast, we use Psalm thirty-eight as our focal scripture and frame it with James chapter one, verse twenty-one. Psalm thirty-eight was written by, written for, or written to King David and would have had music accompany it. The person in this psalm was suffering from sickness, social alienation, and guilt. Psalm thirty-eight is known as a penitential Psalm, which means to express remorse. Penance is to express sorrow for sins or faults. Forgiveness requires repentance. Why was the psalmist expressing such anguish and grief? In 2 Samuel chapters 11-24, we read of King David’s struggles. The purpose he abandons to satisfy a temporary fleshly desire led to trouble and distress both with his family and with the nation. David’s attempt to cover up his sin was multiplied by the painful consequences.

It has been widely reported that anger, sadness, and unforgiveness cause various physical health problems. Anger triggers the body to respond spontaneously. Ever heard of the fight or flight response? Defense or Offense? Defensive in resisting the psychological attack; or offensive the act of attacking the individual who dares stand in your way.

Biblical context:

We read in Psalm 38 9:10, “You know what I long for, Lord; you hear my every sigh. My heart beats wildly, my strength fails, and I am going blind.”  King David is suffering emotionally. Anger may not be the first idea to come to mind, but I would be livid. I would be so angry, disgusted, and downright indignant if I had to take refuge because one of my children, whom I loved, turned others against me. I believe it is safe to say that while King David was fearful of God’s wrath, he also was agitated himself. It is possible to be both. To have a deep reverence for God’s mighty power and feel anger in our flesh. Remember, a significant difference stands between knowing and doing. King David knew of his errors, and he did not act out of anger.

Scriptures in this episode:

James 1:21, Psalm 38:3-16

Journal Prompts:

What illness is caused by my anger?

* Who have I not forgiven because of my anger?

 

Keep writing, praying and God as your priority!

Hello, People of Purpose!

We are in week four! I didn’t think going through this process again would be any different, but I am evolving. The same questions I answered a year ago, I have new answers now. I am encouraged by the growth and how God continues to stretch me and my imagination. I pray you will continue to go through this process and journal as you do when we reflect on where we were, the prayers that were answered, the change in mindset, WOW! It is remarkably incredible.

Scriptures in this episode:

James 1:19-21, Ephesians 4:17-32

Journal Prompts:

What has anger stolen from me?

Can I be honest about my past so that I can break patterns that no longer serve the person I am?

What do I do each day that will bring me closer to be like God- truly righteous and holy.

Keep writing…

Hello, People of Purpose!

We are in week three! Thank you for committing to this process and for your emails, messages, and sharing this content with your friends! 

I am excited to share our second interview of 2020 with you! Brian Richie is a radio personality, community activist, mentor, coach, and father. He is sharing part of his life story with us. Brian’s testimony is one that will resonate with many listeners. 

As I stated in this interview, Brian and I have known each other for almost three decades. It baffles me that people can move within the same circles and not get to know one another. What you will hear today is one of the first and most extensive discussions that has transpired between two people who live on opposite sides of the same street. Our conversation made me pause and think of the many individuals I wished I had talked to, but now it’s too late. I issued a challenge in this episode and, I pray you will follow through with it. 

As we continue to work through our anger, I pray we will become better equipped to act according to God’s intention. Who do you need to forgive? Have you forgiven yourself? Let’s learn and move beyond by acknowledging what we can control and leaving the rest to God.
