Thoughts run through our head on a daily basis. How do we determine if they are our thoughts or the voice of the Lord wanting to speak to us?

Today's episode is the final of a 3-part series with Julie Holmquist, the Kairos Moments Podcast host. In this episode we share ways the Lord speaks to us and how to determine it is His voice and not our own.

The best way to pray and intercede is to hear the Father's heart regarding your loved one and the situation. But how can we do that if we aren't sure if He speaks and we don't know how to listen to His voice?

In today's episode, Julie Holmquist, podcast host of Kairos Moments, is joining me.

Listen in to discover 3 keys to positioning yourself to hear God's voice:

*Expect the unexpected.

*Practice His presence.

* Be willing to be set apart.

There isn't one single family that's not touched by the LGBTQ agenda. As today's guest, Cameron Diamond, states in the episode: "The future generations are going to need to be stronger than we are, and we have to show them how to get there."

If this is the case, then:

*How do we teach our children to stand strong in the face of peer pressure?

*What steps can we take to open up conversations in our homes?

*How do we walk through healing with our children?

Cameron Diamond, Identify Ministries' Board President and Youth Pastor at Jonesville Baptist Church, is joining Melinda on the podcast today. Be sure to take out pen and paper as Cameron is sharing lots of wisdom and resources.

You did all the right things. Perhaps, you raised your children in church and set a good example. Now your grown children are making choices of their own, and they aren't aligning with how you raised them.

Today's Bridge guest, Dr. Sharon Elliott, completely understands. She joins us today as a mom who has had children making choices that didn't line up with their upbringing.

In this episode, Sharon shares:

*how to walk through disappointment

*the difference between confrontation and care-frontation

*why parents need to continue taking their child to Jesus through prayer

Join Melinda and guest, Jon Sowell on episode 21 of The Bridge Between Us Podcast.

In this episode, Jon will share how we each have legitimate needs, but Satan wants us to meet these needs in illegitimate ways.

Two of my favorite quotes from Jon are:

1. If we are deprived of having healthy intimacy with the same sex, something God has given us, then we are going to go for the counterfeit.
2. You are responsible for sowing the seed, but you're not responsible for making the seed grow. As soon as we try to make the seed grow, then we are trying to play God in the situation.
