How to Resolve Conflict in a Godly Way - 4 Principles from 1 Corinthians 13

Woooo, girl!!! Do you ever have a heated debate with someone close to you? If you’re passionate like me, have strong convictions, or just tend to “react” and you’re not careful, you can potentially damage a relationship. GOOD NEWS: you don’t have to though! Today I am talking about 4 principles you can apply from 1 Corinthians 13:4–7 which goes like this: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” What???! How can we apply this to our conflict, Cara? I know, I know...but using these principles will help you not only gain perspective but will help foster godly love between you and the other person. Keep in mind, they may not fight fair and that’s okay-you are only responsible for your OWN actions. Thanks for listening to this short episode today!

LIVE: A Christian Parenting Approach To Raising Strong Teens

Are you a Christian parent navigating teen, pre-teen or adolescent behaviors? Do you use boundaries with your kids? What do you do when the issues our children are facing in their world and around their peers, how to help. I’ve had the unfortunate experience of finding out a child is harming themselves...in fact in a way I was once that teen. As a foster mom, I had a lot of tough experiences-things I had originally stated I would never tolerate and wouldn’t keep a child in my home because I didn’t feel equipped for this. Well...God calls and then He equips, doesn’t He? This one is a REALLY tough topic today and I wanted to go live because I think it needs to be discussed and prayed about. Our children are being attacked and we need to help protect and give them the right tools and the armor of God. Let’s do this!!!

The key to finding PURPOSE in your identity. Are YOU Searching for Your Purpose or God’s Calling on Your Life?

Are YOU Searching for Your Purpose? How will you know if you’re walking in God’s purpose and plan for your life? Are you listening to the lies that you’ve failed or screwed up God’s calling on your life? What we believe about who WE are has a HUGE impact on how our purpose is lived out. Ask yourself these questions (write them down): What makes you, you? How do you know God has a purpose for your life? “Once God has placed a calling on your life – something you know without a shadow of a doubt that He wants you to do, a task that you were specially created to complete – keep your eyes on Him and not that thing.” David Ramos One more question I’m going to ask... Are you doing God a service or are you serving God? I hope you get out a notepad and write some of these things down! Join me on this journey in becoming the best version of me-in finding your full potential and purpose as a child of the most high! Some verses to go along with the episode today: Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Proverbs 19:21 “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.” Ecclesiastes 3:1 “there is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens.” Proverbs 20:5 says “The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out.” Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Ephesians 2:10 “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Don’t forget to subscribe and leave me a review if you like my show!
