Last week we talked about what brings you peace. We ended the show by talking about the opportunity we have to BE a peacemaker to others. Tonight, we will talk about what NOT to do, and what TO do to bring peace to others. Mind you, we're not talking about peace in a mediation frame of mind. We're referring to the act of bringing peace, a sense of calm to another. Who...not what, if anyone, brings...

What brings you peace? There is very little peace being offered around our world these days. There is very little relief that comes naturally so we need to find peace...somewhere. Where do you find it...or do you? The alternative is that you get all balled up and full of anxiety/angst. This is very real and doesn't happen all at once. If this is you I hope some people's answers here brings you pea...

You're stuck. You're in the middle of a huge project and it looks insurmountable. You are pretty sure that you can get it done...pretty sure. However, you're not positive. At this exact moment, your good friend texts you and says, "C'mon, you know you got this! You were made to crush challenges like this!" How does this find you? Does it push you over the top and get you to finish line? Does it ma...

When you are hurt the only way to heal is through comfort. Almost all of the options listed in our "poll" the other day are ways you can deal with hurts. However, they don't help you heal from the hurts. The only thing that does that is comfort. Having someone join you in your pain so that you will remember them loving you when you remember the painful hurt. Comfort has been attached to grief. How...

Why do you suppose it is so hard to meet the need of attention with someone who needs it so badly? Do you struggle with someone (or someone's) who are always seeking attention? Sure, the answer is to give them attention when they aren't outwardly demonstrating the need for it, but that doesn't come easy or ever seem to satisfy. So then, what is one to do?

Affection is the physical and/or verbal expression that one is loved. Like every emotional need, some people need and enjoy it while others do not. However, even if you need it, how it's met matters as well. Some folks prefer a hug while others a simple, "I love you" will suffice. Others like a quiet note left expressing how much one means to them while another wants to hold hands any time they ar...

Tonight begins a new series of podcast for us here at the table. We will begin to go over the emotional needs in a more in depth fashion. We will begin this evening with Appreciation. Being noticed and loved for the things you've done or for who you are. How does this apply to you? How and where do you like to be appreciated?

School is starting!!!...kind of. I mean, there will be school, and some kids will be going but it isn't how it's supposed to be. Jay's son Joe is a senior. This is no way to start a senior year. But hey, at least it's not what the seniors went through last year right? Wrong. You see, your story is your story. His (and their) disappointment is his (and theirs). Too often we minimize what we're goin...
