To round out our Family of Origin Series, Susan, Keri, Angie, and Kristen will delve into the story of Joseph and how it is a beautiful example of working WITH God to move past the negatives we might have grown up with.

Susan is back in the studio with Keri, Kristen, and Angie to continue digging into "Family of Origin." This week - family secrets and sweeping the negative under the rug.

The studio is full this week as Keri Sallee, Angie Elrod, and Kristen Schatzman join Susan to discuss why learning more about our personal "Family of Origin" stories is the first step to finding healing and wholeness in our present lives.

Last week, Susan and guest host, Kristen Schatzman, discussed the idea of "Doing for God vs. Being with God" and what that means in our relationship with God.

This week, thanks to a listener's question, they are digging into the practical steps we can all take to make the shift from DOERS to BEINGS.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. Love does not envy, is not boastful, is not arrogant, 5 is not rude, is not self-seeking, is not irritable, and does not keep a record of wrongs. 6 Love finds no joy in unrighteousness but rejoices in the truth. 7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. - 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

How can love be all of these things?

First...it has to be Rooted in the love of Jesus.

Dr. Steve Goss is back in the studio with Susan to discuss what this means and the actions we need to take to grow our roots deep.

It's February, and with it comes all of the thoughts of hearts, love, and relationships.

But what does it truly mean to love, and what does the Bible say about being in community? And what if you don't have a "romantic love" for Valentine's Day?

Susan and her forever Valentine, Dr. Steve Goss, are in the studio answering those questions, with the help of scripture, life experiences, and a couple of books that are on their "must-read" list.

Books Susan and Steve referenced in this episode:

"The Familiar Stranger" by Tyler Staton

"Sacred Attachment" by Michael John Cusick

It's hard to believe we are almost at the end of January already!

For one last show, Susan and Angie are back in the studio to finish out the "Jesus in the Workplace" series by sharing personal stories of how others have been God's light to them during hard seasons of life.

"Who needs to know besides God and me?" Susan's Grandmother

For Part 3 of our "Jesus in the Workplace" series, Susan and Angie delve into how to react to rejection and transgressions in the workplace and in life...with a little handed-down wisdom from Susan's Grandmother.

"30 And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.' [a] 31 The second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' [b] No other commandment is greater than these." - Mark 12:30-31

Susan and guest host Angie Elrod continue their discussion of "Jesus in the Workplace."

This week... how can we be the light of God to difficult people, or even just in everyday life?
