Chapter 1 What's Addictions by Edward T. Welch"Addictions" by Edward T. Welch is an insightful exploration into the nature of addictive behaviors and their profound impact on individuals' lives. The book delves into various forms of addiction, including substance abuse, behavioral addictions, and the underlying spiritual and emotional issues that often accompany these struggles. Welch emphasizes the importance of understanding addiction not purely as a chemical dependency but as a complex interplay of sin, suffering, and the need for redemption.He advocates for a compassionate, faith-based approach to recovery, urging readers to recognize their true identity in Christ as a means to combat the feelings of shame and isolation that often accompany addiction. Through scriptural references and practical guidance, Welch offers hope and a path to healing, encouraging individuals to seek support and community in their recovery journeys. The book is designed not only for those struggling with addiction but also for friends and family members seeking to better understand how to provide support.Chapter 2 Addictions by Edward T. Welch Summary"Addictions" by Edward T. Welch is a comprehensive exploration of the nature of addiction, offering both a psychological and a spiritual perspective. Welch, a licensed counselor and author, emphasizes that addictions are not just physical dependencies or behavioral compulsions; they are deeply rooted in the human struggle for meaning, fulfillment, and connection. Key Themes:The Nature of Addiction: Welch outlines that addiction is often misunderstood as merely a health problem or a lack of willpower. He argues that it is fundamentally a relational issue — it's about what people worship and how they seek comfort and joy.Idolatry and Desire: One of Welch's main points is the idea of idolatry. He suggests that addictions stem from the desire to fill a void in life, where substances or behaviors become idols that people turn to for comfort rather than God. Grace and Recovery: Weaving in Christian theology, Welch discusses the role of grace in the recovery process. He highlights that while self-help approaches can be beneficial, true healing stems from understanding one's identity in Christ and the power of redemption.Practical Steps Towards Healing: Welch offers practical suggestions for individuals struggling with addiction, including accountability, community support, and developing new, healthy relationships. He emphasizes the need to replace unhealthy patterns with positive ones, which serve to nurture growth and deeper relationships.Hope and Transformation: The book is ultimately hopeful, suggesting that recovery is a journey that engages both the mind and the heart. Welch encourages readers to recognize their struggles as part of a broader human experience, advocating for grace and support throughout the recovery process. Conclusion:"Addictions" is both a diagnostic tool and a guide towards understanding how individuals can navigate the complexities of addiction. Welch's approach is compassionate and deeply insightful, combining both psychological principles and spiritual truths to offer a path towards healing and restoration.Chapter 3 Addictions AuthorEdward T.

Today we continue with a series based on Psalm 27. If you haven't already done so, I recommend listening to the first episode which covers some background thoughts on the context of the Psalm. Now, on to today's verse. “Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, spouting malicious accusations.” (Psalm 27:12 NIV11) The prayer progresses (from vv7-12) through: i. Addressing God ii. Reminding God that seeking Him is His idea iii. A plea for acceptance iv. An appeal to the divine nature of His love v. A request for guidance and strength vi A desire for protection in a specific situation False…accusations Does anything feel worse that false accusations made publicly and with some semblance of credibility? We have a spiritual accuser: “..the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.” (Revelation 12:10 NIV11) David's treatment is mirrored in that of Jesus, Matt 26.59; Mk 15.24, 29, 34; Lk 23.18, 25. Jesus endured such treatment without losing his trust in his Father. He had confidence in God's goodness just as David did - which we will see in the next two verses. How to respond “The key is to trust what He says and to doubt the accuser's accusations of our unworthiness. When we do this we give up attempts to make us feel good about ourselves.” Lucado, Grace After someone was baptised in 4th century Jerusalem they anointed the forehead (lose the shame of Adam), ears (to hear divine mysteries), nose (to become aroma of Christ), and chest (arm against the devil). Bradshaw, Early Christian Worship. It's an unnecessary, but meaningfully symbolic way of reinforcing the truth that our shame is removed. In hris book Shame Interrupted, Edward T. Welch says, “Listen for the love, hate the shame, and have no tolerance for resignation. That's the plan.” With God this is possible. What are the lessons from this verse? Are you facing external false accusations? If so, what does this Psalm teach you about the best way to respond? Similarly, are you facing internal false accusations? Has false guilt and shame got hold of you? If so, what does this Psalm teach you about the best way to respond? What is it about the example of Jesus that inspires you when you are falsely accused? We will conclude today's podcast with the song I wrote using the words of Psalm 27 verse 4. Next week we will proceed to the next verse of the Psalm. In the meantime, please add your comments on this week's topic. We learn best when we learn in community. Do you have a question about teaching the Bible? Is it theological, technical, practical?

