"I FEEL LOVED WHEN..." The Podcast for People Who Interact with People Cosmo & Suzi Raines, Soul Anchoring Ministries

Do you treat relationships as transactional – using people for your own gain and self-satisfaction?
Are you eager to be in the relationship as long as it’s fun and easy and comfortable for you? In this episode, we hear briefly from Carmen Schober (@carmen_schober_writes) and then Nick Freitas (@nickjfreitas) takes the wheel and shares about living in loyal commitment to his wife. His words of commitment "no matter what" and “her and I against the world” flies in the face of the cheap artificiality of today’s dating scene. 

“Nothing is more shallow than a life that is exclusively lived for oneself.” - Nick Freitas   

Deuteronomy 31:6

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Have you designed your life to avoid being with yourself?
That is, do you intentionally take time to just be alone with yourself? No external input, no distractions so you can uncover what it is that makes you feel loved, feel alive, feel purposeful? If so, what’s it like for you? If not, why not? In this episode, we hear from Julien Blanc (@julienhimself) how difficult this practice can be, and yet how significant and valuable it is. It allows you to process what bubbles to the surface and actually become the person you were created to be – separating the external noise from the internal realities and pursue transformation .  

“Most people design their lives to forever avoid being with themselves.” - Julien Blanc  

Philippians 4: 19…And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

Are you ready to go on a treasure hunt in your very own life?
In this episode, we learn from Dr. Daniel Amen (@doc_amen) how to intentionally replay your day as you get ready to fall asleep, specifically looking for what went well. Similar to gratitude, this practice actually makes things more concrete so it’s easier to think of the specific things you are grateful for. We go on to discuss how you can super-charge your gratitude by specifically thanking God for the things you are grateful for. 

We also explore the practice of reframing potentially negative situations in a positive light as well as using this tool in the night when anxiety is preventing sleep. It can refocus your mind on reality, not the things that are out of your control in that moment. 

Philippians 4:4-9…Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Have you ever experienced a betrayal that you allowed to fester into bitterness? Betrayal is the external thing someone else does to you, but bitterness is the internal thing you do to yourself.
In today’s episode, we listen to a clip from Pastor Vlad Savchuk (@vladhungrygen) about betrayal vs. bitterness. Cosmo shares a personal story of betrayal and bitterness and how God revealed this distinction to him in a very impactful way that allowed him to forgive his betrayer – even without repentance. We also explore how a healed wound’s scar can be a stone of remembrance of God’s faithfulness.  

Matthew 11:28-30…“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Go to Jesus with your wounds to be healed.

E17 True or False? When you meet the right person, you’ll just know... 
There will be a chorus of angels, arrows flashing, and a bright light emanating from them… If only!!

FALSE!!

We lived the opposite of this one! Not only did we have no interest in each other when we first met, it took us 5 years to “just know!” 

This is the fifth episode in our myth-busting series where we break down the difference between the world's attitude and expectations of relationships versus the Soul-Anchored view.

In this episode, we bust the myth that when you meet the person you are supposed to marry, you’ll just know.   

The reality is, you might not even like or be attracted to them at first! Furthermore, you might not BE the right person for them at first. In other words, the chemistry might take time because lasting, bonding chemistry is formed through internal character qualities - loyalty, joy, hope.

We’ll share two stories of love NOT at first sight – our own and that of a couple of friends of ours. We share how initial disinterest led to interest as we took the time to be interested in them as well as being interesting to them as you live a life in God’s grand adventure. 

Have you believed this relationship myth - consciously or subconsciously? What can you do to make sure you've busted it in your mind so it doesn't creep into your relationships?

E16 True or False? You’ll Only Ever Be Halfway Happy 
FALSE!!

We’ve heard it a million times – “If you want a good relationship, it’s all about compromise.” We strongly disagree! Through commitment, communication, and genuine understanding, we think you can be full-on happy! 

This is the fourth episode in our myth-busting series where we break down the difference between the world's attitude and expectations of relationships versus the Soul-Anchored view.

In this episode, we bust the myth that you should just get used to being only ever halfway happy. We find this often happens when we have the wrong view of what conflict is for and therefore approach it from the viewpoint that it is all about someone winning and someone else losing. 

We broke this concept down in great detail in this episode. 

“Relationships are all about compromise” – or are they? We believe they’re about understanding the other’s perspective, why things make them feel loved / understood, and wanting to work with them to a mutually beneficial solution. 

Following the example of Christ, we can find true solutions to this world’s problems, resulting in peace, unity, and joy.

Have you believed this relationship myth - consciously or subconsciously? What can you do to make sure you've busted it in your mind so it doesn't creep into your relationships?
