Your Brain on God

We got together with our good friends, Cliff & Antoinette, married for 15 years, to discuss the beauties and hardships of marriage, and how inviting God everyday into marriage makes way for amazing connection and freedom.  

If you want to have good friends, be a good friend.  You attract who you are.  Friendships are vital to a healthy emotional, physical, and spiritual life.  We had our good friend AJ on to chat all about it.  3 Best friends talking bout friendship stuff !

If we want healthy relationships we have to embrace conflict.  Most of us do not get tools for conflict growing up and see terribly unhealthy methods of dealing with it.  In this episode we talk about having engaging in healthy conflict with our loved ones to combat resentment and uncertainty and help us grow in our spiritual and emotional life. 

We can't truly love someone if we don't seek to truly see them, all the good and all the bad.  God teaches us to see past our own biases, traumas, and insecurities to be able to see his image in everyone we encounter.  In this episode, Darryl and Aaron talk about the importance of seeing who people really are.

It seems like everyone is living in offense these days.  We are frustrated, irritated, and bothered especially by those closest to us.  In this episode we talk about "Not making it about you" and also accepting responsibility in relationship so that you can grow.  Both tools to live a life unoffended! Gonna be a good one.  Listen up!

Communication is crucial to healthy relationships in our lives.  God gives us wisdom on how and when to communicate effectively and graciously.  Most of our problems in relationship come from a lack in communication or a lack of wisdom on how to communicate.  Join us as we get God's wisdom on how to communicate well in the Spirit of Jesus. 

Not all beliefs carry the same weight!  Some are fundamental and should be embraced with everything, while others should be open to being changed by God.  Our beliefs make up who we are, but they should never be held on so tightly that they ruin relationships.  

Brenda Palmer is a Podcaster (called Life in Perspective), a content creator, a producer of multiple network and YouTube shows, and a great friend.  In this episode she gives insight on managing social media, using it to bless others, and not becoming a slave to it.  Prepare to have your heart and mind blessed and make sure you follow her on Instagram and Twitter (Iambrendapalmer) and follow her podcast on Spotify and iTunes.

Jesus calls us to lose our lives in order to save them.  This upside down directive plays into more than just biblical salvation.  The more we let go of our own perceptions, ideologies, and expectations the more we receive what are hearts are really looking for.  God calls us into a journey of growing trust in Him, laying down our minds, wills and emotions to experience His mind, will and emotions.  

Look at the Lion in your Life right in the eyes and don't budge.  There is power in presence in the midst of your struggle.  Enjoy this conversation with Aaron and Darryl about embracing every trial with strength through presence.
