Summer Series: Gossip Jun 18, 2024

Show notes

Welcome to our SUMMER SERIES, where we are reposting our favorite episodes!

This week is another one of Adrienne's top three favorites. It's Episode #32, where Sam shares insights about gossip.

We are all familiar with gossip; many of us have been on the giving and receiving end of gossip. We know gossip hurts others, so why do we do it?

It can be tempting to spill the tea, but the truth is gossip negatively impacts every area of our lives. It hurts others, and it damages our character and our witness for Christ.

Sam helps define what gossip is and why we gossip and shares practical tips on how to fight the temptation to gossip so that we can be different from the world around us.

Summer Series: Hurts Jun 11, 2024

Show notes

Welcome to our SUMMER SERIES, where we are reposting our favorite episodes!

In this repost of Episode #68, Kim shares a step-by-step method to process both little and big hurts openly, honestly, and in a healthy way.

This is one of Kim's favorite episodes because she didn't learn this skill until her 40s, and it would have saved her a lot of trouble if she had learned it earlier in life.

No one goes through life without experiencing some hurt. Do you know how to process these hurts in a healthy way?

Processing your hurts is a skill you need in life, whether single or married. The ability to handle the hurts you experience will greatly impact the quality of your single years and your marriage later.
