Every family has some sort of dysfunction. An estranged father, alcoholic uncles, divorced family, and angry relatives. And one thing you can count on this time of year is the holidays ability to bring out the dysfunction in families! So in this episode of my Surviving the Holidays series I invited good friend and author Laurie Davies to share her wisdom, taken from an article she wrote entitled The 12 Dysfunctional Days of Christmas.

In this conversation we discuss:

The first examples of family dysfunction in the Bible

What to do when your family reminds you how you screwed up, again.

What to do when you are asked why you are still not married

How to respond to family members that are hurtful

How to draw healthy boundaries with family

And how to navigate guilt trips with love

One of the most common struggles among the Fatherless are trust Issues. And after years of trauma it can seem impossible to ever trust again. I know because that is my story. Shortly after marriage I became aware of my struggle and as a result I found freedom. It’s because of the freedom I received that I decided to do this episode. I figure it’s only fair that I share this with you so that you can also learn to trust again.

To talk about this delicate topic I invited guest Leonard Nasca, a licensed LCSW.

In this conversation we discuss:

Where trust issues originate

How trusting Mom is different from trusting Dad

How broken trust affects adolescent relationships with the opposite sex

Validation

Imagine, growing up, planning out your whole life, what college you're gonna attend, what kind of man you're gonna marry, how many kids you're gonna have, where you'll live and the dream job that you are created to do. Years of plan. Then without warning, due to circumstances out of your control, those plans change. And that dream job that you are convinced God created you for is nothing more than a hopeless fairy tale.

That is the topic of this episode with guest Araceli Godoy, Pastor and host of the Not Your Average Church Girl podcast.
