Dealing with Regret
October 30, 2017 14:39 - 59 minutes - 54.3 MBRegret always begins as an opportunity; hence the disappointment. There was something we wanted to be an enduring part of our life that disappeared, was forfeited, or was lost. Regret is never just a moment, but a painful and pivotal change in our life story. When we neglect mourning the hope that birthed our regret or focus exclusively on the moment in which regret began there are two negative consequences: (a) whatever guidance we receive feels light-weight and cliché, and (b) we miss mos...

Towards a Christian Perspective on Mental Illness
October 30, 2017 14:36 - 1 hour - 61.5 MBThis is a difficult subject to address, because of its complexity and highly personal nature. Everyone is affected by mental illness; either personally or someone they love. People you care about have experienced depression, ADD, addiction, bipolar, or other mental health struggle. For you the phrase “mental illness” may be a safe haven of explanation, a label that carries stigma, or a mystery that is hard to understand. This is why mental illness is a subject that must be discussed in the ...
Burnout
October 30, 2017 14:32 - 1 hour - 61.8 MBBurnout is never caused by a single area of life. Burn out is a function of our total life management. One area of life cannot get out of order without overt choices of neglect being made other areas of life. This means that if we managed the others areas of our life well, it would have contained the area (i.e., work, ministry, parenting, etc…) that was the primary cause of burnout. We must resist the temptation to blame life, or even one area of our life management, for the experience of bu...
10 Keys to Ensure Caring Is Helping
October 30, 2017 14:30 - 34 minutes - 31.3 MBWhen we care for one another wisely three things should happen: (a) the person being cared for should be blessed, (b) the love of Christ should become more tangible, and (c) our faith should grow. Sometimes our attempts of caring can be done unwisely, resulting in unintended consequences: (a) the person being cared for is enabled, (b) the love of Christ is misrepresented, and (c) the care-giver becomes exhausted. A PDF of the one-page notes for this presentation is available here: 10 Keys ...

Finding Your Confidence, Identity, & Security in Christ - Part 6
August 01, 2017 17:17 - 28 minutes - 26.1 MBBiblical Wisdom refers to the principled pursuit of pleasure, not to fill a void, but to fulfill a calling. Wisdom requires fearing (seeking the approval of) God more than fearing (seeking the approval of) man. The restraint of wisdom does not diminish the intensity of pleasure, but prolongs the time frame in which pleasure can be savored and the freedom of conscience with which pleasure can be remembered. Wisdom cannot be reduced to a set of principles or propositions because it is an exp...
Finding Your Confidence, Identity, & Security in Christ - Part 5
August 01, 2017 17:15 - 19 minutes - 18.2 MBBiblical security is a disposition of stability that allows for a patient and an increasingly accurate interpretation of personal performance, interpersonal interactions, and circumstances in the midst of situations that are as yet uncertain, incomplete, challenging, or negative. Biblical security acknowledges that failure, criticism, and personal sin will occur; however, it does not allow the legitimate guilt, disappointment, or embarrassment of these events to create instability or dash hop...
Finding Your Confidence, Identity, & Security in Christ - Part 4
August 01, 2017 17:14 - 29 minutes - 26.9 MBBiblical confidence is the demeanor that exhibits a positive expectation that God will enable us to accomplish any good work He has calls for us to do. This demeanor results in an increasingly shorter period of hesitation and level of anxiety when attempting a task; and a greater degree of peace and fulfillment while planning, carrying out, and evaluating a task. After the task is complete, biblical confidence reduces the degree of pressure to repeat or exceed the accomplishment and the temp...
Finding Your Confidence, Identity, & Security in Christ - Part 3
August 01, 2017 17:13 - 30 minutes - 27.9 MBBiblical Purpose is an over-arching objective in life that brings cohesion and direction to the apparent disconnectedness of life. Purpose is what allows an individual to measure progress and have a sense of accomplishment. Purpose defines why you do things (i.e., big picture), more than what you do (i.e., little tasks). We must realize the same action can stem from multiple purposes. For example, how many different purposes are there for why a young boy would help an old lady across the st...
Finding Your Confidence, Identity, & Security in Christ - Part 2
August 01, 2017 17:11 - 31 minutes - 28.4 MBBiblical Identity refers to the defining ideas, labels, and relational roles which make our actions or emotions seem right and natural. Identity, when healthy, remains constant even when circumstances and peer groups change. Identity should remain stable when no one is looking, everyone is looking, when you are with the love of your life, or an ardent enemy. Identity is one of the defining marks of human motivation. We act out of who we think we are. Identity is one of the primary ways that...
Finding Your Confidence, Identity, & Security In Christ - Part 1
August 01, 2017 17:08 - 34 minutes - 32 MBIs self-esteem a goal (something to be obtained) or a method (means of obtaining something)? In order to answer this question well, we will have to define our terms. Often there is confusion in these kinds of conversations because people use the same word to mean many different things. We can get anything from bottled water to an ice cream sandwich from a “Coke” machine; not to mention that many people refer to Coca-Cola’s rival Pepsi as a “Coke.” We should begin to realize that when a wor...
