Are you living with the pain of your past? Many individuals have experienced some type of trauma. What is interesting is that many may not realize that the trauma has became a part of their life yet one may not realized how it is affecting them. Left untreated or unprocessed the trauma can refer to events, relationships or emotions that have not been fully dealt with.

Father's Day was yesterday. Many individuals honored their father in a variety of ways. The role a father play is a blue print to an individual's life.

I understand that all were not trying to produce a child and may have complicated relationships with the mother of their child.

Most children are now being taught how to regulate their emotions. There are however some factors that can make it difficult for some children.

When is enough enough? As I sit here watching and listening to things that is happening all over the world as well as in the home of others it is time for individuals to turn from their wicked ways. However what does that mean to you? Our wicked ways according to the scripture are hating and ignoring. This means we make time to spend quality time with God in prayer and in the word. 2 Chronciles 7:14 states "If My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
Ezekiel 33:11 Say unto them, as I live saith the Lord God. I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live; turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Isreal?

It is time to tell the truth. There is a difference between being racist, bias, rude, unaware or just not wanting to know. In order to change one's behavior one must acknowledge such behavior.

Many individuals have heard or perhaps have said that they are blessed. Yet I have learned that many individuals really have no ideal or understanding as to what that really mean. For years, I myself thought that it meant that one was happy in life without a care or burden in the world. I as well as others was led to believe that it consisted of material items which was visable to another. However as I matured in my spiritual walk I learned that such is a favor or gift bestowed by God thereby bringing happiness. It is the invoking of God's favor upon a person. There are different types of blessings.

Today's show is designed to provide clarification as to the term, "Pay It Forward." Such is an old term that is used as an expression for describing the beneficiary of a good deed repaying it to others instead of the one who did the good deed to him. It has been said that, "We are debtors to all people if God has given us a gift that he is willing to give to all who call upon him."
Many individuals appear to be confused as it relates to this term as one may believe that the good deeds in obedience to God are payback to God when Paul says those good deeds are a very work of grace, not the payback for grace. And lets that a look at Psalm 116:12 "What shall I render to the Lord for all of his beneifts to me?" So let's talk about it.
Join Pastor Daniel Estell and others as we discuss this topic. Live 6/18/19 at 11:30am. Call 516 387-1914 to join in on the conversation. We all have something the we can pay forward question in are we doing it?

Today we are living in a world where what we are witnessing is causing a great deal of confusion for both believers and non believers. However when it comes to things of the world are you giving into peer pressure? The culture of the world may look like fun at times however there will be a cost.
When is comes to relationships many have been taught that one must learn how to negotiate or compromise. However does that also apply to one's relationship with God? The Bible makes it clear that God does not codone compromising His Standards. "Joyful are people of intregrity who follow the instructions of the Lord." So what is a Believer to do that is struggling? There is a cost that comes with compromising. Let's talk about it.

Prayer is one of the most powerful weapons God has given us. And today more than ever it is important that we get on our knees and develop a prayer life. It has been said that many individuals especially Christians do not know how to pray. It is also not alway easy to pray especially when one is going through a storm.
Prayer is powerful and it should not be underestimated. James 5:16-18 declares , "The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective," God most definately listens to our prayers. He answers prayers and move in response to prayers. This is how we communicate with God. However, the problem is many individuals present their request to God and the response could be yes, no, or wait. However it appears that when such happens and the response is not what the person wants to hear or receive such has caused many indiviudals to become angry at God as well as doubt the power of prayer. Philippians 4:6-7 declares do not be anxious about anything but in everything by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving let your request be made know to God.
There are benefits to having a prayer life. It has also been proven that prayer works and have a positive psysiological effect. There are different types of prayer.

The role and importance of the church in the community is of value. When I was a child there were individuals that attended their neigborhood church. There were also many programs and activities for children, youth as well as adults. Today individuals now have many selections as it relates to where they want to fellowship.

