An attitude change isn't easy, because we're stuck in our ways.  Don't let this year end without reaching out to someone you are at odds with.  It doesn't matter who is at fault, it does matter that you resolve the issues.  Doing so will lift the burden from your heart.

Christmas morning, and you're anticipating another wonderful Christmas Day.  No need to check under the tree for any other gifts, check with God to make sure that your light shines in others.  Today, give the gift of prayer.  Merry Christmas.

Remember, the most important gift you can give, is the gift of eternal salvation, through Jesus Christ.  The stores will be swamped with last minute shoppers.  You don't need a store for this special gift.  

Remember, you are the light pointing the recipient to Jesus.  On that gift tag, let them know there is a little more that comes with this present.

You are at odds with someone you know, maybe a family member or friend.  Prayer is the perfect way to turn that around.  Why?  Because asking God to help heal the wounds of life, will always be a blessing...and the perfect gift.

Wrong size, wrong color, never use it, what were you thinking?!  Here's a suggestion;  the gift pf prayerr is always the perfect gift, because it speaks directly to the person you're giving it to.  

Your attitude has a lot to do with how your child sees and responds to your direction.  Check your attitude before you speak.

Kids like to please their parents.  Does that surprise you?  They are listening, but are you sending the right message?

In this episode of the Living Well podcast, Liv Hill and Megan Argueta delve into the importance of asking for help, exploring personal stories of independence and the struggles that come with it. They discuss how societal views on mental health and therapy have evolved, emphasizing that seeking help is a sign of strength rather than weakness. The conversation also touches on the spiritual aspects of seeking assistance and the importance of teaching the next generation about the value of community support. They conclude by discussing marriage counseling as a proactive tool for growth rather than a last resort. In this conversation, Megan Argueta and Liv discuss the importance of understanding spousal needs, effective communication in relationships, and the significance of seeking help when facing challenges. They emphasize the role of pride in preventing individuals from asking for assistance and the transformative power of support in personal and spiritual growth. The discussion also touches on the journey of prodigals and the importance of acceptance within the church community.

You know, even God does not always respond with a resounding "yes" to each of your prayers.  He knows the boundaries and he knows when to make sure you've done what's necessary to walk with Him.  Before you say "yes" to the next request, talk to God, first.

Okay, it's not about you.  It's about what you expect from others.  And so many times, others will let you down.  Do your best to imitate the Lord God.  Your efforts will benefit someone.  It always will.  Look to God for affirmation.

Can you accept that your children will not always like you, and that's okay.  Kids who respect their parents go out into the world with a greater chance for success.  It's okay when they don't like.  It's not okay when they don't respect you.

This is especially important when working with our children.  Yes is an easy way out of having to deal with an issue.  No, means that boundaries have been set.  Without boundaries, children have a way of walking in the wrong direction.  No is okay.  Go ahead, try it.

Jenni and Daniel respond to a listener question from a mom with two Gen-Z kids who is wondering why her 20-something children don’t pursue relationships or sex. Jenni and Daniel unpack this conundrum as they explore factors such as screens, social media, cultural narratives, and, how intimacy has become commodified.

Wow, sharing your feelings can be tough.  It's not what you say, it's how you say it.  Don't ever get into a conversation without talking to God, first.  He will help craft the perfect set of words and emotions.

If "nice" is your only expression, you are missing "honesty".  God can help in those places where we are at a loss for words.  Speak to Him before you speak to someone else.

Is being nice, being meek?  No, it's not.  Nice comes from within and from God.  "My peace I give to you, not as the world gives, but as I give."  Nice is a great place to be.

In this episode, I discuss seven flaws of Attachment Style Theory as it pertains to marriage counseling.

Yes you can, with the help of God.  He is a constant source of hope and power.  Leaving God out of the conversation will keep you stuck in a place you'd rather not be.

You will and always will, belong to Jesus.  Jesus answers our need for purpose and belonging.  Have you responded to his invitation?

Instead of longing for what is out of bounds, make yourself focus on what God has provided, and be thankful.  Remember, God has a plan designed especially for you.

Simply, ask God to create in you, a longing for the righteousness of Jesus.  This is the foundation for you to be in a loving, caring relationship with God.  

It's as simple as allowing the word of God to set your course.  Remember, he designed a plan for your life.  If we listen, we'll hear it.

What do you do when intimacy and connection in your marriage start to fade? How can you rekindle the spark, or better yet, keep it burning strong? In this episode, we talk about practical and biblical ways to nurture intimacy in all its forms. When you intentionally protect and prioritize closeness with your spouse, you not only build a marriage you truly enjoy, but you also guard your relationship against the dangers of emotional affairs.   Episode Highlights: Identify the different types of intimacy shared within marriage. The wholeness of your marriage matters. All forms of intimacy must be invested in. Boundaries keep your marriage protected.    Quotes from this episode: Your sex life is a thermometer, not a thermostat—it reflects the health of your relationship, but it can't set it.   When couples neglect emotional and spiritual intimacy, their physical relationship becomes hollow—a beautiful house with no foundation. Sooner or later, the cracks will show.   Without emotional intimacy, sex loses its power to truly bond you together. Without spiritual intimacy, you miss God's vision for marriage—a reflection of Christ and the Church.   If you wouldn't say, do, or share it with your spouse present, don't do it. That's your boundary—protect it fiercely.   If you have nothing to hide, living transparently should be easy—openness is the glue of trust in marriage.   Couple's Conversation Guide: When you think about intimacy in your marriage, which type (physical, emotional, spiritual, or relational closeness) feels the strongest right now? Which could use more attention? How do you personally feel most connected to me—through words, actions, time together, or something else? What boundaries do we need to set (personally and as a couple) to guard our marriage against the threat of emotional affairs? What's one thing you'd love for us to do together that would bring more joy, fun, or connection into our marriage? Mentioned in this Episode: Awesome Marriage is on Instagram!
