TOPIC
This week we’re discussing Benefits of The Relationship Between Justice and Forgiveness
PAIN POINT
We know we’re supposed to love one another. But, does that mean we just ignore how others hurt us and we continue experiencing pain? Many of us may think if we forgive, then we are not supposed to seek justice—in other words, forgive and forget. But what does it look like to forgive and seek justice simultaneously?
3 MAIN POINTS
Today, we cover three main points:
1) Forgiveness and a desire for justice can co-exist
2) What forgiveness is not
3) Ways to pursue justice

TOPIC
This week we’re discussing How to Become a Forgiving Person
PAIN POINT
We aren’t born with a natural propensity toward forgiveness; it’s a trait that we have to develop because it runs counter to our instincts. As single parents, we often have significant trauma, pain, and obstacles that make forgiveness especially hard—it seems there are often more reasons to not forgive than to actually forgive. How can we become a more forgiving person?
3 MAIN POINTS
Today, we cover three main points:
1) Why forgiveness is so hard
2) Our need for and benefits of forgiveness
3) Boundaries in forgiving

3 MAIN POINTS
Today, we cover three main points:
1) Challenges of Self-Forgiveness
2) The Four R’s of Self-Forgiveness

TOPIC & GUEST
This week we’re discussing Moving Forward With Courage with Annie F. Downs.
PAIN POINT
When we become single parents we experience loss of a relationship, spouse, or our envisioned future, and with that often comes the loss of courage. We get stuck and don’t know how to keep going, much less face the challenges ahead. How do we find the courage to move forward toward living our fullest life?
GUEST BIO
Annie F. Downs is a bestselling author, sought-after speaker, and successful podcast host based in Nashville, Tennessee. Engaging and honest, she makes readers and listeners alike feel as if they’ve been longtime friends. Founder of the That Sounds Fun Network—which includes her aptly named flagship show, That Sounds Fun—and author of multiple bestselling books like “100 Days to Brave” and “Remember God,” Annie shoots straight and doesn’t shy away from the tough topics. But she always finds her way back to the truth that God is good and that life is a gift. Annie is a huge fan of laughing with friends, confetti, soccer, and boiled peanuts (preferably from a backroads Georgia gas station).

TOPIC & GUEST
This week we’re discussing Living Fearless with author Jamie Winship
PAIN POINT
It’s always inspiring to hear someone confidently say, “This is what I am called to do” or “This is who I am.” Yet, many of us aren’t sure what our true identity is. Instead, without even realizing it, we function in a false identity created by fear, shame, trauma, or negative perception. How do we come fully into our true selves to courageously live on purpose?
GUEST BIO
Jamie Winship has decades of experience bringing peaceful solutions to some of the world’s highest conflict areas. After a distinguished law enforcement career in the metro Washington, DC area, he worked in high-conflict areas in the Middle East for almost three decades. Jamie has worked with leaders in professional sports, business, education, law enforcement, government, non-profit, and other sectors. He and his wife Donna are co-founders of Identity Exchange which helps individuals and teams discover new levels of creativity and resiliency within the framework of true identity. He is the author of Living Fearless: Exchanging the Lies of the World for the Liberating Truth of God.

TOPIC
This week we’re discussing Courage To Doubt.
We often think of doubt as something negative—as a weakness or a lack of certainty. And if we’re doubting our beliefs and they’re wrapped in our identity, it can be especially scary. Yet, doubt can actually be a positive thing. How can we encourage our kids to have a healthy relationship with doubt?
3 MAIN POINTS
Today, we cover three main points:
1) Viewing doubt as either “good” or “bad” (*only spending a short amount of time on this point, focusing mainly on Topic #2 and #3)
2) Courage to doubt faith
3) Courage to doubt ourselves
