Podcasts about love is a choice

In this episode, I share a deeply personal conversation with Sallie Mosely about how our family of origin impacts our relationships and decisions. Sallie, a spiritual life coach, author, and musician who was in a long-term neurodiverse marriage shares her unique insights. We explore the role of unhealthy patterns and behaviors, delve into codependency, and discuss the liberating act of letting go of people who no longer serve us. We also examine the reasons why we chose our neurodiverse partners, and the journey towards conflict resolution, dispelling the lies we tell ourselves, and replacement role models. We unravel the unconscious hold of destructive cycles and how to begin to feel worthy and loved.More information on Sallie Mosely: https://sparrowsongstudios.com/about-2/Love Is A Choice: https://www.amazon.com/Love-Choice-Definitive-Unhealthy-Relationships/dp/0785263756Join our community of thriving Cassandra women.https://healingcassandracommunity.com

In the second episode of Season Two, CARTER is joined by one of the homies, Omari. Tune in as they talk about what love demands, the importance of loving first, honesty, and acknowledging our loved ones' growth. We all have so much to learn. A reminder that each day we get to choose love. Love is a choice.

Bible Reading: John 13:34-35; 1 John 4:20-21Charlotte was sitting on the couch doing homework when her little brother, Georgie, came bounding into the room. "Incoming!" he shouted as he leapt onto the couch, right into her lap."Georgie! Get off me!" shouted Charlotte and she pushed him away. Georgie fell off the couch and started to cry. Mom came into the room. "What did you do, Charlotte?" she asked. "Nothing!" replied Charlotte. "He's the one who jumped on me, and look! He ripped the page of my textbook! I always get blamed for everything." She stomped to her room and slammed the door behind her.A little while later, Mom paid her a visit. "What's going on, Charlotte? Why are you so angry at your brother?" she asked softly."He's so annoying!" Charlotte exclaimed. "And he never leaves me alone.""You know that's because he loves you, don't you?" said Mom."Well, I don't love him," said Charlotte flatly."You may not always like what Georgie does, but you can still love him," said Mom. "Love isn't a feeling, Charlotte, it's a choice. As Christians, we choose to love others because God loved us first and sent Jesus to save us from sin. Because of Him, you can choose to act in a loving way toward your brother, even if you don't feel like it." Later that day, Charlotte was reading in a chair on the driveway while Georgie rode his bike. "Look at me, Charlotte!" he shouted as he raced around. Charlotte ignored him. She was still mad.Suddenly, Charlotte heard the squeal of tires as a car rounded the bend too fast. Georgie was headed right for the road! Charlotte jumped up, ran down the driveway, and pushed Georgie off his bike and into the grass. The speeding car went up onto the curb and hit their mailbox. Charlotte scooped her startled brother into her arms and buried her face in his hair. Her heart was beating wildly.That evening, Georgie told their dad all about the day's excitement. "Charlotte saved me, Daddy!" he exclaimed as he hugged Charlotte's legs. Mom gently embraced them both. "Thank you for choosing love, Charlotte," she whispered and gave them each a kiss. –Laura KuehnHow About You?Do you ever have a hard time getting along with your brothers and sisters? Do you sometimes get angry with your parents or your friends? If you know Jesus, you can choose to act in a loving way toward others, no matter how you might feel. Because He loves us, we can love others. Choose to love, even when you don't feel like it.Today's Key Verse:Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

Boy, oh boy, are you in for a double treat! Melissa is someone I met almost 8 years ago. She moved away for a few years and, independent of one another, we suffered loss and went through sadness. We also grew in our faith and wisdom through wrestling with God, practicing forgiveness, experiencing grief, and so much more. Melissa explains her peace through trials because of her faith. We talked so much that I split our interview into two parts. Our first part covers love, forgiveness, serving, and faith. You will laugh and maybe shed a tear. You will walk away with some wisdom Melissa has gained from others in her own growth journey. Here's Melissa, Part One. Listen and read my blog: https://whilewerestillhere.com and https://grimtea.comReach me at kathy@whilewerestillhere.comStarting with Episode 56, the episode music was added.