On this podcast, we discuss a lot of what is wise or is the wise thing to do. Today, I want to discuss the opposite of wisdom - anger. Anger is the opposite of wisdom because of what unchecked anger leads to - sin. I know you may be thinking that you don't have an issue with anger, but I want you to tune into today's podcast and allow the wisdom provided here to challenge that belief. Tune in as I unpack the different types of anger (covert anger, cold anger, and hot anger), and how they could be destroying your life. Because we know that at some point in our lives, we will be angry, get ahead of anger by using the strategies provided in this episode. The devotional mentioned in this episode is titled, "A small book about a big problem: Meditations on anger, patience, and peace" by Edward T. Welch.

Have you ever experienced feelings of sadness, grief, isolation, or despair? You are not alone. An estimated 17.3 million American adults experienced depression in 2019, up 2 million from the last five years. It's not hard to imagine how much higher this became in 2020 during the pandemic. And the rates are continuing to rise as COVID-19 persists into the most depressing time of year—midwinter. In light of the diminishing mental health many of us are experiencing in the midst of a pandemic, we thought this would be the perfect time to revive one of our best interviews on the subject with Christian Counselor Dr. Ed Welch. Instead of offering simple platitudes or unrealistic “cure-all” formulas, he addresses the complex nature of depression with compassion and insight, applying the rich treasures of the gospel, and giving fresh hope to those who struggle. Edward T. Welch, M.Div., Ph.D., is a licensed psychologist and faculty member at the Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF). He has counseled for over twenty-five years and has written many books including Depression: Looking Up From the Stubborn Darkness; When People Are Big and God Is Small; Addictions: A Banquet in the Grave; Running Scared: Fear, Worry, and the God of Rest; Crossroads: A Step-by-Step Guide Away from Addiction; and When I Am Afraid: A Step-by-Step Guide Away from Fear and Anxiety. Ed and his wife Sheri have two married daughters and four grandchildren.

Friend to Friend: Hope for your Heart and Help from His Word
"Home Is Where the Heart Is", a feel-good phrase for sure, but a phrase that gives me food for thought. If home is where the heart is then I must ask, "Where is my heart?" the Bible says that out of the heart is the issues of life, therefore I must guard my heart. "From what", you ask? From anything or anyone that would seek to take the place of my Savior. Today, my guest Missy Shook, shares how God has taught her to find joy, safety and contentment in Christ alone. She shares how God's call to be a missionary to Thailand began lessons of trust, dependance and contentment in Christ. When People Are Big and God is Small by Edward T.

Menschenfurcht biblisch überwinden: Grundlage: Ich muss wissen, wer ich in Christus bin. Vier Bausteine, um Menschenfurcht zu überwinden: Gott ist souverän (Römer 11,36) ich bin es nicht Gott offenbart sich seinem Geschöpf (2.

