Episode 4: Speaking Up and Boundaries

Have you ever held something in because you were afraid of how the other person might react? In this episode, Lead Pastor Nancy Berwid unpacks how speaking up honestly and lovingly can transform our relationships. She shows that truth in love is not about nitpicking or keeping score, but about creating closeness and building trust.

Nancy explains why it matters to make requests openly instead of expecting others to guess what we need, and how boundaries protect what belongs to us (our time, values, choices, and emotions) without trying to control anyone else. She also highlights the importance of gentleness, humility, and affirming relationships even during difficult conversations.

Speaking up is not about pushing people away but about being for the relationship. Done with love, it creates safety, reduces distance, and allows us to experience the deeper connection God designed for us.

Episode 3: Trust and Trustworthiness

How do you know when someone is truly safe to trust? In this episode, Pastor Nancy walks us through the difference between extending forgiveness and extending trust. Trust isn't something to give away lightly. It is something earned over time through patterns of honesty, humility, and responsibility. We explore what trustworthy behavior looks like, how to recognize red flags in relationships, and how guarding your heart isn't about building walls but building wisdom. Whether you're rebuilding trust or learning how to offer it wisely, this episode invites us to do both with clarity and courage.

Episode 2: Doing Your Part in Relationships

What if the biggest breakthrough in your relationship came not from waiting on someone else to change but from changing yourself? In this episode of Love Life to the Max, Pastor Nancy challenges us to focus on what we can control: our own thoughts, actions, and responses. Instead of blame or withdrawal, we are invited to grow in humility, self-awareness, and emotional responsibility. Whether you are navigating dating, marriage, or friendships, doing your part means showing up with courage, grace, and boundaries. Let’s get into it!

Are you getting a bigger sense of God's love for you and how much He has always wanted you to be his child? Pentecost is a day of celebration because people were able to get born again for the first time, receive holy spirit, and become children of God! Amazing! 

God chose you! God sees you! God is calling you! 

We can't feel deeply for others if we can't connect in our hearts. God and Christ's love make it safe to feel and not be guarded. We can be transformed! 

God's plan to send Jesus is amazing! It took a while to find a faithful woman like Mary, who said yes to the calling God had on her life to help raise Christ, and her awesome cousin, Elizabeth, who was also a huge encouragement.  

Time at the feet of Christ is powerful! He made a way for us to be with God, so the time we spend with Him has a huge impact on our hearts, how we love others, and how we receive love. 

God's vision for your life is bigger! This series will help you build a vision for how wide and big God's love is for you! 

God's love is unconditional! It does not come with borders or barbed wire.