If there is one principle I have learned in nearly 40 years of marriage, it's the principle that love is a choice. It's a decision. It is not a feeling.Dr. Gary Chapman believes that as well because “choice” is in the name of his newest book. Dr. Gary Chapman is an author, speaker, and counselor who has a passion for helping people form lasting relationships. You may recognize his name from his book, The 5 Love Languages, which is a resource that Mark and I often use in our marriage coaching (Gary also wrote the foreword to our book No More Perfect Marriages).

“To last for the long haul and through the stresses and complexities of life, love has to be more than something we feel. It has to be something we do. We have to demonstrate it concretely in our marriages and families, among our friends and acquaintances, and, yes, even among our enemies. And that's what this book is about. In its pages, you'll see examples of people just like you—like all of us—who learned to take the obstacles, the lemons they face in life, and turn them into satisfying, emotional thirst-quenching nectar. These are the success stories that make you want to go out and discover the power of love.” Gary Chapman If you're feeling weary or burdened by the call to love, you'll find strength and hope in the pages of this book. Love is a Choice gives us stories of love in action, inspiring us to go deeper in our relationships. Each story is coupled with 5 Love Languages® insights and application points.

Have you ever wondered why your perception and thoughts on what constitutes love and affection might differ from a person you have been romantically involved with? Have you ever wondered why your gifts of appreciation were not appreciated by your partner? Have you ever wondered why the words of affection you want to hear from a partner were never said? Wonder no more! The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman is a book which seeks to answer these questions and many more by explaining that you and the person you are romantically involved with may simply be speaking different languages...different love languages! Join the Full e-Booked family as we discuss all things love languages in Season 18 - just in time to tie in with the month containing the most romantic date in the calendar year. Full e-Booked!

In this video, we are joined by speaker, pastor, counselor, and best-selling author of The Five Love Languages, Dr. Gary Chapman, as he shares insights from his latest book, "Love is a Choice." Dr. Chapman's book contains case studies of love, where people share their own stories of loving in difficult situations and demonstrating the power of love. He believes that if more people love, we can change the culture. Dr. Chapman emphasizes the need to feel love from significant people in our lives, which is incredibly meaningful. Love stimulates love, and the biblical concept of love is not just an emotion, but an attitude and an action. Being in a relationship to enrich the other person's life is what love is all about. Dr. Chapman also talks about how many people in American culture nowadays leave a marriage because they are thinking in the short-term, equating love to an emotion. Instead, he encourages people to learn to love using attitude and action. Gino, a businessperson, draws a comparison between this short-term mindset and the long-term mindset in investing principles. Dr. Chapman also shares his personal experience with the initial trouble in his marriage and what he did to change it. He encourages everyone to ask their significant others what they can do to help and be a better partner.

Message | (Summary of my message on "Love in Marriage is a Choice to Serve.") For spouses to love each other, they must first understand what love is. However, the problem is that the word love has many meanings. If we use the wrong meaning, then we'll love our spouse wrongly. Let's examine how God desires spouses to love each other, so we can have healthy and loving marriages. Faith Leaders | A ministry training and mentorship program designed to help you develop your unique form and style of ministry that God has placed in your heart, so that the people whom you are called to lead can experience the desired transformation that God has for them. Enoll | http://faithLeaders.io   Amos Johnson | I am all about helping people succeed at the calling that God has given them because a fulfilled life comes from clearly knowing what God has called you to do and doing it. Therefore, I create a combination of content, communities, and programs to develop people's faith and strengthen all areas of their life because success God's way is a holistic endeavor that involves their faith and every area of their life.