Are you in a relationship with an individual that appears to be unavailable, ghosting you, or perhaps struggling with making a commitment? Relationships can take on many forms. However when one is attracted to, dating, or perhaps married to an individual that appears to struggle with their emotions it can create a challenge. Many individuals have knowledge that they may struggle with expressing their emotions and when such is to be shared with another one may not know how to do such. Today show is designed to discuss being involved with one who's emotionally unavailable
You may be wanting to be closer to this individual and often question if it is even possible. The individual may be sending you mixed messages. They may become evasive, make excuses, or may be inept when it comes to talking about feeling or the relationship. Individuals will often want to explore therapy to see if the relationship is worth saving or perhaps even have a chance.
Both men and women can be emotionally unavailable. There are also different types of unavailability it can be temporary and chronic. The indivudual may have been unavailable when you met them. Others may become unavailable as the relationship grow. It can be that the individual may have a mental illness, a troubled childhood, a higher priority than a relationship. There may be a drug or alcohol problem. They individual may also be married or in another relationship.

As a Believer, I have lived long enough to know that the word respect has a different meaning to individuals. At one time I believed that such was a universal word however based on what is going on in our world today such appears to have taken on its own meaning. As a child, many individuals were taught to respect others by their parents. Then one would enter the educational system only to continue to enhance their meaning of respect yet the experience received varied. And if one was raised in the church one was taught about respect much differently from others. However with what is occuring in the world and in the church it can be scary when one see such disrespect occuring even as one disrespect themselves as well as the Word of God.
Last week Pastor Daniel Estell and I talked about Parenting Adult Children and what was frequently mentioned was the word respect. Join Pastor Daniel Estell and I as we provide additional information as we share how such can be implimented. Attitude, belief and one's life experience can shape how one view oneself and the world around them however does that give one permisssion to disrespect another? Let's talk about it.

When it comes to relationships many individuals both male and females have been in situations which they thought was love only to find out that such was an understatement. The relationship can start off as fun, interesting and loving only to take a turn for the worst. The interesting part is many individuals miss the warning signs.
Domestic violence also known as domestic abuse is violence or other abuse by one person against another in a domestic setting, such as a marriage, cohabitation, dating, or by other relations.

The years fly by when it comes to watching your children grow. One minute you are bringing them home as a newborn. Next they are eating all of your food and telling you what to do. Then they become 18. And if you raised them in a church environment, what is your new role? Many have raised their children to build a relationship with God only to have your children keeping you on your knees. Many look at Proverbs 22:6 as a promise from God that right parenting will produce children who will keep their faith. Is this happening in your life with your adult child?
Many parents are struggling with their role as the bible says that children should obey and submit to their parents. when they become an adult does that still apply? Many young adults are doing well. Yet there are those with entitlement issues, afraid to leave the nest, struggling with being responsible and now want to make their parents life a mess.

As as Believer what is your perception of love, sex, marriage and intimacy? Many individuals have different views when it comes to this topic. I have found that for some our parents either were afraid to talk about this matter. Or in my case they tried to put the fear of God in their children by providing false information. My mother had three daughters and being the oldest I believed that she was going to have me spaded. It was not until I visited Petco as an adult I learned differently. And talking to peers, older siblings and other relatives for some also also ended with unhealthy results.
When it comes to enhancing ones understanding about God's design for sex or intimacy many have found that their curiosity got them in trouble.What does the bible say about love, sex, itimacy, marriage and being a Christian?

April is sexual assault awareness month. Many may not be aware however the month of April was chosen as a time to educate, prevent and bring awareness to the violence against women. That does not mean that a male can not be sexually assaulted. Sexual violence is any sexual violence or sexual activity where consent is not freely given. Sexual violence affects millions of people each year in the United States. More than 1 in 3 women and nearly 1 in 4 men have experience sexual violence involving physical contact at some point in their lives. Nearly 1 in 5 women and 1 in 38 men have experienced, came close or attempted to have been rape in their lifetimes.
Every 98 seconds someone in the U.S. is sexually assaulted. Over half of these people are between the ages of 18 and 34. Sexual assault, harassment, and abuse are preventable. During Sexual Assault Awareness Month, learn how asking for consent can put an end sexual violence.

