They are simple phrases that sound Christian―like something you might find in the Bible. They capture some element of truth but hide or distort others.Everything happens for a reason.God helps those who help themselves.God won't give you more than you can handle.God said it, I believe it, that settles it.Love the sinner, hate the sin.In this message, we begin a new 5-week series, "Half Truths," where we will examine these common phrases within the context of scripture, starting with "Everything Happens For a Reason."Resource: Adam Hamilton, "Half Truths."If this message is a blessing, you can support our ministries by donating at www.fumccb.com.

We're continuing in our new sermon series “Dumb Things Smart Christians Believe” this week. Despite the best of intentions, we may come to believe things are true that might not actually be accurate. In the most challenging or painful times in our lives, people may seek to bring us comfort and hope by suggesting “Everything Happens For a Reason.” But is that actually true? Pastor Kent will be leading us in exploring that together. To learn more about us, visit www.braemarbaptist.com.

When life gets sticky, we often hear people say the strangest things to comfort one another. Often times that backfires. One such message is the cold lame statement "It was meant to be" Then there is the statement a.k.a. belief that "Everything Happens For a Reason" In this episode, we dissect both sides of the "Everything Happens for a Reason" argument. There is no right or wrong here, listen to get an appreciation for how others may feel differently than you. This way you might be able to have some compassion for a friend or even yourself when going through a difficult time. Thank you for tuning and remember to check back every Tuesday for a new episode.

In Episode 2, we've got news: we changed the podcast name! In the spirit of this shift, we're talking about course-correcting, finding opportunity within challenge, and the Jungian approach of turning lead into gold. We talk about uncovering buried treasure in our gardens--learning to see our own inherent gifts and goodness rather than projecting it externally. And, we discuss gathering gold from all seasons of life, finding compassion in our struggles, and bringing that compassion to others. References The Robcast, Episode 77: T'shuvah!