Love is a choice—Elder Lynn G. Robbins believes this so much, he wrote a book about it. After years of counseling with couples in his church capacities, Elder Robbins has seen firsthand how Christlike love helps us develop deeper and more lasting relationships. He teaches us that being a disciple of Christ helps us form strong bonds with those we love, but only if our efforts are driven by intentional and deliberate choices. So in this Valentine's Day episode of All In, we invite you to consider the power of choice and responsibility in all of your relationships—romantic or not.   2:30- Falling Out of Love vs. Growing in Love 14:09- Greatest Happiness Found in the Home 17:45- 100 Percent Responsibility 23:39- Anger and Loud Tones 29:53- Abuse 33:41-Finances 38:48- The Greatest Sermon Christ Gave? 41:51- Happily Ever After—A Choice 46:28- Why Choose Love? 48:13- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ?   “After a couple gets married, that infatuation begins to fade and if they confuse that for true love, they may wonder, ‘Where is that special feeling? Am I falling out of love?' Their marriage is at a very critical crossroads at that point where they need to discover what true love is.”   Links and References Love Is a Choice book “Most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration.” —President Gordon B.

Episode 147- Love is a Choice

The first pillar for a healthy, lifelong marriage is to choose love. If you're working from a faulty definition of love, your marriage won't go the distance.Stats on Marriage and Divorce:In 2022, expect the divorce rate to be at least 44.2%. This is based on a marriage rate of 6.1 people per 1,000 total population and a divorce rate of 2.7 people per 1,000 total population.Usually, second or third marriages in the United States have a higher divorcerate: 60% of second marriages and about 73% of third marriages end in divorce.Couples going through their first divorce are around the age of 30. Married couples between the ages of 20 to 25 are 60% likely to get a divorce.Ethnicity is one of the notable predictors of divorce. For instance, Asian Americans have traditionally shown the lowest divorce rates of all other races. Currently, it's 12.4 divorces per 1,000 people, with at least one divorce for 18% of Asian American women and 16% of men.India has one of the lowest divorce rates globally, estimated to be around 1.1%Love in Pop CultureModern culture depicts love as a feeling that comes and goes. Many couples use this unrealistic standard to measure the quality of love in their marriage. According to the 2019 Survey of U.S. adults, the most common reasons to get married are:Love – 90%Companionship – 66%Commitment – 63%The desire to have children – 31%Finances – 13%Legal rights and benefits –10%Pregnancy – 6%Examples in popular culture: The Notebook - forbidden love, root for the affair The Titanic - Spanglish - surprising that the guy made the right choice!The Office- Jim and PamThe Principle: Love is a ChoiceThe Bible paints a different picture for marital love: Love is a choice, not just a feeling. Make two lists: (1) good feelings you've felt in your marriage (2) bad feelings you've felt in your marriage. How have feelings affected your marriage, positively and negatively?Love is based on a promise and is represented by our marriage vows. Mark 10:2-9, Proverbs 20:25Proverbs 20:25 (NLT) Don't trap yourself by making a rash promise to God and only later counting the cost.Looking back, do you think you understood the commitment you were making on your wedding day? What promises have proven hardest to keep?Mark 10:2-9 (NLT) Some Pharisees came and tried to trap him with this question: “Should a man be allowed to divorce his wife?”Jesus answered them with a question: “What did Moses say in the law about divorce?”“Well, he permitted it,” they replied. “He said a man can give his wife a written notice of divorce and send her away.”But Jesus responded, “He wrote this commandment only as a concession to your hard hearts. But ‘God made them male and female' from the beginning of creation. ‘This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.' Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together.”The 5 Love Languages: The point is to choose to speak your spouse's language!Words of affirmation: Physical touch: Acts of service:Gift giving: Quality time:The Ultimate AnalogyThe ultimate analogy for love is how Christ loves his church. He gave up his life for his “bride” even though he didn't feel like it. Ephesians...

