Is it Good to Vent Emotions?
11/11/2017 Duración: 24minDumping on people it’s not helpful! Effective listening enables people to feel cared for and to take personal personal responsibility — it doesn’t “fragilize” them. We discuss an example in parenting. Bill’s Bible study and reflective meditation from Habakkuk helps us be strengthened in faith through venting emotion wisely.

Don’t Just “Grin and Bear it”
04/11/2017 Duración: 20minA pastor shares, “I thought it was wrong to vent emotions.

Perfect Love Removes Fear
28/10/2017 Duración: 18minWhen the Lord in his Word says, “Fear not” he’s not judging us for having worries or fears! He’s actually inviting us to feel, talk, and pray. He’s opening his arms to us in love. We share a meditation on Luke 12:32 to experience the love of Christ and the Father.

I Desperately Want Communion With God!

P., tune in for empathy, affirmation, and spiritual formation coaching.

Enjoying Ministry to Others
07/10/2017 Duración: 19minJesus says, “Give and it will be given back to you.” (Luke 6:38) But often when we serve, care, or lead in ministry we’re weighed down with burdens, overstressed, or discouraged.

Alcohol & the Holy Spirit
30/09/2017 Duración: 20minKristi asks Bill, “How are you feeling?” He shares he feel’s sad for Jesus.

The Unbusy Leader
22/07/2017 Duración: 21min“How are you?” Whatever our work, or even if we’re retired, often we answer, “Busy!” But CS Lewis taught, “Only lazy people are busy!” How can this be? The most effective and fruitful leadership is born out of rest, prayer, and discernment — it’s not just working hard, it’s working SMART!
