When we get to the end of ourselves, we are at the start of Himself! Jesus is the bread, broken for us, that is distributed to us. 

Listen in to our Pastor Steve Troyer who brings us todays message. 

Josh is a grateful sex addict working his recovery.  He has been sober since June 19, 2014.  He found recovery in the synergistic relationship between therapy and 12 steps.  As well as the grace and forgiveness he received from his wife and his God.  He started attending SA for 2 years and then was introduced to SAL and has been attending SAL 12 Step for over 7 years.  As part of his recovery journey he felt called by God to share his experience, strength and hope.  He did so in group meetings, church  as a sponsor, but felt God's call for more.  As a result he went back to school
and left a career of 15 years in pursuit of becoming a Clinical Mental Health
Counselor (CMHC).  He is now working at the clinic where he started his recovery journey (Circles of Grace/formerly LifeStar in Salt Lake City).

Reco12 is an organization with the mission of learning and sharing the similarities of addiction of all kinds and gaining and sharing tools and hope from others who are walking a similar path.  We come together from all places, faiths and backgrounds to gain tools and hope from others who are walking a similar path.

I'm excited to have author, speaker, health coach, and friend Christine Trimpe join me again.  She's known as the 'joy girl' as she's learned to seek joy no matter what challenge she's facing!

And Christine's faced several challenges! You might remember Christine from episode 53: An Invitation to Sit at His Table. In that episode, she shared about her incredible weight loss transformation.  If you haven't already listened to it, I encourage you to check it out.

About the same time Christine was seeing great results with her weight loss journey, another challenge intersected her path.  Her son, Kyle, was involved in a catastrophic car accident, which significantly impacted his life.

Because their insurance company repeatedly denied Kyle's treatments and therapies claims, a court battle followed. Christine leaned hard on God when the challenges weighed heavy on her, seeking God's strength and focusing on the joy in her life.

Psalm 27 and 37 were her 'go-to- verses, reminding her to not fret about the circumstances and to trust God. As she pondered these verses, she realized, "My job is to trust God. God's job is the outcome." WOW! What great wisdom!

To learn more about Christine, go to www.christinetrimpe.com. Her book, Seeking Joy through the Gospel of Luke: A Christmas to Calvary Advent Countdown, is available on Amazon. 

You may not be sitting in the belly of the whale, but it might feel like it. We have all found ourselves in situations that seem dark and hopeless. My guest, Pat Hail, Jr. and I are talking about those dark moments paralleled with the story of Jonah. Yep, that  story about a man who gets eaten by a fish and vomited back out. However, there is a lesson to be learned about the presence of God during times of struggle or during your own big fish moments. We chat about God’s faithfulness during hard times, how he is already preparing the way for us in those struggles, and how we can find joy and gratitude in our own hearts.

Exercising Love Muscles for Deeper Loving Relationships goes in stages. 

First Stage of Exercising Love Muscles

Pick something to love and grow deeper in love with on this adventure.

The first thing we are going to do is just imagine that one thing you are falling deeper in love with, simply hold it in your imagination. Secondly, you already know the reasons why you love this thing. As you hold it in your imagination you are going to slow things down. Lastly, just savor the reason or reasons why you love this thing in your mind.

If thoughts of fear come up or if thoughts that are not loving thoughts come up, simply say - you are not invited to this party. You can go away now. Simply refocus your mind back to all of the loving thoughts you have about this one thing. Hold those thoughts in your mind. It can be just one thought or many. Hold it there.

Being in flow is an important love muscle to use on a regular basis. It produces happiness even when we are doing a task that we may not like or enjoy. Being in flow is a mechanism that brings us more joy and happiness. And like I said, joy is in the journey and joy is a pathway to love.

Here’s a simple truth I want to share with you about creating deeper loving relationships. Whatever your person, place, or thing is, you have a relationship to it. That relationship begins with the thoughts in your head. 

Second Stage of Exercising Love Muscles

This time around, choose yourself as the subject of love building.

Let me review the simple steps of the exercise.

First, you pick something you want to have a deeper loving relationship with. That can be a person, place, or thing.

Then, you slow things down and imagine the love you already have for that thing.

In slow mode, you make sure you have a solid focus on the love you have without any fear or anti-love thoughts.

Once you have a flow of love going into the image of your relationship to that thing you want to love deeper, you begin to speed up the flow of love.

Third Stage of Exercising Love Muscles

The final exercise is done by choosing a person, place, or thing that you do not like.

The first P of the 3Ps that an Everyday Heroine practices is a peace for a reason.  An Everyday Heroine realizes that when she is not practicing peace, she is practicing hate.

Imagine a person, place, or thing that you don’t like, imagine one nice thing that you could say about that thing, slow it down to make sure you filter out any negative thoughts - simply ask the negative thoughts to leave this party. Continue pumping something nice into that thing. Keep it slow and steady until you feel some genuine niceness towards this thing. Recognize that you are generating love with even the slightest amount of niceness. You are a love factory.

That is how you exercise love muscles for deeper loving relationships.
