Last week, Pastor Kyle spoke on the need for forgiveness from God and that we should be offering forgiveness to those who have sinned against us as well. Today he touches on how we should put the action of forgiving others into actual practice – another step in making us more like Christ.
Forgiveness is a central tenet of the Christian faith. What does it REALLY mean to forgive someone? Listen in as Pastor Kyle explores the ramifications of forgiveness between us and others – and us and God. Hint: It's more than what our culture thinks.

Not Today with Jenn Sterger and Eddie Pence discusses why Jenn wore the hat that she wore that she didn't knew she wore... if that makes sense. Sometimes Jenn's ADHD signs her up for things that her Austism doesn't know about. Daily stress can build up and explode all over you like a volcano. Plus, Jenn's inner salesmen doesn't really help her in her long term relationships, because sometimes she's not the "Cool Girl" he sold her as. Should you be nest friends with your kid and if so should you tease them to toughen them up? Also, Florida Man Friday!
Should we avoid hanging with the ungodly or should we hang with the ungodly? The answer is yes! It's both. Pastor Richard explains in the final instalment of “Friending” with a sermon entitled…”UNfriending”.
What does a Biblical community look like? How did the early church practice community? What is Jesus' example of living in community? Karina Nandan answers these questions in this instalment of "Friending".
Pastor Wee Yeong continues our "Friending" series with a message on loneliness.

Pastor Chrissie Urbahn starts off our new series about friendship called “Friending”. In this sermon, Pastor Chrissie defines what a friend is and shares three principles on friendship.

The plaintiff says she and the defendant are longtime friends. She loaned her pal some money, but she hasn't been repaid, so she's suing. The defendant says the money was a gift and claims the plaintiff's son even threatened her. The plaintiff says he hired the defendant to install his 65-inch TV on the wall, but the man cracked it. He has it on video, and the defendant still refuses to pay for it. The defendant says he's being framed, and claims the TV was nine months old. He says it was already damaged. The plaintiff says she agreed to rent an apartment from the defendant, but he couldn't get the previous tenants to move out and it fell through. Still, the man refuses to return her deposit or cover her storage costs, so she's suing. The defendant says he warned the plaintiff he might have trouble getting the tenants out, and he insists the deposit was non-refundable.

Holy shit, can you believe these idiots have reviewed 300 eps of SVU and are still sane (sorta?)

Of course the older guy is the creepiest most dangerous dude at this party. Who all is in on this plot to kidnap this girl? Is it a young Katherine Heigle? What the fuck is happening?

Would you like to build your network and grow your business? Using social media platforms, such as Facebook, is one way to accomplish this. You can increase your chances of getting more leads by friending other people on Facebook. Facebook, however, has so many users that it can be challenging to decide who to friend and who not to. You can, however, take some simple steps to set yourself up for success.Make sure you only accept friend requests from people whose profiles and intentions seem valuable to you before accepting them. Are there any common interests between you and them? Do they have any mutual connections? You may want to decline their friend request if they don't seem to add any value to both of you. Once you accept a friend request, don't stop there. For the relationship to continue, you need to start a conversation. This does not mean sending a copy-pasted cold message.The key to social media interaction is to approach it as if you were in person. Introduce yourself, ask them questions, and try to establish a connection. As a result, they will remember you and choose your products and services when they need them. Friending people on Facebook is a great way to grow your network and generate more leads. However, it's essential to be selective about who you accept friend requests from and to focus on creating genuine conversations with potential leads. By following these tips and avoiding being spammy tammy, you can leverage the power of social media to build your business and achieve greater success.Connect with Emmy on the GRAM @theheyheyemmy or hang out on Facebook.Grab my Exclusive FREE Two-Part Training- How to Build a Successful Personal Brand from Scratch.

If you are a podcaster that wants to use your show to grow your business, but you also do NOT want to engage in high pressure sales situations.....this episode is for you! One of the things I struggled with most early on in my podcasting career was learning how to effectively close a sale when I was talking with a prospect. I tried all of the "bro sales" techniques that you see marketed online and nothing felt good to me and I couldn't execute them effectively. Eventually I developed my own sales style that centered around relationship building and what I now call "Friending people into submission."

