Every day you are faced with a choice. As you experience different emotions, what will you do with them? How will you respond to them? You name them, but now what?  Whether we realize it or not, we are all doing something with our feelings - addressing them and growing through them, or ignoring them and letting them control us. But what if our emotions draw us closer to God and lead us to connecti...

There is a connection between your emotional health and your body. Just think about what you feel physically when you experience different emotions:  When you feel joy, where in your body do you feel it? When you feel sadness, how do you express it physically? When you feel fear or worry, how does your body respond?  Our bodies feel our emotions, they are connected. And often the feelings we are s...

What is your favorite memory from your childhood? What makes those memories good memories?  In this episode, Candace and Jennie are focusing on emotions and parenting. The truth is that we all need to know that we are seen, soothed, and safe in our emotions – especially kids. We aren’t alone in our emotions, and neither are our children. We get to be there for them emotionally, so does Jesus. Feel...

Two words can push emotions to a deeper place … “I feel.” Do you have community that you can safely share your emotions with? That you can vulnerably say … “I feel” without fear or shame?  Emotions are best healed in community – to be truly seen, soothed, safe, and not alone in pain heals you in ways you cannot believe unless you feel it. Candace and Jennie sit down to talk about friendship + how...

In this episode, they...

God gave us emotions but He doesn’t want our emotions to drive the train of our lives. If God’s will for your life is driving the train, your emotions and thoughts will follow. But if your emotions are driving the train, what happens?  In this episode, Candace and Jennie talk about what it looks like to submit your will to Jesus with your day-to-day emotions, taking hold of your emotions, halting...

What are some things in your day to day life that can pull you toward fear or worry? There are so many reasons or moments in throughout the day that can open the door to those emotions.   “Of course you feel that way” is comforting and validating to every emotion we experience, including fear and worry. We all experience fear and with the world around us, the things we see or read or experience, i...

Can you remember the first time you really felt a deep sense of sadness? Looking back on your younger self, what would you say to them now?  Sadness isn’t an emotion we always care to admit out loud or bring people into. But the truth is the Bible is full of characters dealing with dark and heavy circumstances; we see all kinds of people – including Jesus – feeling AND expressing their fear, lonel...

When we think of anger, we don’t often think of it as a God-given emotion … but it is. There’s nothing in scripture that says “Don’t get angry.” Instead, we are encouraged to be slow to anger. But what does it mean to be slow to anger?  In this week’s conversation, Candace and Jennie are digging into anger: what it is, why it is better to be honest about it rather than hide it, strategies that hav...

Now that we have laid the foundation for emotions, Candace and Jennie are going to tackle emotion by emotion over the next few weeks. First up?! JOY! Do you know the difference between joy and happiness? There is a difference, yet we tend to use those words interchangeably.  When was the last time you felt joy?  Are there things in your everyday life that bring you joy?  Do you ever feel guilty fo...

Are you an emotional person? Feelings are meant to be felt. Emotions are healthy + vulnerability is powerful! They are God-given, so they are GOOD.

When’s the last time you had a really good laugh? Do you find life funny? What are the ways laughter brings joy to your life?  Laughter may be difficult for some. Maybe you're facing a difficult situation, a chronic illness, or financial troubles. We face things in life that can get in the way of our joy. But when it gets tough, sometimes it helps to find humor in it! Plus, the Bible is full of co...

For Chris + Julie Bennett, they left their home and family in Oklahoma to follow God’s leading to build a life in California.

Mental health is the same as physical health – a bodily experience. That being said, we experience mental illness differently than physical illness because when it comes to our mental health, it challenges our identity. It’s healthy to have emotions and feel them because they’re part of our bodily experience. But how do we respond to them? How do we navigate them? How do we care for our minds well...
