We wholeheartedly welcome back Sally Lemos, MS, LPC, to our show today to talk about trauma as it relates to families through generations. In this episode, we want to lay a foundation and start at the beginning by defining what trauma and abuse are and how they can show up in different ways in us, in our families, and how it’s passed down to future generations. Sally shares with us through the wisdom of her professional lens and her lived experience to teach us some tools to name the trauma, be with the wounded parts, and sit with our healer. Please be advised the topic of today's show may not be suitable for younger audiences; please use your discretion when watching or listening. Enjoy!

On the show today, Brook and Elizabeth and Phil and Diane talk about complaining. They unpack how complaining often masks deeper issues like grief, unmet expectations, or a lack of acceptance.

True lament invites God into our pain, helping us process grief without getting stuck, while

godliness with contentment reorients our perspective. By repenting of entitlement, embracing

suffering as part of our calling, and teaching others, including our children, to lament with God,

we grow in faith and resilience. Enjoy!

Join us today as Brook, Phil, and Diane discuss their best daily habits. Spoiler alert: it’s reading their Bibles each day. Some stories and reflections are shared today about how God has transformed each of them over the years by reading the scriptures daily. Reading the Bible is not meant to be legalistic; God’s heart is an invitation, wanting to bless, meet, and help you. To keep it simple, they break it down into five different ways to read the scriptures. Enjoy!

5 different ways to read the scriptures:

*First, find a place you like to be in where you won't be interrupted. You may have to wake up earlier for this, so don’t forget your journal.

1) Read Prayerfully 

2) Read Carefully

3) Read Humbly

4) Read Expectantly 

5) Read Joyfully
