Learning how to heal from our relationship with God requires us to go back to the basics. The basics of Christian life are easily identifiable: emotional regulation, prayer, filling our mind with Scripture, seeking strong Christian community, and serving others.
On today's episode, I discuss how the practicing the basics of Christian life can helps us heal in our relationship with God. I also discuss the following topics:
Experience all the emotions you are having

• They’re just emotions
• Here are some examples of strong emotions felt by the Psalmists:
  • Psalm 22:1-2; 42:3, 5, 11; 55; 77:1-3; 88:13-16

Pray with Honesty, Humility, Awe and Patience

• “Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy” by Mark Vroegop
• His key point was that we just need to keep praying
• Cry out to God
  • The key here is to allow yourself to feel the depths of the pain you are experiencing.
• Pray your struggles
  • Everyone struggles and we all have friends we can share these struggles with (Gal. 6:2) but the purpose of sharing our struggles with Him is because He understands.
• Pray your questions
  • God will carry out his will in our lives and we sometimes do not understand
  • God WILL listen and He WILL empathize with our questions
  • God DOES care about those questions.
• Pray the Gospel
  • John 3:16-19
  • Romans 5:8-11
  • 2 Cor. 5:21

Fill Your Mind with Scripture

• Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible, in the largest book in the Bible (chapters-wise) and the focus of it is on the importance of the Word of God in our lives.
• Just continue to fill your mind with Scripture.

Connect with a strong biblical community

• Who we surround ourselves with will affect how we view our faith in Jesus and how we live out the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
• It is an encouragement to be with each other, encourage each other, struggle together and be open with one another.
• I remember learning that the Latin word for compassion is compassion which means “to suffer with”.
• Supporting verses
  • Psalm 33:1-3
  • Proverbs 27:17
  • Romans 12:4-5
  • Hebrews 10:24-25

Serve One Another

• Use your gifts
• Serving each other provides opportunities for humility
• Serving each other allows for your gifts to be used to bless others

We all need forgiveness. Forgiveness is a key factor in receiving the gift of salvation. Jesus forgives our sins when we repent from them and turn towards Him. Jesus forgave the most heinous of sins, including the past, present and future ones. The Bible says that "if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins" (1 John 1:9). But even though this is a hallmark of the Gospel, it is probably one of the most difficult for Christians to accept and practice.
On today's episode, Dr. Jichan Kim and I discuss the difficulties in accepting God's forgiveness as well as extending it to those who have hurt us deeply.
We also discuss the following topics:

• Do we need to forgive ourselves before we can accept God’s forgiveness, or are self-forgiveness and accepting God’s forgiveness separate concepts?
• What are the greatest barriers to self-forgiveness or accepting God’s forgiveness?
• How do we know we are forgiven by God?
• What is the measuring stick for know if we have forgiven others?
• Are there different stages of forgiveness?
• How do we distinguish between forgiveness and reconciliation, because these two principles are often conflated?
• What does “loving the person” who hurt us look like after we forgive them?
• What are the greatest barriers to forgiving others?
• Lastly, what does the Bible say about forgiveness?

The Bible warns us about "wolves in sheep's clothing" and one of the most evident ways in which we see them at work is when they prey on women in the church. They find ways to integrate themselves into the functions of the church by being charismatic, ideas-filled, enthusiastic, and articulate speakers. For some, they may not see this as a problem, but for those of us who have encountered the profiles of such characters before, we see it almost immediately.
Even Jesus, Luke, Paul, and Peter warn us about them.
"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves." - Matthew 7:15
"I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock;.. - Acts 20:29
"For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds." - 2 Corinthians 11:13-15
"But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep." - 2 Peter 2:1-3
We have to protect our brothers and sisters in the church from these "wolves in sheep's clothing, and hopefully, by you tuning in today, you can discover how and also how to minister to the women who are scarred by the detrimental effects of clergy sexual abuse.
Tune in today as Sandy and I discuss the following:
- Sandy's testimony on how she was groomed, sexually abused, and manipulated,
- How the church responded to the sexual abuse,
- What the church told her to do in response to the sexual abuse,
- How this experience changes one's view of church and God, and
- How to respond to women who have been sexually abuse in the church.

Our parents play a key role in our understanding of who God is and how we can relate to Him. Fathers, in particular, play a key role because we refer to God as our Father so the model and example that they set for us really gives us a foundation for we think God feels and thinks about us.
On today's episode, Dr. Josh Waltman and I discuss how becoming fathers has given us a greater understanding of God's love and grace for us. Since both of us grew up in strong, conservative Baptist backgrounds, we share how that gave us a strong desire to stand up for the truth of God's Word, but that it also may have blinded us from being able to see God's grace and love towards us and all humanity.
We mainly discussing the following topics:
- What have we learned about God since becoming fathers?
- What was it like to group in a Southern Baptist churches?
- We share experiences of how God has shown his grace and love in our own lives
- How we can show grace and love to our children while also helping them orient that grace and love with truth
- Lastly, we share the importance of understanding the Gospel to have a complete understanding of God's truth, love and grace.

PORN....again!?!
Yep, we're talking about it again this week, because this is an issue that has affected many marriages and families. Our hope with this episode is to bring clarity and wisdom in knowing how to biblically deal with this issue.
The feelings are the same (betrayal, not being "good enough", anger, resentment, disillusionment, unworthiness, loneliness, desperation, and of course, shame), but seem to be experienced at a much greater degree.
For those who are married or engaged, this will be an episode for you to tune in to.
In today's episode, Dr. Thomas and I discuss:
- how wives feel when their spouses use porn,
- how to address it in marriage,
- how to discuss the topic with your children,
- shame in discussing sex with each other and where the shame stems from, and
- how to develop a biblical view of sex for marriage.
If you are currently dating or strongly considering to enter a relationship, this episode is for you.
**You can still request Dr. Thomas's list of questions to ask a spouse or give to a married couple struggling with this so they can find healing. Email me at [email protected], and I'll send it your way.
