Does Time Heal All Wounds?
Hello, friends! March is a time for renewal and rebirth. At the end of the month, Christians across the world will be celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is a wonderful season to think about the life, mission, and journey of our Savior. Though it was foretold even before His birth, Isaiah 53:5 comes to mind; “But He was…
Can I Thrive with a Spouse That Is Incapable of Meeting My Needs?
Welcome to June, my friends! This month, I have chosen to explore the virtue of resilience. Resilience is intricately woven into the fabric of nature, as evidenced by the mighty oak tree withstanding fierce winds and the delicate flower blooming against all odds. Just as nature embraces resilience, we too can find the strength within ourselves to navigate relationship challenges.…
How Do I Help My Client Let Go?
Morning friend, I’ve been reading through the four gospels this year, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. I’ve been curiously watching Jesus freely express his emotions. He cried, laughed, got angry, felt uncertain of what to do next, felt stressed, tired, irritated, and kind of crabby (when he cursed the fig tree when it didn’t have figs yet). Yet, he didn’t…
Ending the Cycle of Abuse
Good morning my friends! Coach LeAnne here! Fall has arrived in Phoenix! My feeders are still actively nourishing the local hummingbirds, and my hanging flowers are in full bloom as they sway on the back patio. I grew up in Minnesota, moved to California at 19 years of age, and have been out west ever since- I do not miss…
Living In The Truth When It’s Hard And Ugly
Morning friend, I’m angry as I answer this reader’s question. I’m angry at her church and pastors for not being wise enough to know what they were dealing with and continuing to make the mistake of prioritizing the institution of marriage and a man’s sexual needs over a wife’s safety, sanity and the well-being of the children in this destructive…
Is There More Than One Right Answer?
Morning friend, This is the last week of my July sabbatical but I hope you’ve been enjoying our guest posts. Don’t forget that my new podcast is available: Relationship Truth Unfiltered and each week we release a new episode. This week’s question is answered by Coach LeAnne. LeAnne is an amazing coach and woman of God. She is someone who…
My Husband Says To Stop Talking About It
Morning friend, July is typically my month to take some time off to rest, refresh and renew…. so I’ve asked two of my team coaches, Susan King and LeAnne Parsons to fill in for me in answering your questions for two of our blog weeks. The other two weeks I will post video blogs from questions I have answered live…
Help I Have Nowhere To Go, No One Helps.
Morning friend, Last week we talked about letting go of unrealistic hope. Letting go of that hope isn’t meant to leave you feeling bereft of options, but it’s to open your eyes to the options that are available to you. To help you stop knocking your head against doors you have no power to open. I believe this whole topic…
