Rock Solid Families

The last of our 3 part series - The God Shaped Hole.  In this episode we speak with Josh Barth, the director of Celebrate Recovery, Trinity Christian Church.  Josh shares his own story of working to fill the emptiness in his life.  He choose drugs, alcohol, work, even his wife, and all felt empty.  It wasn't until he had a complete surrender to the Way of Christ, that he was able to fill the void and create the necessary balance in his life.

In episode 206 we discussed our God-Shaped Hole.  This week we get a little more specific to identify the areas that help us define what makes us this God-Shaped Hole.  Learning about these specific needs and understanding how God intends us to fill them is an absolute life changing gift that He desires for all of us. 

Control, Love, Respect, Trust, Affection, Security, Purpose, and Faith make up these parts of the hole, now let's understand how God desires to feel them.

Often we get to a point in their lives in which they feel like they are chasing the wind.  They are in pursuit of things they believe will complete them or at least bring some level of contentment. The journey seems to be never ending.  The result is frustration, depression, and even a loss of hope.  Listen in this week to get a better understanding of what you may be chasing and how you can stop this meaningless endeavor and replace it with true and lasting refreshment.

If your family is anything like the majority of families, you frequently find yourself overly committed.  Your calendar is booked with well-intentioned activities from kids sporting events, church activities, and extracurriculars that drain your very last second of the day.  In this episode we discuss the cost versus the benefits of being so overly committed to so many activities.

Activities require energy and energy is not free.  Everything from the caloric energy it takes for the tasks at hand to the hours of time that you have to pull from something else.  Time and energy are not infinite, so what is this crazy schedule costing you?  Is it worth it?

Are you tough?  Are you tough enough?  Toughness or resilience is the ability to get back up once you have been knocked down.  The ability to endure a hardship without breaking you.  Whether you are 5 years old or 85 years old, we all need to have a level of resilience in us if we are going to live in this world.  The question we might as ourselves is - How can I be more resilient?

We all have our perspective on various things. But, does our perspective keep us from seeing and understanding someone else's perspective?  If so, this can be a major source of conflict in a relationship. 

In this show, Merrill and Linda tackle the challenges of being locked in on your own perspective.

In the final part of the How We Love series, Linda and Merrill discuss what the ultimate love looks like in the marriage.  This love has only been perfect through Jesus Christ. Being perfect as Christ was perfect is not something we can attain here on earth, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't be striving for it.

In part one of How We Love, we discussed the various love styles that often put us in a negative loving pattern.  In this show, part 2, we discuss how to love, well!  In this show we discuss the various aspects of what love looks like in the marriage when it is done well.   The many different points discussed must start with the awareness of wanting to love in a healthy manner.

Loving people can be complicated.  Trying to bring in our personality and past experiences and mixing them with another's personality and experiences is no easy task.  In this show we talk from the book, How We Love, about the love styles that often are imprinted on us from early on in our life.  Sometimes the love styles are positive, but sometimes they can work against us.  Learn more by listening to this week's show.