What do you do when you’re unsure of your God-given gifts? How do you figure out your purpose? And what questions should you ask when you’re feeling overwhelmed by everything on your plate? In this episode, Holly and I talk with Breshana Miller, wife, mom, business owner, entrepreneur, pastor’s wife, and Bible college student about how to have clarity about your calling, how to stop comparing yourself to others, and what time management is really about. Breshana has some “drop the mic” moments of wisdom that you do not want to miss. Breshana’s Leadership Journey: Breshana currently shares leadership duties with her pastor-husband, leads her family of three kids, nurtures and teaches those at their church, and she leads herself. Oh, and she has a corporate career too! Breshana was given a leadership role during her time in the military when her chief promoted her to the team lead of her unit. She found this challenging because she’d never led in that way before and she was leading her peers. It all unfolded well, but she put a lot of pressure on herself because she didn’t want to make mistakes or fail. Leadership Lessons Breshana Learned in the Military As a leader, you have to be selfless. Leadership isn’t about you. Always look out for those to your right and left. Care about the people you work with. Take the time to understand them before judging. The more you know about your people, the better you can lead. How Breshana Transitioned from the Military to Ministry For Breshana, the transition was radical because of the mindset shift. There are no options in the military; you do what you’re assigned. In ministry, people will tell you “no” or ask for time to pray and consider. She had to switch her communication style, learn patience, and develop a new level of compassion. How Breshana and Her Husband Work Together in Ministry There are lots of expectations of being a pastor's wife. She had to learn to have God’s help to get out from under the weight of people’s expectations that she looks perfect and hosts perfect parties. She doesn’t allow herself to get trapped by people’s expectations because then she’s not operating in her gifts or God’s grace. When you try to please people you live with a level of insecurity and anxiety. She’s allowing God to lead her and she’s putting the weight of expectations on Him. How Breshana Transitioned from Ministry to Business God called her into entrepreneurship when she was in high school and sold Avon. As an adult, she wanted to take her entrepreneurial spirit outside the church so she could impact more women in a flexible way. That’s when she began her business as a coach. Breshana’s Mentors She has mentors and guides in her life and mentorship is an evolving process. In college, she had a professor who encouraged her to teach, but Breshana resisted. In the military, she was put in charge of training sessions by her superior officer. But in ministry, she felt unsure of what she should do. As she heard God calling her to teach, she remembered these previous moments when others had tasked her with teaching. Through them, God affirmed her call to teach. Breshana’s Advice for Younger Leaders: Don’t lead alone. Be teachable. Be willing to go against the grain. Be okay with the fact that not everyone will always agree with your decision. And don’t concede to other’s decisions because you want to be liked. Be transparent when you make a mistake. Developing Confidence in Your Gifts For The Woman Who is Unsure of Her Gifts In her business, Breshana helps women to step into their giftings and purpose. She starts by having lots of conversations. For some women, God wakes them up to their own purpose. For other women, God uses other people to speak into their lives. Your desire and your gifts must come together to understand what God called you and purposed you to do. Ask yourself: What desire do I have? What distinct and natural abilities do I have? The answers to those two questions will help you know what business to pursue. She wants every woman to have clarity about who they are and what they desire. Then she can bring that plan to life with a vision, plan, and strategy. Every woman can have certainty in knowing what God has created her to do. When you operate out of your gifts and desires, you don’t have to compare. Don’t allow the canvas of others to determine your masterpiece. You are God’s masterpiece and His vessel to bring His good works to earth. How to Develop Confidence with Your Gifts For Breshana, it took a while. For a while, she was very self-conscious. She felt frustrated with what to do so she asked God why. She realized that she was the source of her own frustration and she needed to step outside of herself. God made her the way He did for a reason. She also realized that: She can’t help everybody There are specific people God ordained for her to work with. Breshana realized that God gave her her voice, gifts, and temperament to help certain women who would need her to be who she is. You are where you need to be and you have everything you need to do what God’s asked you to do. Growth comes from taking one step. God honors that one step because that’s faith in action. We must believe and then receive what God says about us. Allow the truth to take root and grow. Stumbling Blocks Women Face as They Accept Their Gifts Breshana says that women tend to believe that no one will value their gifts, and they perceive this before they’ve even taken one step. Women are considered with whether they’ll be valued and accepted. They also think through all the “What if” scenarios. How Breshana Manages Her Time Breshana wears a lot of hats and has great advice for how women can make room in their schedules for what God has called them to do. Here’s what Breshana does to make her multi-passionate life happen: Makes sure here children are clear on the family calendar. Wakes up early. Has a housekeeper on an as-needed basis. Other times the entire family chips in to keep the house clean. Asks for help. Doesn’t have a “get-it-all-done” attitude. Breshana’s Perspective on Time Management Breshana believes that handling your schedule and completing tasks isn’t really about time management, it’s about work management, self-leadership, and surrender. God will make room in your schedule for everything He’s asked you to do. “We say we don’t have time, but sometimes it’s because we’re not saying ‘yes’ to the right things.” As women, we say “no” to others and “yes” to ourselves, but what are we saying to God? God will work out your schedule so it doesn’t include anxiety and stress. When you do feel stressed asked why you’re stress and what that you haven’t yielded yourself to yet? Stress doesn’t come from God. Look to the Bible on how to manage your time. What does God say? Breshana’s book recommendation: What Do You Think of Me? And Why Do I Care?* by Edward T.

