  • Episode # 012 Dreamer’s seemingly Unending Physical, Emotional, and Mental Painful Encounters.
    Feb 22 2024

    We Share a Practical Example of a Dreamer’s seemingly Unending Physical, Emotional, and Mental Painful Encounters. However, through His Perseverance, humility, and Unwavering Integrity, His dream Came to Realization.
    The Biblical Example of Joseph, "The Dreamer."     
    Dreams and aspirations are almost always hard to achieve due to the terrain across valleys and the difficult seasons of one's life. The valley journey is often through hunger, failure, disappointment, depression, loneliness, and pain. However, life dreams, childhood imaginations, aspirations, work, and ministry become valuable, desirable, breakthrough, and sought-after entities and reality in the valley. " 

    The biblical Joseph's journey to realizing his dreams is a perfect example of an individual dreamer's encounters and experiences on the way to dream realization. To some, the dreamer's challenges began very early on in life. Like Joseph, right from birth, Rachael, Joseph's birth mother, experienced delayed childbirth, defiling all efforts. Dealing with the rivals of the three other wives of Jacob, who have given birth multiple times, Rachael, in her frustration and deep sorrow, Rachael said to her husband Jacob, "Give me children or else I die." Joseph's challenges or obstacles began with: 
    Bereavement, Hatred, Envy, Violence, Conspiracy, Betrayal, Sadism, Deception, and More.
    Integrity is a virtue that cannot be ignored, the backdrop of honesty, dignity, compassion, trust, and fairness.

  • Episode # 0010 YOUR VALLEY SEASON IS YOUR GROWTH SEASON!
    Feb 3 2024

    Eleanor Roosevelt wrote, “People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.”
     Write sets of values you plan to live with.
    I must go on boasting…But He said, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is 
    made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For Christ's sake, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, I am strong” (2 Corinthians 12:1-10).
    God wanted you to understand a mystery about Him; weakness is God’s raw material for glory; pain is His raw material for gain; the cross is His raw material for the crown; and the valley phase of life is the raw material for the value phase. Your life, dreams, work, and ministry are turned into valuable, desirable, sought-after entities/reality in the valley, i.e. (the difficult seasons of your life). Some people missed these mysteries by giving up too soon, and others  sadly entertained thoughts of suicide and would have stopped their dreams from coming to fruition. The journey through the valley is often through hunger, failure, disappointment, depression, loneliness, and pain. It does not always make sense; God’s achievement process is often paradoxical; knowing that no valley experience is a waste with God is expedient. It seemed that God’s educational systems and His universities are set up in the valleys 
    (low seasons of life), while in the mountains, we celebrate breakthroughs and graduation
    ceremonies.

  • Episode #009 YOUR LIFE MATTERS TO GOD
    Feb 3 2024

    Although we may feel that we don’t matter to anyone in this world, as God’s 
    children, we matter deeply to God. There are numerous of evidence that demonstrates 
    His care for us.

    Five Ways God Demonstrates His Love and 
    Care for Humanity

    1. “See what kind of love the Father has given us, that we should be called 
    children of God; and so, we are. The reason why the world does not know us is 
    that it did not know him. We all understand parents' special love for their children, 
    yet this is only a shadow of God's great love and care for us as His children. He 
    has showered us with spiritual blessings and promises; nothing can separate us 
    from Him.  We all understand parents' 
    special love for their children, yet this is only a shadow of God's great love and 
    care for us as His children. He has showered us with spiritual blessings and 
    promises; nothing can separate us from Him.” (1 John 3:1-2).
    “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in 
    Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 4:19).

    QUESTIONS:
    1) Do you ever feel you don’t matter to God? What circumstantial evidence 
    supports this feeling? What truths of Scripture prove His love for you?
    2) How has knowing you matter to God motivated you to live for Him 
    rather than yourself?

  • Episode #008 Dealing With Regret and Guilt
    Feb 3 2024

    When someone whom we love dies, it is expected to feel some regret 
    and guilt. You may recall things you did, said, failed to do, or said. Events that 
    might ordinarily have seemed trivial may take on a new meaning in the light of 
    what has happened. Over time, most people find ways to resolve these emotions. 
    However, guilt and regret can sometimes get stuck, as though they keep looping on 
    a circuit. This can be very distressing and can get in the way of grieving healthily. 
    If you are feeling guilt or regret, here are some things that you might try:
     Write down your regrets.
     See if you can bring to mind a compassionate and warm outlook. We 
    all have regrets and make mistakes, but that’s not the whole story of you and your 
    loved one. See if you can take a broader perspective and offer yourself some 
    kindness like you would to a dear friend.

  • Episode #007 Psychological and Medical Treatments for Grief
    Feb 3 2024

    Psychological and Medical Treatments for Grief
    The Reality of The Grievers Post Traumatic Experiences
    Losing a significant other or close relation is extremely painful. Grieving 
    takes time and is different for everyone. However, creating a new and fulfilling life 
    is possible while cherishing the memories of a loved one or an individual's 
    relationship.
    If you or someone close is struggling to overcome loss, encouraging 
    individuals to speak to someone about prolonged feelings may be helpful. Many 
    people find bereavement counseling useful, so find a specialist counselor.
    The psychology tools and professional problems asserted that for individuals 
    struggling with symptoms of prolonged grief or trauma, specific psychological 
    interventions are recommended for these conditions. Long grief may lead to post-
    traumatic stress disorder in PTSD. 
    Grievers who have prolonged stress reactions that do not go away on their 
    own after an extended period get worse esteem reactions over time. Be careful to 
    identify and avoid particular triggers, places, or situations that often make grievers relive the trauma event. PTSD is not limited to the military, police, or war 
    veterans; PTSD affects anyone who has experienced or witnessed traumatic or life-
    threatening situations such as childhood sexual or physical abuse, assaults of all 
    kinds, terrorist or kidnapping attacks, natural disasters such as hurricanes, and 
    crippling accidents.

    Topics Include Tips to:
    Constructive Grieving, Rituals, and Customs, Express your Grief, Make A Memory Box,
    Telling Your Grief Story,  Avoid Unhealthy Coping Mechanism, Telling The Story of Your Loved One’s Life and Your Life Together,  Write A Letter to Your One, and Tips  to Getting In Touch with Parts of Your Grief,

  • Episode #006 Effect of Grief, Depression, and the Importance of Self-Care/Management
    Jan 25 2024

    Grief often feels like it comes in waves that can initially feel intense and overwhelming. These waves of grief can feel like they come out of nowhere or can be triggered when reminded of the loss of an individual. The first memory of losing a loved one can feel as though enormous waves of grief are constantly hitting and seem unending, sometimes so close together, and struggle to come up for air between them. 
    However, with time, the size of the waves tends to lessen, with more significant gaps between waves. As the weeks, months, and years pass, you experience many ‘firsts’ as you navigate life without your loved one – your first dinner out, your first supermarket trip, your first birthday without them. In each of these moments, it will be natural to feel their absence and for waves of grief to be triggered again.
    Topics Include:
    Loss of Significant Other or (divorce).  
    Do Not Be Too Hard on Yourself.
     The Benefits of Taking Good Physical and Mental Care of Health Following Bereavement. 
    A few Suggestions for Coping with Grief, Pain, and Sorrow.
     Where To Find Resources for Mental Health Support.