What's Driving You?Are You Being Driven by FEELINGS or VALUES? - Matthew KellyGet Matthew's 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribeVideo Transcript:“What is directing your life? What directs your actions?Our feelings shouldn't direct our actions or our lives. Our actions should be driven by our hopes, values, and aspirations; above all, they should be driven by our essential purpose. People who are driven by feelings are dangerous. They are undisciplined, inconsistent, and unreliable. But people who are driven by their values and a clear understanding of their essential purpose are to be treasured. They are disciplined, consistent, and reliable.So, if you want to be surrounded by people who are inconsistent and unreliable, choose your friends, your colleagues, your employees, and your significant other on the basis of feelings. But if you want to be surrounded by people who are consistent and reliable, choose friends, colleagues, employees, and a significant other who live value-driven lives—they will help you become the-best-version-of-yourself.Life is about love, and love is a choice, not a feeling. Feelings come and go, and if we choose to base our most important relationships on how we feel at any particular moment, we are in for a rough and rocky journey. Love is a verb, not a noun. So today… choose love.”If you have not read LIFE IS MESSY, order your copy today: https://amzn.to/2TTgZKn Subscribe to Matthew's YouTube Channel today! https://www.youtube.com/c/MatthewKellyAuthor/featured?sub_confirmation=1https://www.matthewkelly.comGet Matthew's 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe The Best Version of Yourself and 60 Second Wisdom are registered trademarks.#MatthewKelly #BestVersionOfYourself #BestVersion #ThoughtLeader #holymoment #holymoments

Elvis was wrong. We can help falling in love. Love is a choice. Jesus instructs the disciples, and us, to love one another. In fact, he says that the world will know we are His disciples in the way we love one another, something we've fallen far short of.

John 13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

Love Is a ChoiceBy Tammy Lacock In this week's podcast, Warren Litzman continues detailing Paul's deepening commitment to Christ and the “excellency of the knowledge” of Christ who now lives in him. He explains that Paul's commitment was at a level of kenosis, the emptying of himself for Christ. If by “suffering the loss of all things” he will win Christ, then by all means, whoever he thought he was before coming to Christ means nothing. He counted it but dung. Nothing else mattered but knowing Christ, the Christ who lived in him. It's in this personal relationship with Christ where Paul deepened his commitment, his love affair with Him. Paul tells us throughout these few verses in Philippians 3: 7-13 just what he did in this commitment. By the help of the Holy Spirit, he had a radical mind change, and then the mind of Christ was at his disposal. It is here, in the mind, he says, where we make a choice to “suffer the loss of all things to win Christ,” to know him and the power of His resurrection, to fellowship in His suffering, to die with Him, and to love Him. It's a choice and he's made up his mind to love Him and do whatever He needs to do to deepen his love affair with Him. In fact, in verses 12 and 13, Paul tells us that although he's already perfect in his spirit, where Christ resides, he continues to be made perfect in his soul, in his mind and heart. It's here where he's continually growing and deepening his love affair with Christ. In a world where humanity is now focused on what God can do for us, Paul reminds us to focus on what God is doing within us. He reminds us that we must empty ourselves completely (kenosis), letting go of who we think we are, our old identities, so that we can deeply commit to Christ who now lives in us. Let Christ be our new identity, our new life. Paul knew that all it takes for salvation is believing in Christ as his Savior. He didn't have to do anything more. Yet, in his revelation of Christ living in him, he couldn't help but want to know Him more. He couldn't help but to commit to Him. He couldn't help but to love Him. He chose to keep his mind and his heart open to the Holy Spirit whose sole mission is to reveal Christ in us. Committing to Christ is a choice. Loving Christ is a choice. God initiated the love affair by giving His only Son to us … now it's our turn to accept His gift and to choose to love Him in return. How far will we go to know Him and to Love Him more? Will we “suffer the loss of all things”? Will we fellowship in His sufferings? Will we empty ourselves? Will we die and be buried with Him so that we will know Him and the power of His resurrection, His very Life within us? Will you make that choice?