God's design for the family is a good and wonderful gift...and vary widely! From the single mom, to the family adopting, to the single gal, to the couple trying to conceive, and so many more situations. In today's episode we are going to open up the discussion on how do we respond when "family" doesn't really look the way we think it should and how we can start to keep an eye out for those suffering or falling under the radar - and how we can learn to come along side them.

In light of the upcoming holiday, I decided to bring one of the coolest single ladies I know to chat about singleness. Happy Valentines Day, single ladies! Today’s guest, Becca Harris, is 36, single, loves Jesus, and is mama to two young men that she adopted out of foster care who are now 20 and 17 years old. Becca’s boys moved in when they were 14 and 11. They were 16 and 13 when she adopted them. Becca and I talked about everything from Jesus’ life as a single man to what it looks like to submit our desires to the Lord without shutting the doors on our dreams. Even if you’re not single, you’ll want to stick around to learn how we can love our single friends better, but beyond that, Becca’s story is an incredible one to hear in general, regardless of your current season. I’m certain it will stir your affections for Jesus and inspire you to walk in obedience to whatever He asks of you. I walked away from this conversation inspired to happily follow Jesus in whatever it is that He sets before me. I hope you find Becca’s obedience to Christ just as inspiring as I do! This conversation is actually the second of five episodes we’re putting out on the topic of relationships. If you’re new, be sure to hop back to last week’s episode with Kim Vollendorf on Intimacy with God and subscribe to the podcast to catch next week’s episode on dating!

Today I interview Dr. Ed Welch about his new book Side by Side (Crossway, 2015). Listen as we talk about his life, ministry, and upcoming writing projects. He also discusses what it means to be needy and to be needed along with how Christians can have thoughtful, encouraging, and refreshing conversations with one another. Along with these important topics, he helps Christians to understand how to keep the Gospel story before ourselves and help others do the same. He also explores ways Christians can grow in relational and emotional maturity, gives his thoughts on the greatest opportunities for the biblical counseling movement, and provides guidance for those in Bible college and seminary students looking to get into counseling. About the Author: Edward T. Welch, M.Div., Ph.D. is a counselor and faculty member at CCEF. He earned a Ph.D. in counseling (neuropsychology) from the University of Utah and has a Master of Divinity degree from Biblical Theological Seminary. Ed has been counseling for over 30 years and has written extensively on the topics of depression, fear, and addictions. His books include: When People Are Big and God is Small; Addictions: A Banquet in the Grave; Blame it on the Brain; Depression—A Stubborn Darkness; Running Scared; Crossroads: A Step-by-Step Guide Away From Addiction; and When I Am Afraid: A Step-by-Step Guide Away from Fear and Anxiety.
