    Encouragement For Living Life - Episode #15 - Do You Hate Yourself? How To Know and What To Do

    Self hatred may be far more prevalent than most people can imagine. Bad attachments, physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, could lead to self-hatred. Is self- hatred shame by another name? We will talk about identifying if you are a person affected with self-hatred. And, of course, how to change from self-hatred to a healthy self-worth.  Disclaimer: The guys are here to encourage you in your attempt to live more confidently and successfully in our world.

    Porn usage is widespread. The last time I checked, approximately 50% of men who consider themselves Christian use porn regularly. We will look at the various reasons men and women use porn. We will explore why its use is so common. And also, if common, is it a good thing to do. Finally, stopping its usage is relatively simple for some people. But for others, it can be extremely hard to stop usage. We will look at what has to change in these cases to allow the person to stop.

    Encouragement For Living Life - Episode #13 - Can You Forgive Others?

    It is impossible to be in a relationship without being hurt by another person. It is also impossible to be in a relationship without hurting someone else. I recently told a good friend I would call him back the next day. He was recently diagnosed with leukemia. But I forgot. We are all human. The hurt can be small or it can be large. It's size that often has to do with how the other person takes the hurtful behavior. Without forgiveness we can not maintain good relationships. We may not even be able to maintain the relationship. It may end. We will look at the importance and the process of the function of forgiveness. Lastly, we will look at the difference between forgiveness and allowing hurtful behavior to continue.  Disclaimer: The guys are here to encourage you in your attempt to live more confidently and successfully in our world.
