Summary
Addiction runs rampant... for most of us. Myself included.
Especially when we're facing tough things: anxiety, pain, loneliness, vulnerability, identity, significance.
During a stressful time we are trying to avoid the pain...
so we move towards the pleasure of distraction, entertainment, alcohol, gossip, food, video games, cigarettes...
God has specific insight into what to do on a consistent basis to bring us to PEACE.
Specifically, I'm thinking about this scripture...
Psalms 37:7 "Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him".
That makes me what to squirm and run away and pretend I didn't read it and that it's not in the Bible.
If I'm really honest my response is
- "but I'm too important to wait" or
- "there's too much to do to wait" or
- "waiting is not going to help anything"
Waiting feels like facing the tiger that's chasing me. The truth is when I wait, when I'm patient, when I am still... I discover over and over again that it's a paper tiger.
Is meditation new age / non-Christian? I talk about that... and how to ensure your meditation is Christian.
I share what I do to be still and be present in intimacy and OUTside the bedroom to impact my pleasure in intimacy.
Also, when "Receiving" in intimacy is too hard, there are other ways that are easier at times and bring us together in beautiful ways.
A few resources I mentioned:
The Craving Mind by Judson Brewer MD, PhD
International House of Prayer - 24-hr worship streamed online
Live a Life Worthy of Your Calling (the song starts at 1:18:15)

| 0:40.3 | I don't take it lightly that you spend half an hour, 45 minutes, an hour of your time with me each week. So thank you. |
| 0:49.1 | What I want to talk about today is something that I'm processing through. And sometimes I record podcasts that are a little bit more about my own growth because hopefully there are people out there that need |
| 0:58.1 | this kind of growth too. And if there are not, then it's a very selfish podcast. And so it's |
| 1:04.8 | for me and not for you. So apologies on that. But hopefully you'll find some other episodes that are |
| 1:10.6 | more for you. |
| 1:11.8 | I do think, though, that this is going to help you because I have a hunch that this is |
| 1:17.6 | what a lot of us are going through. |
| 1:22.0 | And, you know, sometimes hearing somebody else's story and the way they're processing their |
| 1:27.0 | life can give us a |
| 1:31.2 | format, if that's the right word, or a way of possibly processing our own journey in our own |
| 1:40.2 | lives. So here's where I am. As many of you know, I love the personality test |
| 1:51.5 | strength finder. It's a little bit less of a personality test and more of a discerning your |
| 1:57.4 | specific gifts and talents that God has given you. |
| 2:03.0 | And so it gives you the top five and even the top 10 of 34. |
