TLFM - True Love Family Ministry

The speaker, Harold, emphasized the importance of building one's life on the solid foundation of God's Word. He discussed several key principles:

Harold highlighted God's clear commands in Leviticus to love and treat strangers and foreigners with the same care as one's own people. He contrasted this with examples of religious leaders like Ezra, who promoted exclusion and discrimination. Harold emphasizes that God's will has not changed; we are to love all people as ourselves.

The speaker discussed the importance of studying the Bible carefully, distinguishing between God's direct words and the words of prophets and teachers. He emphasized the need to interpret Scripture through the lens of the entire Bible, not just isolated verses, in order to fully understand God's will.

The discussion began with an overview of rising mental health issues among children and youth, with nearly 1 in 5 experiencing disorders. Social isolation during the pandemic likely exacerbated conditions. Early support is important to avoid issues persisting into adulthood.

The group discussed how to support children struggling with mental health. Asking children how they feel and being a safe person they can open up to was emphasized. Parents and communities must advocate for children and overcome the stigma around seeking help.

Speakers addressed stigma around mental health in faith communities and communities of color. Normalizing discussion and seeking counseling were encouraged to help others. The harms of shaming children for struggles and the importance of empathy were raised.

The pandemic took a toll on children's mental wellness through isolation, trauma, and disrupted development. Adults are also facing increased anxiety and panic attacks due to unresolved issues emerging. Long-term impacts on children's social skills will require community support.

"Shopping" for the right counselor fit was advised to find someone a child is comfortable with. Counseling requires effort but helps process trauma. Both children and adults should seek help for issues rather than relying only on faith or self-care. Overall health requires addressing mental health proactively.

The podcast discusses the health benefits of common superfoods readily available in most kitchens or easily found at grocery stores and restaurants. Key superfoods highlighted are lemons, garlic, and onions. All are celebrated for their versatility and nutritional benefits.

Friday AWE - February 09, 2024

God created humanity in His image to share in the loving relationship between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Sin damaged this relationship, but God still sees us as His beloved children.

Sin is anything contrary to God's law and character. The law reveals our sinfulness and need for Christ. Though damaged by sin, we are still loved by God.

Despite our sinfulness, God still sees us as His beloved children. Like the prodigal son's father, God's love for us never wavers.

Though Adam's sin condemned humanity, Christ's sacrifice reverses this, declaring us righteous before God. God's grace triumphs over sin. We need only believe.

Attendees affirmed the power of sharing God's unconditional love. We are called to love one another as Christ loved us.

Friday AWE -Constance - January 26

Marie led an activity to choose a Godly attribute to embody in the new year. Attendees chose attributes like love, grace, holiness, and boldness, and discussed accountability to live them out daily through spiritual disciplines.

Discussion emphasized that displaying Godly attributes requires maintaining a close relationship with God through prayer, Bible study, and obedience. Accountability within the group was suggested to encourage consistency.

Veronica and others emphasized remembering God's power versus fearing the enemy, claiming Their promises, and aligning one's will with Their to access supernatural blessings.

Andrea and others shared about overcoming fear through claiming God's frequent command in Scripture to "fear not." Their grace and mercy are sufficient daily.
