    Today we continue our series on the BIG 6 - ACCESS. Do we cut off our hearts from our spouse when they've wronged us? What about our kids? There are many reasons we do this, and there is so much goodness to learning to be aware of when we do this.

    Ep. 24 Excess Weight
    Oct 24 2022
    What are you carrying around that isn't meant for you? I recently emptied my purse and you will be ASTOUNDED to hear all that was in there. It proved for a very important lesson though in being faced with other things that I carry around that I was never designed to. Perfectionism. The weight of disappointing or embarrassing my family. Self sufficiency. Do you struggle with these too? Join in!

    Ep. 23 Crazy Squirrels
    Oct 17 2022
    We recently had precious people living with us for an extended period of time, and the mind garbage that happened for me was real. Feeling exposed and vulnerable can do weird things to our pride, heart and mind and I needed to be reminded of a really powerful notion - we have the ability to remove ourselves from the crazy and come back into peace. Join me today as we talk about community, our value and negative mindset swirls!

    Ep. 22 The Issue of Pride
    Oct 10 2022
    Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! Today we look at the issue of Biblical pride, humility, false humility and parenting in it all. Is there ever a place for pride? How do we have confidence in ourselves without making others feel badly about themselves? Is that even possible? What do writers like the Apostle Paul or CS Lewis have to say on this topic? Are you a humble person?

    Oct 3 2022
    This culture has engulfed our kids into its over sensualized ways. And we have unwittingly gone along with it. How do we fight back? Like anything, these conversations don't start when our kids are teenagers. What can we do when the children are little to help combat the ways of the world?
