Solo Parent

So often we feel overwhelmed... like we have nothing more to give... like we are at the end of our rope. Those are the times we need to be reminded that often the antidote is to 'just do it'. Today host Kimberley Mitchell discusses jumping back into life.

As our kids get older, disrespectful attitudes develop. Sometimes we wonder, who are you... what have you done with my little boy/girl? When we know how much we do for our kids, it's hard to not want to express that when we are faced with ungrateful or hostile words from them. Maybe there is more going on that what they are saying... Today we discuss how their words of disrespect may actually be compliments. With host Robert Beeson.

It's really hard to admit it, especially out loud, but at one point or another most of us Solo Parents have felt so low that we feel we just cant go on. Or we just don't want to go on. If we are honest, sometimes it sounds like it would be easier if we were just not here anymore. But, there is hope. Today, in a very courageous conversation, Joye Lynn discusses how she got to the place of actually pointing a loaded gun at herself and how she found the hope to not go through with ending her life. If you have ever been in the same place, know that there are people that care and want to help. Suicide is more devastating than what you are facing right now and there is hope - Please call for confidential support if you are in distress 1-800-273-8255 - National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

Here are the verses that literally saved Joye's life

Isaiah 41: 10-14

10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.?I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

11 "All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced;?those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish.?12 Though you search for your enemies, you will not find them.?Those who wage war against you will be as nothing at all.?13 For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand?and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.?14 Do not be afraid, you worm Jacob, little Israel, do not fear,?for I myself will help you," declares the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

Deuteronomy 31: 8-9

 8 The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."

Joshua 1:9

9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."

Psalms 23

1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he refreshes my soul.?He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake.?4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley,[a]?I will fear no evil,  for you are with me;?your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.?You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.?6 Surely your goodness and love will follow mall the days of my life,?and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Psalms 9: 7-10

The Lord reigns forever; he has established his throne for judgment.?8 He rules the world in righteousness and judges the peoples with equity.?9 The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.?10 Those who know your name trust in you,?    for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.

Psalms 27

1 The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear??The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?

2 When the wicked advance against me to devour[a] me,?it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall.?3 Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear;?though war break out against me, even then I will be confident.

4 One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek:?that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,?to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.?5 For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling;?he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a...

It can be maddening when we hear things that are said about us that aren't true. Or sometimes a little true but completely exaggerated. What do we do with that? Try to defend ourselves and our reputations or maybe just start to isolate from others? Today we are discussing how to deal with accusations and the frustration that it brings, with host Robert Beeson.

When the bottom drops out and all the things that we use to hold on to as part of our identity fall away, it's easy to feel lost. We hold on so tightly to the things that we do (mother, wife, husband, executive, teacher) often we mix up those roles that we play with who we are and so when there is a change to any of those roles we go into an identity crisis. Today Paige Harley, a high conflict mediator, discusses how she personally started discovering her true identity and created steps to move towards it.
