In this episode of Asking For A Friend with TalkDoc, co-hosts Dr. Pamela Kreiser, Meredith Edwards Nagel, and Teighlor Polendo discuss the “Avoid Criticize Loop,” a destructive conflict pattern in relationships. They explain how indirect communication, passive-aggressive comments, and involving third parties escalate conflicts instead of resolving them. Through relatable examples, the hosts emphasize the importance of direct and vulnerable communication, recognizing and addressing one's role in the cycle, and setting boundaries to promote healthier interactions. Tune in for practical insights on improving your communication and relationship strategies. Music by epidemic sound.

This Isn't Therapy...it's the ENCORE to our episode about emotions and emotionality. Am I overacting? Under-reacting? In this conversation, Jake and Simon chat about the normal, human, everyday emotions that show up in our lives. How do we know if our reactions are within a healthy range? They use the Window of Tolerance model to discuss big and small emotions, how to widen our windows, and what to do when emotions don't seem to match the situation in front of us.Don't forget, Mary: Submit a quandary, query, or question with our newest segment Asking For A Friend...Contact: thisisnttherapypodcast@gmail.comCreators & Guests Simon Paluck - Host Jake Ernst - Host Hello, hi!

In this message, Pastor Jamie Nunnally answers your submitted questions. 1. Is it OK for Christians to be cremated instead of buried?According to the Bible during the resurrection, we get new bodies, not renovations of our existing bodies.2 Corinthians 5:1-3 NLT  2. I have a friend and have heard of several other high profile believers who have deconstructed their faith and walked away from the gospel altogether. How should we guard our hearts from this?Three phases of Christian belief:1. Construction – what you were taught.2. Deconstruction – investigating whether what you believe is true.3. Reconstruction – developing a balanced, Biblical belief-system.Acts 17:11-12  3. Who rolled away the stone at Jesus' tomb? Do you think Jesus did it himself? Or was it the Holy Spirit? God the Father?Matthew gives us this detail.Matthew 28:2 4. I've never read all the way through the Bible. Am I a bad Christian?Bad? No. Lazy? Maybe.Romans 15:4 Ultimately, the goal of the written word is to get to know the author, so be spirit-led in your reading. 5. What do you think about seasons of life where God seems distant?This is good news – you're growing up. a. Perspective - It's just a season.b. Practice – Spiritual disciplines are the things you do—not out of obligation—but to ensure a safe trip when visibility is low.c. Presence. Pursue the presence of God.2 Corinthians 3:18 ESV It's OK if you don't feel God all of the time. We are called believers, not feelers. 6. Should wives be upset with their husbands if they go hang out with their friends for hours without telling her?Probably. Married people should act like they're married. Ephesians 5:33 NLT 7. How do we handle unanswered prayers for healing?Acts 10:38Healing is always God's will, but not always God's wisdom.We hold these two truths together: Jesus healed everyone He possibly could, AND 100% of the people Jesus healed still died. Every believer gets permanently healed in heaven.Keep praying!  8. Why do so many Christians look down their nose at the less than fortunate ones?We don't understand righteousness. There are three types of righteousness we see in scripture, and only one works.a. Righteousness of the world – Be good.b. Righteousness of the Pharisees – Be better.c. Righteousness of God – Be in Christ. Romans 3:22 Receiving the acceptance of God doesn't mean we stop trying, it just means that we stop trying out. We already made the team -no need to compare ourselves anymore. 9. Where did John get his papyrus to write the book of Revelation? 10. My spouse and I have some different minor theological positions. How should we teach our kids?Proverbs 22:6 The essentials should be instilled from a young age, but peripheral stuff is a good opportunity to invite them into your varying opinions. Are you trusting God with your questions?

This Isn't Therapy... it's an episode about seeking validation (online). Are we becoming obsessed with our quest for constant reassurance, approval, and external validation?

But is it vain to want a compliment? How can I become a more secure and confident person? Is it bad to want to look to others for approval? Or is that... survival?

In this edition of UBC "Sermon Discussions" Jason and Jesse discuss the question: How Did We Get So Many Christian Denominations?The question comes from UBC's “Asking for a Friend” sermon series. Questions discussed in this episode: Is it a good or bad thing that it feels like there is “a different denominational church on every corner?”Define essential Christianity?How does one recognize “False teaching” versus “difference in doctrinal theology” in denominations (for example: baptizing infants)What denominations, although they identify as “Christian,” are concerning to you and why?Where does Catholicism fit with the definitions from today? Catholicism does seem to hold the Nicene Creed true, but there are other areas that do not seem to hold with other Biblical truths.Sermon application point #3 instructed us to “Resolve to love Jesus' church in all its denominational forms.” What should that look like for us when considering that so many denominations have accepted and promoted liberal theology and practices that are unbiblical? (Same-sex marriage, pro-choice, errancy of scripture, etc…)What are our secondary convictions at UBC?UBC is a Baptist church. What does it mean to be a Baptist? Is there anything that makes Baptists distinct from other denominations?Briefly explain why UBC is part of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC)?As a reminder we have created a place where you can send us your questions regarding the sermons or topics we discuss in these podcasts.

