Comfort: A Talk With Lanette Ramey About Our Process To Learn To Receive Comfort
11/07/23 • 39 min
Ever felt like you're navigating the crazy terrain of life and comfort is elusive? Well, we're right there with you! Maybe you don’t even know or can’t quite identify what comfort exactly might look like for you. It's certainly new for me. I have found a lot of comfort through addictive patterns and coping mechanisms. Although they can “work” for a time, eventually we need to let them go in order to have the peace and joy and love we are promised.
Join my dear friend Lanette and me as we process the critical role comfort plays to walk in the “more” promised us by God. We share stories of healing, personal discoveries, and challenges we've overcome as we have purposed to press into deeper levels of intimacy with one another and our families.
We process some real and recent practice with ourselves and our kids. We take a moment to slow down, invite comfort through our faith, and extend that comfort to others in the face of adversity. I think no matter where you’re at and what you're wrestling with, this episode offers hope and insights that can help in the journey.

Darkness: A Talk With Bill Bedell About How To Choose Light in This Dark World
Join marriage and family therapist Bill Bedell and me as we talk about darkness. This is a conversation that might change your perspective on healing, growth, and transformation. We share a little of our own experiences, including the impact of darkness on both of our lives through other significant relationships and our own stories.
We have vital need to show up tenaciously to receive the healing of God as HE has for us, not the healing we think we want or need. We talk about how the walk of sanctification is really about leaning into surrender and rest, rather than a pressing toward a solution. Sometimes in the despair or quest to squash fear or manage our lives, we actually achieve the opposite effect of what we desire. We may gain control, but lose freedom and joy. God says we can have self-control, love, peace, joy and all of the best for ourselves and to give away. God says his light overcomes the darkness. Our part is to show up again and again to receive what he has said is ours, and to trust that he alone knows how that is given.

Wellness: The World's Solutions Only Take Us So Far
The "road" to wellness has never been more discussed. With so much knowledge and information, how is it that we are more sick than ever? Janet Massey joins us today, and we chat about our own personal journeys through much wilderness and suffering in regard to wellness. Janet's authentic, inspirational journey of transformation and wellness through faith in Jesus Christ is remarkable. Janet has a doctorate in physical therapy and a lot of "knowledge" - yet she has come to the simple and profound truth of the power that is hers in Christ. She is a living example of his deliverance and her perspective is inspiring and faith building.
We hope you will take encouragement from our discussion about our growth in understanding our relationship with God - the Father, Son and Spirit. We have both experienced and believe in the lasting and transformative wellness that comes through Christ. We know first hand over many years that his hope does not disappoint, and that no matter where you might be on the journey, you're not alone, you are loved, and that his promises are true for you.
