Good Grief: Seeking Comfort When You Feel Sad May 21, 2016

Show notes

We all experience disappointments and losses but how do we react? We may deny our sadness, get busy, or judge ourselves, but that diminishes our joy and our capacity to offer compassion to others. Asking for emotional comfort is different than complaining or wallowing in self-pity — it’s the path of regaining energy for life and ministry.

Kristi's Cat Charlie Teaches Us to Trust God May 14, 2016

Show notes

First thing in the morning Charlie meows for Kristi to cuddle him! He follows her around all day and purrs in her lap. But he’s scared of cleanings and needs a “severe mercy”! Bill and Kristi draw out lessons from their cat and the Bible on trusting God.

Sharing Emotions Without Dumping May 07, 2016

Show notes

Do your emotions help or hinder your life and your relationships? Being vulnerable is different than dumping on people. Caring for people is different than rescuing them. Galatians 6:1-5 teaches these things.

Mother's Day: Gratitudes and Griefs Apr 30, 2016

Show notes

Kristi talks with Bill about being a mother of three children, a daughter, and a therapist for people struggling in the mother relationship. She says, “Being a mother is the hardest and most rewarding thing I’ve done.” On these matters we all have gratitudes and griefs to express to God, our perfectly loving mother (Isaiah 66:10-13).

Loving the Child In You and Others Apr 23, 2016

Show notes

The Apostle John writes to us as “My little children.” In this spirit Bill and Kristi help you connect with the vulnerable child in you and in others. They share examples from their lives and their ministry to help you more fully trust in Jesus and grow up in the Father’s love. Kristi uses Psalm 131 to show you how to pray for yourself and others: “Jesus is Enough.”

Wrapped Around the Lord Apr 16, 2016

Show notes

Most of us don't like to wait. But in a time of praying Psalm 27 Kristi discovers that waiting is "wrapping herself around her loving Lord!" This is not a burden -- it's a delight! In this 20-minute soul talk she and Bill help you experience greater intimacy with God in your prayers for yourself and others. "I will see the goodness of the Lord... Be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." (Psalm 27:13-14)

The Loneliness of Leadership, Part 2 Apr 02, 2016

Show notes

A. W. Tozer said there’s a solitary road that you walk as a Christian leader or giver of mercy. We yearn for a deeper intimacy with Jesus and to share this with others -- so much so that we'll do whatever it takes. Our secular culture opposes us and even many in the Church don’t understand us. But if we band together as soul friends it helps us to abide in Christ and bear great fruit!

The Loneliness of Leadership Mar 26, 2016

Show notes

Most Christian leaders say they don’t have a close friend. There’s a certain aloneness and feeling of being unappreciated that goes with being a pastor, pastors’ spouse, counselor, boss, or parent. You carry others’ burdens but who carries yours? Bill and Kristi feel the struggle — do you? Join our conversation to discover with us that the risen Christ meets us in lonely places and he enables us to love one another (Luke 5:16; John 15:12).
