Summary
Separating feelings from fact when it comes to love, plus what to do about stress, and coming to terms when something good didn’t happen.
I’m Stressed: A Path from Pressure to Peace (Ask the Christian Counselor)
Featured musical artist: Love and the Outcome
Roundtable: How Do I Know I Love Someone?
The feelings and excitement of being “in love” are celebrated everywhere from movies to music. But is love deeper than a mere feeling? Are feelings even an indicator that you actually love someone? Our guests get honest about how they’ve struggled with discerning the difference between love as a feeling and love as a choice. They’ll also explain love in the tough times and (yikes) loving the hard to love, including our enemies.
Culture: Stress Reduction (Part 1)
Stressors are all around us: bills to pay, work deadlines, sorting through friend and family dynamics, and news headlines galore. What effect is stress having on our brains and bodies, and how do we cope with the fallout? Licensed professional counselor Eliza Huie discusses how you can tackle stress and find peace through lifestyle, helpful practices, and active dependence on God. In part one of our conversation she addresses good vs. bad types of stress and how to recognize the repercussions of stress on our lives.
