No matter how old you are, navigating your parent’s divorce is not easy. On In The Market with Janet Parshall week we spoke our favorite expert on marriage and family matters who helped us understand the challenges of being an adult child of divorced parents including some of the most common reasons for divorce, the ways it leaves a lasting impact on your life and how to lean of God to get you through this family altering experience. Emotions are not all they are cracked up to be. For all the wonderful good they bring to our lives they also can create stress, self-doubt and uncertainty. But what if there was a way to better manage our emotions based in both science and God’s word? Our guest helped us understand why we were given emotions, explained an emotion management model that we can use and shared how to use that model to not only handle our emotions better but to draw closer to God in process. Whether you call them a deceiver, a “gaslighter” or a master manipulator, the impact of a toxic person in your life can be devastating. But we spoke to respected expert on mental health and well being to get a better understanding of what a toxic person is, what leads to this sort of behavior and how to lean on your own discernment with the Lord’s guidance to help you navigate this most challenging of personality types. Much of the “well-being” advice we hear today is self-focused and self-driven and while it sounds good to us at first blush the practical reality is that it fails because it ignores God. This is especially true with the claims of progressive Christianity flooding many of the churches in America today. Our guest, a respected apologist, addressed stripped away the veneer of these teachings to reveal not only their inadequacy but to emphasize the power of God’s truth and the importance of finding our value and life purpose in His plans for us. As we close out another week turn our attention to more of the news making headlines this week and put it under the magnifying truth of God’s word. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