Ep. 83 In our first video episode, we're introducing a new series, "Asking For A Friend!" If you've ever hesitated to ask a tough question about faith because you thought you *should* already know the answer... If you've ever felt like everyone else has their faith figured out while you're still trying to make sense of things... You're in the right place. This is a space to bring up real, honest, and sometimes even awkward questions about faith, life, and what it truly means to follow Jesus. Because here's the thing-we all have questions, especially when it comes to faith. And sometimes, we just don't know where to take them. But asking questions is not only okay, it's essential for spiritual growth!In this series, we're going to tackle the hard stuff, the questions believers are actually asking. And here's the best part: these aren't just random questions we came up with. They're YOUR questions. This podcast is a conversation, and we want to hear from you. If you've got a burning question about faith, send it our way! Faith isn't about pretending to have it all together. It's about seeking, asking, and growing. And that's exactly what we're going to do together in this series. So grab a cup of coffee, get comfy, and let's get into it. Because the questions we ask today just might be the ones that deepen our faith tomorrow.

We know that often times people want to experience a growing faith, but they have legitimate questions that keep them from moving forward. During this series, we'll tackle some of those questions, and give you something solid to which you can anchor your faith. How do I know God's Will for My Life? / God what is going on?!

God is cool with your questions. In this message, Pastor Jamie Nunnally answers YOUR submitted questions.  1. What does it mean to be a disciple and how does that look in our everyday lives?A disciple is anyone who follows Jesus. The Greek word is similar to the idea of an apprentice—someone who learns by working with a mentor.Luke 9:23More info: "I Have Decided" sermon series, January, 2021 2. What does the Bible say about interracial relationships?Absolutely nothing. Interracial marriage is not wrong. Nehemiah 13:27 Bottom line: Any biblical warning against intermarrying is about idolatry not ethnicity. 3. Is it okay for people to keep Old Testament laws like not eating pork or celebrating Jewish feasts/festivals if they still believe we are made right with God through Jesus?The Jewish dietary laws and the feasts were part of an old covenant with ancient Israel. Now, they hold no power when it comes to our holiness.Colossians 2:16Galatians 5:4In 2 Corinthians 3:6 Paul calls the OT law the "ministry of death." More info: Even More Elephants pt. 2: Christians & Jews (August 2017) 4. When is the last time that you gave a sermon that was not scheduled weeks in advance?Although I have a plan, I don't write sermons until Friday the week of. And of course, everything is always subject to change. Scheduling in advance is a good thing. 5. How do you handle anger at your spouse when you're spiritually mismatched? They say they are a believer but refuse to go to church and aren't really showing any kind of relationship with God.James 1:20 says the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.-Communication -Intercession -Demonstration - Show them what a Christian is like.1 Corinthians 7:14 6. What's the difference between demonic possession and demonic oppression? How can children of God be affected by either?Revelation 12:9Three levels of influence by a demon: possession, oppression, persuasion.The way someone becomes affected by a demon is to agree with that spirit's primary objective.1 Peter 5:8-9More info: VFC courses 102 & 104 7. Where did God come from?Genesis 1:1 In the beginning, God...God is an uncreated spirit. He is eternal in the future and in the past. 8. Can you explain what is meant by Progressive Christianity? Is it a good thing or bad thing?Progressive Christianity is a trending movement among Christians that questions traditional Christian beliefs and often rejects orthodox theology and embraces current cultural beliefs.Matthew 16:6 "Watch out!" Jesus warned them. Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees".A few markers of progressive Christianity:1. A low view of Jesus and a high view of mankind. 2. Having a low regard for scripture.3. An over-emphasis on social justice.More info: Elephants in the Room 2021, Part 5.Are you trusting God with your questions?

Questions discussed in this episode: If the ultimate end is either heaven or hell; how will sinners be judged differently? It seems either A or B. And if so, how does God control the judgements in hell?Do I need to confess my sins to someone else in addition to God?Do I need to be specific when repenting of my sins before God or can it be a blanket confession?Can certain types of sin lead someone further away from God than other sins?Why doesn't Exodus 21 (consequences for sin) apply to Christians today - or does it?Do certain sins determine a Christian's “status” when they get to heaven?Can the unrepentant “little lie” send someone to hell just like the unrepentant sin of adultery or murder would?What does it mean in Romans 1:18-24 when the Apostle Paul says God “gave them up” to their sins?Can a Christian ever become sinless after repenting of their sin and following Jesus?As a reminder we have created a place where you can send us your questions regarding the sermons or topics we discuss in these podcasts.
