  • #320: The One About What's His Name

    #320: The One About What's His Name
    Nov 27 2023
    A while ago I heard a sermon titled “Are you humble enough to be carefree?” Honestly, my answer was a resounding “no”. I’m not carefree, I’m careful because I’m prideful. Instead of taking my feelings to God and allowing Him to help me process them, I find myself choosing to numb out. 

    Isaiah 26:3 (MSG) says, “People with their minds set on you, you keep completely whole, Steady on their feet because they keep at it and don't quit.” We can trust God; He is a sure thing. When we take what we’re feeling to Him, He is faithful to make us whole.

    When allow ourselves to experience negative emotions without numbing them, we won’t get stuck in them. Over time, feeling becomes easier and we can become fully ourselves allowing us to be present with the people around us.

    #319: The One About the Dragon
    Nov 13 2023
    Are you a Harry Potter fan? I'll admit, most days I relate most with the house elf Dobby cleaning up after everyone, but this episode is going to focus on the dragon-loving groundskeeper, Hagrid. You see, Hagrid was so obsessed with dragons that it was apparent to everyone but him that keeping one in his wooden house was a bad idea.

    So often we keep destructive things in our lives because we love them. But the truth is that if we don't get those things out, they will destroy our lives. It's time to kick the dragons out of the house.

    #261: The Alcohol Experiment with Annie Grace
    #284: A Sober-Minded Sisterhood with Jenn Kautsch

    Action Steps:

    • Take time to determine what dragons you're keeping in your wooden house. Where are you blinded by things you know are not the right choice? 
    • Admit to God that you've made wrong choices and ask Him to help evict your dragons. Share your decision with a trusted friend.

  • #318: The One About Peeling Potatoes

    #318: The One About Peeling Potatoes
    Oct 30 2023
    In this episode, we going to focus on two different versions of the same thought - "I'm stronger than I think" and "I can do hard things".

    How do I know you can do hard things? 2 Corinthians 9:8 tells us, "God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work."

    That's a lot of "all"s. So the next time you're having a long day then remember you still have to cook dinner and you're sure it's going to be terrible, remember that we get to choose our thoughts. You are stronger than you think you are. And who knows, perhaps some kids who are bad a potato peeling will join you in turning your brined chicken dinner into something divine.

    • Go to Instagram and get the"I can do hard things" lock screen.
    • Sign up for my mailing list at StruggleWellSchool.com and get the free download to help you determine what you’re thinking. Then follow the prompts to determine your thoughts, feelings, and actions on both the struggle and wellness cycle.
    • Journal about hard things you've already done as a reminder that you're stronger than you think you are.