The plaintiff purchased some rare furniture from the defendants, but he says a year has passed, and he still hasn't received anything, so he's suing for a refund. The defendants tried shipping the furniture, but they claim the plaintiff couldn't agree on a shipping company, and the furniture has been sitting in their warehouse. Then, the plaintiff hired the defendant to ship his Toyota pickup truck to Belize, but he claims the truck arrived damaged, so the plaintiff is suing for the repairs. The defendant says he is not responsible for the damages because all he did was drop the vehicle off in Florida before it was shipped off to Belize. Plus, the plaintiff and his former friend agreed on renting a lake house together. The plaintiff says he gave a portion of money to the defendant to pay for the trip, but the defendant switched the intended rental location, and the plaintiff was no longer interested. The defendant won't return the money, so the plaintiff is suing. The defendant alleges he and 30 people got together to rent the house, and the plaintiff just tried to back out the last minute.

We all know fight or flight, some of us know freeze—but did you know about fawning? It's a whole new way to respond to trauma (weeeee!). It usually starts in childhood when we learn from our parents or caregivers that it isn't safe to say no, assert our needs, or fight back. Then we bring it into adulthood and—lo and behold—we can't stand up to people, even people who abuse us (*collective "fuuuuckkkk"*). In this episode, I'm joined by psychotherapist Liz Marks to talk about healing the fawning trauma response. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thepatraumaparty/support

Pastor Bob began a new series on relationships and the importance of friends. The quality of life is determined by the quality of friends. With the current lack of friends for many people and the importance of friends, we need to look at Jesus and the story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37 (NKJV)) to see how we can learn Friending Like Jesus.Did you pray that prayer of salvation with us today?

Melissa Neagles was Mel Rose's first friend. They met in Kindergarten. After Melissa moved away in second grade, the two tried to keep in touch but life got in the way. Social media and email didn't exist back then. WILD! Imagine. The good old days right? Well, fast forward 20 whole years. Both were looking for each other. Melissa got married at 22 and had a different last name and Mel changed her first name to Mel Rose. No luck. Then Mel went and did some crazy stuff called Reality TV. And luckily Melissa saw Mel on TV and thought to look her up as she seemed familiar. She realized it was her old friend by the love of artichokes on one of her pages..not one of the fake wannabe Mel Rose's. And there were many. Mel is grateful she took the time to search through all of them! The rest is history. They picked up right where they left off and their friendship hit it's 10 year mark with this episode! Melissa is an occupation therapist. Curious what that job is? Listen in! It is a field that combines mental and phsyical wellness and creativity to get people back to functioning normally. Melissa explains it better than we do. Melissa went through a lot to get to the point of knowing exactly what she wants to do with her life. That happens to be a CHT. That stands for Certified Hand Therapist. Mel stumbled upon this career path by accompanying her mother to an OT appointment for her trigger finger. We hear it a lot on the podcast. That many people just happen to find that thing that calls to them by living their life. Melissa is an inspiration and goddess all around. She is also the best friend anyone could ask for and Mel is grateful for her to be back in her life! Mel2 as we like to call these besties covered a lot of topics. One was how being stagnant in your daily routine is toxic, see this article for the danger of not getting physical activity daily. Also, just in case you cared, People who work out have more and better orgasms. Just saying. The thing is about OT as a career is that it is complex. It merges physical with mental and is a very diverse and creative field. Which is why it is so hard for people to understand what it is. What we know is that Melissa is going to be a game changer in this field, we just know it. When you mix genuine care with high intelligence and a willingness to want to grow and evolve your industry, you have magic and Melissa has all of this. We cannot wait to see what she manifest in the Goddess Circles! The other topic that the ladies touched was Sensory Thresholds which will be our topic in our Goddess Circle on Januray 13th at 4pm ESt. Join in at www.seastargodddess.com for more info.
