Handling Hurt

Last updated on: March 14, 2018 at 9:47 am By Ann White

“Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.” Colossians 3:13 (NLT) I’ve often heard it said, “Hurt people – hurt people,” and I have to say, most often, this is the case. One of the hardest things to do is to extend grace, compassion, and loving kindness toward people who have hurt us. Actually, we often hope even God will also withhold His grace, compassion, and...

Feelings vs. Faith

Last updated on: March 9, 2018 at 9:38 am By MaryJo Petersen Castro

“In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” Romans 8:37 Have you ever felt defeated in life or in your circumstances? Have you ever felt your future is defeated as well? The definition of the word “defeat” is the act of being overcome, a setback, overthrown, brought to nothing; frustration, and the act or event of losing. The good news is, what you’re feeling is only a feeling, not the truth, not when you’re walking... Read more

The Gift of Forgiveness

Last updated on: March 1, 2018 at 4:50 pm By Kathy Sherwin

“For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.” Matthew 6:14 Do you realize that forgiving someone is actually a gift to yourself and holding onto unforgiveness actually leads to bitterness and pain that keep you stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts and emotions? Forgiving someone who has hurt us is not a feeling or an emotion, it’s a choice. When I choose to forgive my ex-husband for ending our... Read more

What’s Holding You Back?

Last updated on: February 27, 2018 at 7:38 pm By Ann White

“No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.” Philippians 3:13-14 (NLT) For years I allowed hurt and fear to keep me from pursuing the life God was urging me to embrace. I let emotional baggage paralyze me and... Read more

8 Ways to Handle Conflict at Work

Last updated on: February 23, 2018 at 9:47 am By MaryJo Petersen Castro

Have you ever wanted to respond to a conflict at work through uncivilized means on the person who makes your work life miserable? I have to admit, I have. Many times. Personality problems and conflict are a given when you’re dealing with people. How we respond to relational conflict determines our ability to be a team player at work. Our response to conflict contributes to either a toxic work environment or a healthy work environment. Many of us need to... Read more

A Leader Worth Following

Last updated on: February 20, 2018 at 10:40 am By Ann White

Leadership involves influence and we all influence others in one way or another. Either for better or for worse. Whether with family, friends, co-workers, or acquaintances, it’s vital we carefully consider our sphere of influence and the type of influence we have on them. So, “Are you a leader worth following?” John Maxwell says, “The most important ingredient of leadership is integrity.”Integrity is the quality of being honest, of having strong moral principles, and it’s an essential ingredient if we’re...

Remembering Who You Are

Last updated on: February 16, 2018 at 9:54 am By Kathy Sherwin

“He is the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them– he remains faithful forever.”Psalm 146:6 When my sons were young, we watched Disney’s The Lion King together. Their tender hearts and mine were impacted by the death of Mufasa. The impact of the death of a parent on a child’s life was dramatically portrayed in the children’s movie. When I saw the movie for the first time, I shed a tear for the loss of Mufasa. But... Read more
