Much of the suffering we see in the world is visible and we reach out to help but a good part of the suffering in the world is silent suffering. There are so many who suffer from emotional and psychological abuse that can go undetected that those who suffer may feel they have nowhere to turn. Coach Alicia Hall has taken her own experience of being a survivor of emotional and psychological abuse and come up with a formula to help those in a similar situation she was in to find healing and forgiveness. She is talking about that formula on the podcast today. We all have found ourselves in need of healing and extending forgiveness so even if you haven’t suffered from emotional or psychological abuse in a relationship, you will want to listen so that you can apply this formula in your life as well.

Owning a home is the American Dream. It's the ultimate symbol of a successful adulthood and the best way to build wealth in this country. Why should you pay rent to someone else when you can build equity for yourself, right? Not all countries prioritize buying a house, though; take Germany, where renting is much more common. How has the decision to prioritize homeownership in the US shaped our communities, for better or worse? And is that wealth-building mechanism really accessible to everyone who works hard and plays their cards right?
In this episode we'll talk about 2 Corinthians 8-13. We'll begin by talking about how there were groups of impoverished saints at that time, and Paul encouraged those who could to help as needed. Paul taught them to not only have good thoughts towards others, but to follow those thoughts with action. Sometimes, in our journey for emotional and spiritual improvement, we have great intentions but don't follow up with actual change. Paul teaches how we can do this. We'll also discuss the "thorn" Paul referred to, and how despite his prayers, the Lord did not remove it. We'll review how challenges can help us grow, and how we need to have faith in the Lord's plans for us.
