In some instances, or with certain emotions or addictions, a person may feel helpless that they have “No Self Control.” But we can overcome!

Do we have excuses for our actions, attitudes, or behaviors? Each person has free will, and in that they may make right choices or terrible mistakes. 

For every believer, follower of Jesus is given the fruit of the Spirit which is filled with love and held together with self control. But if that self-control is not used, stretched, or maintained, it may remain weak for when a challenge comes along.

Have you been struggling with hurt, bitterness, and thoughts of revenge because someone has offended you? Do you rehearse in your mind the attacks of toxic people? “Forgiveness” is good for your soul. 

 We can enjoy peace when we give God our troubles, walk away from the strife, and forgive. It is each person’s choice, whether to be stuck in the past of poisonous memories or to find victory and blessings as we forgive and let it go.

Do you know someone who needs “Anger Management”? 
Are they quick to anger, spewing out ugly words, or acting out? 
Does that describe you sometimes? 

Are there any valid excuses for our reactions and behaviors toward others? 
It all boils down to choices we make. Where does our help come from? 
With the Lord’s help, we can be slow to anger. Casey shares scriptural support and a brief testimony.

So much of our lives involve facing an unknown future. “Are you Afraid?”

When fear comes knocking at our door, we can allow ourselves to be overwhelmed, or we can decide to focus on the Lord. We can find strength in Him as we stir up our faith. 

 This episode brings encouragement with ways we can rally our faith during dark and scary times that invite us to be afraid. For instance, we can remember past times we were rescued by the Lord.

Your “Weakness” may be different than mine. Maybe you have tried on your own to overcome that weakness. What is the opposite? Strength, and that is the remedy, strength from the Lord. 

Casey candidly shares her struggle with weaknesses and how she found strength. Also, we explore a couple of examples from the scriptures, (King) David and the Apostle Paul. Through their weakness, the Lord was strong. 

 We too can find strength through Jesus Christ as we turn to God in praise, prayer, obedience, and reliance on His Word.

Often, “Feeling Alone” is due to the absence of friendships or the loss of them. Having a sense of belonging is a human’s basic need.   

While there’s enticement to feel alone hitting us from many directions, Jesus invites us to a lasting relationship with Him. Once we belong to Him, we can have confidence He will stand by us. The Apostle Paul, for example (2 Timothy 4:16-18), found that some friends may abandon us, but those who love the Lord can trust that He will never leave.

Are you experiencing “Family Problems” or see it happening among your friends? What can anyone do about it?  

 As told in Luke 12, division is often between believers and unbelievers, members with differing outlooks and lifestyle. Resolution may require authenticity, fervent prayer, studying His Word, and to patiently lean on the Lord. 

 The Bible offers so much! It defines love (1 Cor 13), promotes an awareness of Spiritual Warfare (Eph 6). As healthy boundaries are set, a person my need to safely leave a habitually toxic environment.

“Financially Fit” touches on important points to consider as we manage money – Spend some, Save some, and Give some is what we hear. 

 To have a budget or plan for spending and saving is encouraged, with questions to ponder, such as: Can I afford it? Is this impulse buying, or a need? What about loans and co-signing? Should I invest?

When we focus on the Ultimate Giver, the Lord, it guards us against the love of money/ material wealth and greed. We are blessed as we bless others.

Many people have experienced periods of “Health Issues” or are now facing such troubles. In this episode I share a portion of my own journey and what I have learned.

 While a person is weak with pain, they may be distracted to dangers they otherwise would beware of. While in the midst of excruciating nerve pain, I turned to comfort foods, therefore entering a terrible spiral of increased health issues and pain. Have you been there, too?  Here, I share how the Lord turned it around.

With so much happening in today’s world, many people may suffer from depression. Here, we find a valid option to become “Depressed No More.” 

 Through my own crisis with chronic depression I learned to always, whatever the circumstances or challenges faced, to turn to God about it. Only the Creator of the Universe with an abundant love could bring comfort. Whether there’s quick resolution or He strengthens one through it, He is well able, and with a good plan.

What does it mean to “Cast your Cares” and how can it be done? 

There are far too many people in this world who remain stuck in their troubles, whether physically, emotionally, mentally, or in some twisted combination of these. What does it take to get over the horrible things of the past so the present can be enjoyed?

Have you ever received encouragement from “Advocates” who you later learned had suffered the same problems you have? Are you an advocate? 

 Advocates are motivated to help others and hope for the best outcome. Their actions demonstrate gratitude for how the Lord has rescued them.

Do you face challenges, you need to overcome? There is hope for your future!

As a domestic violence survivor, overcomer, and advocate, I want to share what I’ve learned during a lifetime of abuse. For instance, did you know the abuser has a ‘hook’ used to get their victim to stay? 

 Through my experience, I’ve come to believe I have the “Recipe for Overcoming” challenges, not just in domestic violence. There are only five ingredients, which I explain in this episode. 

 What are your thoughts on my ‘Recipe for Overcoming’?

Where can we go when we’re desperate and afraid? We can turn to the Lord! 
He is our refuge, a very present help in times of trouble.

There are many people in need of the Lord’s sheltering wings today, in need of refuge. What about women and their children who are in need of a safe haven? Should we have a concern even when it doesn’t involve those we know and love? Consider the greatest commandment, to love our neighbor as ourselves! The reality is that domestic violence can happen to anyone: you, your sister, your friend… maybe it is happening now to someone you care about! This is a pervasive problem to concern us all. 

Many organizations offer support; I mention one: 
Yeshua’s House is a faith-based ‘safe haven’ for women and their children coming from domestic violence and financial hardship. I was a Board Member for four years, now acting as Advisory. To contact Yeshua’s House, go to:
