Forgiving and loving our enemies—giving our best to both believers and betrayers—does not equate with being weak, a push-over or someone else’s physical, emotional or spiritual punching bag. Loving your enemy, in a mature way, takes courage and does not mean you acquiesce to their every desire. No, mature love takes tremendous intentionality and courage to not perceive others through the eyes of “selective-sight” or “selective-sight in-reverse.” It takes courage and spiritual smarts to see someone’s strengths and weaknesses and love them accordingly.

Jesus was not afraid to engage in hard conversations. He did not fear saying the truth, even if it troubled others. Jesus is courageous and he desires you to be just as brave as he—intentionally engaging in difficult conversations—speaking truth to lies—all with masterfully appropriate timing. Jesus had a brave soul, not “a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” and, whether you believe it yet, or not, so do you (2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV).  You'll need copious amounts of courage to successfully navigate this life.  In this episode, Joel and Shannon will give you the tools to do just that!

Every child desires a dad. What boy doesn’t want a father who will teach him how to play sports, cheer him on from the stands, teach him how to build things, show him how to hunt or camp, and tell him he is the greatest son ever? What girl doesn’t want a father who will cherish her, be available for her and active in her life. Someone who’s able and willing to protect her and joyfully provide for her, yet who’s patient, present and engaged. 

Our souls were designed to be loved by a loving father. This primal father-need in us all cannot be downplayed, diminished or dismissed. It was placed there by God. The good news is, that God--our True Dad--is strong enough, tender enough, concerned enough, wise enough, wealthy enough, patient enough, and engaged enough to fulfill every father-need in our soul and lovingly father us through anything our earthly dad(s) didn’t.  In this episode Joel and Shannon discuss the Father wound and how to heal it.

Mother wounds are real. Yet, rarely discussed. Mom’s are sacred. We don’t let anyone talk bad our Momma. We don’t allow people to go there, and, so often—even when it’s healthy, appropriate and necessary for our heart’s healing—we don’t allow ourselves to go there either. So many of us unknowingly limp through life, never addressing these unacknowledged wounds, because it so often feels unnatural, unkind and wrong. While it’s never appropriate to blame all of the problems experienced in life on your mother (or father), it is appropriate to kindly go there, learn more about it. We invite you to join us as we discuss the mother wound and how to heal it.
