    Boundaries with Elderly Parents

    You need support if you are caregiving for your elderly parents. One of the most important things is to understand how to set boundaries, whether you are in a healthy or dysfunctional family. Otherwise, it can be overwhelming and exhausting, especially when you are still caring for your children and managing your life's responsibilities.  It isn't easy to set boundaries when the needs and demands are never-ending. It's also confusing to know what boundaries are okay for Christians when you are considering the command to honor your parents. You are only one person, and you cannot do everything. How do you decide which priorities to give to all the things on your plate? Watch this video for caregiving support on setting boundaries with parents in both healthy and dysfunctional families. It will help you take care of yourself. Karla Downing's passion is to see individuals, marriages, and families set free from dysfunction, scriptural misunderstanding, and emotional pain personally and relationally. Her Christian relationship advice includes messages, books, and classes that provide practical solutions grounded in biblical truths, bringing balance and clarity to life and relationship issues. She also desires to equip ministry leaders and counselors to reach out more effectively to those struggling with difficult relationships, including abuse. #christianboundaries #caregivingsupport #caregiverwellbeing #dysfunctionalfamilies #elderlyparents  Website: https://www.changemyrelationship.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMyRelationship YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@changemyrelationship Watch this video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/js5zT28Z_N4

    My Physically Abusive Ex-Husband Ministered to Abused Women With Me: An Interview With Judi Noble

    In this interview, Judi Noble talks about her own physically and verbally abusive marriage during the 1960s. She compares how the church and society responded to abuse victims in the sixties with today, looking at whether there has been progress. Judi relays the story about how God led her to found Eagle's Wings Ministry and how her ex-husband, Jim, her prior abuser, ended up sharing her passion for reaching out to abuse victims and their abusers.    This interview demonstrates how God uses the things that happen to us for his glory and to encourage others. God has been faithful through the thirty years Judi has held firm to her calling. He is honoring Judi's vision in ways today that clearly show his promise to grow the seeds we plant.   The mission of Eagle's Wings Ministry is to bring hope and healing to survivors of domestic violence. They advocate, educate, and empower women and men to discover their true value and worth to break the cycle of abuse in their families. They provide physical, emotional, and spiritual support to those seeking freedom and restoration. Eagle's Wings also desires to train churches and their staff to identify abuse victims and respond to them in a way that offers support rather than harm.  #lovedoesnoharm #romans13:10 #Christianmarriageadvice #Christianrelationshipadvice #domesticviolencesurvivors #abusiverelationships #abusivemarriage #emotionalabuse #churchabuse    Resources Mentioned in the Podcast   Eagle's Wings Ministry: https://www.eagleswings-ministries.com/   Domestic Abuse Intervention Project (DAIP) wheels regarding abuse and healthy power and control: https://www.theduluthmodel.org/wheels/faqs-about-the-wheels/   "The Abusers' Love vs. Jesus' Love" Talk on YouTube: https://youtu.be/L8z24rPFN7k   "Love Does No Harm" book on Amazon (Paid Link):  https://amzn.to/4iyqKXq     Website: https://www.changemyrelationship.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMyRelationship YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@changemyrelationship Watch this video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/2eTP8jjEBP0

    Unhealthy Relationships: Why Some People Can't Self-Evaluate

    If you've been in unhealthy relationships, you've probably wondered why some people can't self-evaluate. They won't own what they've done. They won't listen to your concerns. They don't care if you are upset or hurt. This lack of self-awareness is not only frustrating but perplexing to healthy people, because when you are willing to look at yourself, you can't figure out why others aren't. Understanding why unhealthy people do what they do makes dealing with them easier. It changes the way you respond to their lack of insight. It helps you let go of useless attempts to get them to own their actions and take responsibility for them. It shifts your focus onto the things you can control. Watch this video to find out why unhealthy people can't self-evaluate. You will be glad you did because information is empowering. #selfevaluation #selfawareness #dysfunctional #unhealthyrelationships #toxicrelationships #unhealthypeople #christianrelationshipadvice Karla Downing's passion is to see individuals, marriages, and families set free from dysfunction, scriptural misunderstanding, and emotional pain personally and relationally.

    Scriptural Truths: Has God Promised You Won't Get More Than You Can Bear?

    It is important that as a Christian you understand scriptural truths. One of these is the teaching around the question: "Has God promised you won't get more than you can bear?" You share your burdens with a fellow Christian, pastor, or ministry leader, and you are told, "God won't give you more than you can bear." You know what they mean because you have heard it before. So what you tell yourself is: "Stop complaining, God gave it to you and expects you to be able to handle it. What's wrong with you?" But wait a minute. Could it be that this Bible verse is frequently used incorrectly? Could it be saying something completely different?  Watch this video to learn the scriptural truth about whether 1 Corinthians 10:13 means that God has promised you won't get more than you can bear.  Karla Downing's passion is to see individuals, marriages, and families set free from dysfunction, scriptural misunderstanding, and emotional pain personally and relationally.
