In today's episode, I explore the difficult and often shocking realization that wickedness exists in the world—and sometimes within our closest relationships. Responding to a listener's inquiry and using insights from Adam Young's “The Place We Find Ourselves” podcast, we'll unpack the biblical definition of wickedness and discuss how it operates. I'll also share personal experiences and strategies for recognizing and dealing with destructive individuals.Key Takeaways:The Bible differentiates between normal and wicked people. Understanding these distinctions helps us navigate relationships wisely.Wicked individuals attack and blame others when confronted with their harmful actions.Evil individuals actively seek to destroy and humiliate their targets.A person's true nature is revealed in difficult situations, especially when they are confronted about their harmful behavior.Healing from exposure to wicked or evil individuals is a lifelong process, but it becomes possible when we remove ourselves from the toxic environment.Read the show notes and/or ask Natalie a question hereRelated Resources:Check out Episode 93 of “The Place We Find Ourselves” podcast with Adam Young.Read the article I mentioned, “Why Foolproofing Your Life Will Save Your Life,” and then grab Jan Silvious' book, Foolproofing Your Life.Some related Flying Free Podcast episodes you may enjoy: “What Do You Do If You're Married to a Fool?” and “What are the Biblical Grounds for Divorce?

Do you ever wake up some days and just feel like everything's wrong and nothing is right? I have those days. The joy of the Lord that we often sing about or talk about just seems to be absent. You know, when that happens, it's a good time to just stop and ask yourself, “What is stealing my joy?” Sometimes we let people steal our joy, don't we? It could be that person you work with that just pushes your buttons, or makes your job more difficult, or disrespects you in some way. It could be someone you live with—a mate or family member—just people. Our lives are full of people and they often cause us lots of stress, frustrate us, and steal our joy. What can you do when someone steals your joy—a lot? First, learn to put a shield up against their criticism or negativity or whatever it is they do or say that steals your joy. Pray in advance that God will help you shield your mind and emotions from their joy-stealing tactics. As my friend, Jan Silvious, says, picture yourself in a castle with a moat around you, and just pull up the bridge when the joy-stealer comes your way. You may not be able to avoid them, but you can shield your mind from them. Also, don't spend any more time than you have to with joy-stealers. Proverbs 13:20 says, “Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.” Choose your companions carefully. Certainly we never treat anyone unkindly or arrogantly, but it is important that we avoid people who continually try to steal our joy. It's important to pray for those people in your life who are difficult. Ask God to help you understand why they are the way they are—to see them as God sees them. When you can look beyond their behavior and have some understanding of what lies behind it, you may be amazed at how that changes your feelings and actually gives you compassion so that they just can't steal your joy any longer, even if they never change.

Jan is back! Author, speaker, and life coach Jan Silvious returns to talk about changes. She’s experienced a lot of that in the last couple of years. She says that for many, that word means “the end.” But it doesn’t have to. What is the change you’re having a hard time dealing with? Don’t miss the encouragement from Jan Silvious on Chris Fabry Live.
Our legacy is a continual expression of love, value, faith, and belief. Our investment in the bright future of our kinds inspires hope that whatever we have taught them will live on after we're gone. Jan Silvious speaks to us today about building legacies based on God's strength and graciousness that our children can easily follow. “I never liked the uniformity of church. My dad insisted I attend church three times a week. We have to work with children with the way they are bent.” Jan challenges us to be creative and recognize the bent of each kid in order to encourage them to raise a banner of godliness in their generation. Some children are very creative, some are shy and some are outspoken, yet each can be reached in unique ways. Jan suggests ways we can reach our children creatively and how we might adjust our approach to meet their needs graciously. “When I see graciousness, I see women who are strong, and they offer to people around them what they do not deserve.” Jan further shares practical advice on how to be gracious and how to leave a legacy of strength. Graciousness is shown by giving. Our sacrifices models a framework for our children to grow into their own people — with strength, grace and commitment.
