    Christmas Isn't Only For the Merry & Bright: An Advent Reflection

    Christmas Isn't Only For the Merry & Bright: An Advent Reflection

    During the Christmas season, we are surrounded by all the loveliness and sparkle we can imagine. Everything seems to shimmer and sparkle with the twinkle of lights and colorful decoration.



    But what happens when we ourselves do not feel merry and bright? What happens when we can't seem to get in the Christmas spirit? We can feel like Christmas isn't even meant for me this year.



    We may decorate like Christmas is for the holly and jolly, but in truth, Christmas came for those in the dark, for those surrounded by darkness hoping for the Light of hope and freedom of deliverance.



    Wherever your spirit is this Christmas season, we hope this reflection encourages and comforts you as you remember Christmas isn't just for those who are merry and bright. Christmas is meant for us all who are finding our way in the darkness believing in the hope and the fulfillment of the Light of the World.

    Identifying Our Secret Codes of Perfectionism

    Identifying Our Secret Codes of Perfectionism

    We all know that perfectionism is not possible, yet so many of us keep striving and reaching for that brass ring.  We mask our attempts at perfection with secret codes like "I know I can't be perfect, I just want to do my best" or "I know perfection isn't possible, I just like to be really productive."  These secret codes lead us to attach our worth to our production and performance and we end up ever striving rather than living from the truth that we are loved and worthy.  In today's episode, Mazi shares how 40 ounces of water and her own journey through IVF led her face to face with the damaging impact of her secret code perfectionism and how we all can find peace and freedom.

    As we continue to live through a global pandemic, many of us are experiencing a lot of feelings, maybe even more than we normally do.  And probably these feelings are intense and quickly changing.  Why are we feeling so much and so intensely right now?  What purpose do feelings serve in our lives?  Are some feelings unhealthy or unchristian?  How do we learn to acknowledge our feelings and respond productively to stressful situations.  Join in this episode as Mazi answers these questions, as well as looks at why emotion, and letting ourselves experience all our emotions, leads to a fuller, richer life.

    Easter Episode: Surviving The Middle

    Easter Episode: Surviving The Middle

    As we move into Easter weekend, we wanted to give you a special episode to help prepare your heart for the hope of Easter.  The three days of Easter weekend represent the cycle we live in throughout our lives- there is the unthinkable loss/tragedy of Friday, followed by the questions, grief, despair of Saturday, and then the redemption/healing of Sunday. It seems like we spend a lot of our time in Saturday, in The Middle. The Middle is the in between.  It is after the crisis but before the new chapter. The Middle comes after the tragedy but before the triumph. In today's episode, Mazi talks about how to live in The Middle, the spiritual wrestling that often comes with this season, and how to find comfort and hope in the assurance of a redemptive Sunday.
