  • True Forgiveness: Let's Talk About It!
    I don't know about you, but in this day and age, it seems  as though the true meaning and understanding of forgiveness has been forgotten. Often times we find ourselves going through life feeling bitter or angry due to something that someone may have said or done to us. But here's the catch, today, Ruth Ann and I will share with you our understanding of true forgiveness. God forgives us of our sins, so it is our duty to ensure that we also forgive others when they do wrong to us. So sit back and relax as we give you the tea on true forgiveness. 
    Discussion points: 
    1. What is the meaning of true forgiveness?
    2. Why do we need to forgive others?
    3. How has this generation forgotten the true meaning of forgiveness?

  • Let's Talk About It: Waiting On The Lord
    Tune into this episode of Talking Paradoxically where we talk about waiting on the Lord. I dont know about you, but sometimes it is so hard to let and let God. In day to day life, we plan our goals, and create our schedules and we hope that all of our dreams will be fulfilled. But what if I told you that sometimes the path that we have for our lives is not really the path that God has for us. It is definitely a hard pill to swallow. Jeremiah 29:11 says that the Lord has plans for us, plans that will prosper and not harm us. So let us let go and let God together. Grab a snack or just kick back and relax as Shania and I give you the tea about waiting on the Lord.
