Flourishing for a Lifetime

Every person has some story about something they started and couldn't stick with. For some it's trivial like a craft project or New Year’s Resolution. But for others of us we struggle to keep going in the hard stuff, like family. How do we persevere and keep loving our family when they are so stinking hard? How do we keep going in a relationship when a person has really hurt me? Or how do we persevere as a Christian when I’m faced with horrible suffering and God feels so far away?  If perseverance is hard in New Year’s resolutions what hope is there in the hard stuff? As Christians, how do we persevere and walk with God for a lifetime? Join Melissa as she sets up this season's interviews by walking through a passage in Hebrews encouraging us to hold fast in faith.  Resources mentioned: Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortlund [https://www.amazon.com/Gentle-Lowly-Christ-Sinners-Sufferers/dp/1433566133/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3TVGCHKK049P3&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Mp1-dInvWQu-aHPJzMZ-riWdnTBj_n68KmZwyCCWKBkrAY5Cb1GarZTaG0Xu1PY8B9E5V1v16-yWIuFQLSWCA64lqleyGu9NA9i-HH4MjdfBbLKnSIh1wkOj-oYwbzjQ_wGgrIrpbgxKgrEMPeoNqbleKKNgDNfGm1YuRmacSl7z3qkkKZY96tnjHoFuk1WKW8Cud2lWILzEvXeOMvyAZX73dKODtulsIKnu540-7pI.hI_GDMnBdT2lnuZ-C27CbDBMuqvtOJpETJFJ6uG0nVg&dib_tag=se&keywords=gentle+and+lowly+by+dane+ortlund&qid=1708745043&sprefix=gentle+and+low%2Caps%2C151&sr=8-1]   Email: flourishinginthemeantime@gmail.com [flourishinginthemeantime@gmail.com] Instagram: @flourishinginthemeantime Website: www.flourishinginthemeantime.com [http://www.flourishinginthemeantime.com/] Disclaimer: Kelsey and Leslie are Counseling Interns, however, the content provided by them on this podcast is not specific counseling advice and not a substitute for individual counseling.

Christ-Centered Christmas - Flourishing Through the Holidays Episode 4

For our final episode in our four-part series on Flourishing Through the Holidays, we tackle the topic of how to keep Christmas centered on Jesus. Sometimes it can feel like Christmas is merely synonymous with decorated trees, candy canes, and Amazon gift catalogs. How can we help our families remember and understand why we are celebrating Christmas without throwing out all the fun traditions? While also not being held hostage by cultural expectations of consumerism?
