Season 1- Ep 8 Are Boundaries Loving?
In this episode, Sandra and Shandia share contrasting views on the idea of Biblical boundaries and what those look like in the context of relationships. Here we explore what it means to acknowledge our human limitations as finite beings, how to apply the principle of counting others as more important than self (Philippians 1:2-3). We challenge people to veer away from a semi-narcissistic worldview about what is self-serving to consider love, wisdom, managing expectations, while acknowledging human limitations when setting and maintaining a healthy framework in any relationship.
“Sometimes, our best attempts at loving are met with habitual thoughtlessness, insatiable need, unkindness, anger, indifference, or a lack of mutuality. It’s in these relationships that boundaries begin to sound like a good idea. But God’s Word doesn’t move from the command to love to a psychological category like boundaries. Instead, it presses us to think about what it looks like to love a difficult person. Godly love confronts evil, perseveres, and forgives. It doesn’t interfere with God’s pattern of sowing and reaping. It is willing to risk the other person’s displeasure by forsaking, pleasing, placating, and pretending. It doesn’t do for others what they can do for themselves when it enables laziness, entitlement, and self-absorption. It rescues people from their foolishness, as Abigail’s gift to David rescued both him and Nabal” (Brenda Pauken, 2021).

Season 1: Ep. 6 What is "salvation"?
You have often heard us saying that “if you haven't accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour now is a good time,” but what does that mean? In this episode we dig a little deeper into what salvation is, why we all need it, and what it means to be saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9). You may love Jesus, but is He Lord of your life?

Season 1: Ep: 5 Jesus & Therapy
Therapy without the creator, Jesus, may work for the short term but in tandem can bring great healing and full restoration in your life. We often hear the rhetoric that therapy is intended to treat psychosis, those with mental health diagnosis, and or addiction, and while therapy is certainly the course of treatment for all these things. Therapy is also beneficial in self-discovery, healing from trauma, learning or unlearning healthy boundaries principles, developing or growing in intimacy with Christ, connecting with others, for couples to rediscover one another and rebuild intimacy, families to heal through a sickness, illness, loss, or even just to develop a closer bond with one another. Therapy is all encompassing and finding the right therapist/licenced counselor is a decision to be made prayerfully. Whatever you’re hoping to improve in, there is a therapist for you.

Season 1: Ep 3- Why it's called "Good Friday"
We celebrate on Good Friday because Christ's death was a sacrifice so that we could receive the gift of eternal life (John 3:16). The Bible tells us that Jesus bore our sins, shame, and burden on the cross. The results changed the course of humanity and what was meant for evil through a criminal's death, God meant for good (Bible Study Tools, 2024)