Self-compassion means being warm, kind, and giving yourself grace. Have you ever felt like a sheet being tossed to and fro in the dryer? A lack of self-compassion and clarity can leave us feeling like a sheet in the dryer. Swish, shush, swish, and a ton of other noise going on in our mind as it spins with overwhelm. Often, but especially during the holiday season, we feel like we don't have direction or clarity and it's important to give ourselves the gift of self-compassion. Instead of having self-compassion, we often only see what's wrong with us. We lack compassion and self-judgment overrules. Krista Resnick saw this first-hand with her photography clients and decided to become a life coach so that she could do deeper work and impact women and how they feel about themselves. Everything Happens For a Reason When we are on a journey, every experience leads us to something more meaningful, for purpose. We need to stop looking at life from why is this happening to me, to why is this happening for me? This outlook shift will move us from a victim's mindset to become seekers. This mindset shift will help us heal and grow and be our authentic, beautiful selves. What Does Self-Compassion mean? Self-compassion means to be warm, kind, and to give yourself grace. That is true self-compassion. Talking to ourselves like we would talk to a friend. We give compassion to others, but no for ourselves. When we aren't coming from a place of self-compassion, we are coming from a place of self-judgment. Self-judgement is a form of protection. It is a way to protect ourselves from being hurt or judged. We are judging ourselves so others can't judge us. If we are being cruel to ourselves by judging ourselves. This is an act of blocking ourselves from expansion, up-leveling, growing, and stepping into the most powerful version of ourselves. When we are doing this to ourselves, we can't build relationships with others. Self-Love and Self-Compassion go Hand-in-Hand Self-love is the power cord to all things. Knowing that you were made for something powerful and great and that you are enough. We aren't taught how to have self-compassion or to love ourselves. Self-judgment is Learned and Blocks Self-Compassion Many people have been taught to judge themselves. When people grow up in a home of judgment and squashing of ideas, they will be more likely to judge themselves and lack self-compassion. Start to make judgment unfamiliar and start to make self-compassion familiar. Awareness Awareness is where we begin. We can't change what we aren't aware of. But we have to embody the beliefs and implement them. It takes action. Information doesn't equate to transformation. Embodiment, action, and intention have to come into play. Patience is an underutilized tool. It's not a one and done when it comes to learning self-compassion. You can't just read about it, you have to take action. Fear leads us to procrastination and when we procrastinate, we don't take action to embody the things we need to embrace self-compassion. Ask Yourself What is it that stops you from practicing self-compassion? Clarity It is often clarity that stops us from having self-compassion and taking action to achieve our goals and dreams. You have to have clarity around that to be able to shift it. "Clear is kind. Unclear is unkind." – Brene Brown Not being clear on what you want in your life causes suffering. The mind knows that once we get clear we have to take action, and taking action is intimidating. Find out what stops you from practicing self-compassion. When you are kind to yourself, is when you have terrific gains. 3 Elements of Self-Compassion Self-awareness We cannot shift what we are not aware of. Notice when are you being the mean girl. When do you feel low? When are you bombarding yourself with the should have's, etc. Common Humanity We have to stop isolating ourselves because we aren't the only ones going through hard things. Every human has pain and suffering. We are all in this together and should be supporting each other. Kindness over judgment Kindness over self-judgment. Grace over self-berating. I am enough. I deserve unconditional love. If we aren't nice to ourselves, how will we rise and make the impact we are meant to make. You can't rise and answer your diving calling if you don't have self-compassion. Action Start to make self-compassion familiar. Patience and Grace What stops me from being more compassionate with myself? Identify What stops me from being warm and understanding with myself? What are my go-to self-judgments? Take self-judgments and flip them – write them in the voice of self-compassion Identify one way we can give ourselves grace? Everything starts with just one thing. Honor yourself by taking action to that one thing to offer yourself grace. It's important to write these out, not type them so that the brain can truly connect with them. Be aware of the two voices: the voice of judgment and the voice of compassion. Notice when you take that action how it feels in the body. What is your mind offering you when you take that grace. Pay attention to your body and trust yourself to know when it's time to give yourself another compassion break. Patience Much of this work is about slowing down. Patience comes into play to be able to slow down, take time, don't rush through it, and we'll know when it's time to move forward with another step. Often times when we slow down, we start to panic. Rushing through life is a response to trauma. So when we stop, a flood of emotions come into our mind and heart. Then we want to numb ourselves. Picking up our phones or other addictions are tools we use to numb ourselves. When these moments come, take an inventory of what's going on. Take them as a reminder to slow down and treasure the emotions and moments that are fleeting.

Pastor Thomas preaches from Romans 8 as we tackle the phrase, "Everything Happens For a Reason" and look at the Biblical perspective of why things happen.

SITE: http://www.courtneyanderson.com/swca-episode-168-myth-warriors-series-everything-happens-for-a-reason.html SHOW NOTES: In the MYTH WARRIORS™ series we are targeting ideas to begin to assess whether they are credible or not. We are warriors fighting to establish clarity between what is accurate and what is simply a myth (or falsehood) in life. This episode is, “Everything Happens For a Reason.” Our options that we discuss in this show are: 1) Everything happens. 2) Everything happens for a reason. 3) Everything happens for a specific reason (religious based, scientifically based, etc.). This is intriguing show! Please join in as we explore some ideas that will challenge our assumptions about “what we know.” I did not anticipate that I would be so drawn into examining my own ideas about our world as I was in this show! I am not a theologian, a historian, a philosopher, a physicist or anything other than a layperson with curiosity about these topics. If you do not want to think about the questions this show poses, just go to another episode. My intent is for all of us to be “unsure” about “what we know” by utilizing a process of critical thinking and inquiry. A) In addressing option 1, “Everything happens,” how do we know what is ‘everything’ and what is actually happening? In the show we discuss that we may be experiencing reality right now or we may not. We may instead be experiencing a facade of reality (or a simulation) like in the movie, The Matrix (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133093/plotsummary). Or, we may be simply viewing shadows that we are mistaking for reality (e.g., Plato, The Allegory of the Cave https://faculty.washington.edu/smcohen/320/cave.htm). B) In addressing option 2, “Everything happens for a reason,” how do we begin to ascribe a reason to our still undefined ‘everyth