When it comes to the will of God many question, "Why did God let this happen?" God's will is often questioned. God's Plans may not always be our plan. I have often said that God has a sense of humor.

The quote, "Age is not noting but a number use to be many individuals theme song." However is that really true? Or what happens when one hits football numbers? I can recall as a child saying, " I can't wait to get grown." Not realizing that I would be grown much longer than I was going to be a child. And as I recently celebrated a birthday while in the 50 Club I am now reflecting on my mother telling me, "Keep living." Question is how can one do such and age gracefully?
Both men and women can struggle with this process. Many use to say that men would go through a mid life crisis. While women became cogars. Then comes the aging process. Some individuals are living much longer than others yet we are still witnessing individuals die at a very young age.
Join myself as well as others as we talk about the aging process. We all should age gracefully. Yet many are living lives that are unbalanced and it can take it toll on ones health. To join the conversation call 516 387-1914. Live 4/8/19 at 12:00pm Pacific.
When an individual say that they are praying for you or that you are in their prayers what does that really mean? I have heard it be said that one must also pray for themself as God can also hear their prayers. Which brings me to the topic as it relates to the power of prayer. This power should not be underestimated however it is often misunderstood. Today a person told me that many individuals use prayer like a wish list. James 5:16-18 states ,"The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective." What happens when a woman pray? I have personally witnessed and have heard of mothers pray like crazy for their children or marriage. Social media is also flooded with information regarding prayer or individuals praying for the sick, or those going through. God most definiely listens to prayers, answer prayers, and moves in response to prayer.
This brings me to question how is your prayer life? Do you know how to pray. This is can be a struggle for both believers as well as non believers. If you want to improve your prayer life or have questions as to how to communicate with God you do not want to miss this show. And if you want to share how God heard your prayer let's talk about it.

Recently my daughter brought something to my attention. I recall going into Walmarts and seeing pictures of lost and missing children. I also remember when they started the Amber Alert System. However when my daughter shared with me that there are 64,000 missing Black Women and Girls in the United States and no one seems to care. I became outraged. I recall telling my children by way of threat about being placed on a milk carton. So I want to let others know that I do care. And it saddens me that this issue appears to be overlooked.
Based on information I reviewed nationwide over the years there appear to be a disturbingl disproportionate number of Black women and girls across the United States have gone missing. What's even more alarming is that the media coverage and legislation that missing Black girls are getting seems to be lacking compared to others that have gone missing. It is often unclear whether they have run away from home, were inflicted by violence, abducted, sent into sex industry or taken for their organs. Let's not only talk about it. Let's do something about it. Live 4/1/19 at 12pm Pacific. Call 516 387-1914 to join in on the conversation.
There comes a time in everyones life when life seems more than one can bare. Be it mental, relational, financial or spiritual. When that happens what is one to do? I can recall being told that everyone often gets stuck in a rut and often wants to give up on life. However when one solely rely on ones own strength and one's resources run out. Not to mention family and friends seems to not hear you or perhaps refuse to return your call or open their door. Where can one turn?
I was told that there is a Man. And he is not a boyfriend or husband. When one grow tired and feel heavy and burdened or perhaps things appear to be out of control or perhaps difficult. Remember God never gets tired nor does He run out of resources, love, grace, mercy or solutions to our problems.
According to the Word of God he knows and understand what we are going through. He also knows what we need to get through it. That is why He frequently tells us to not worry about our problems or allow our situation to take over our minds. God said that we can cast all of our worries and anxities on to Him. With that being said I am assured that God has not forgotten about me nor has He forgotted about you.
If you are feeling helpless or hopeless and feel that God has forgotten about you you do not want to miss this show. Join Pastor Daniel Estell and I as we discuss this topic. To join in on the conversation call 516 387-1914. No problem is too big or small for God.
Scars from childhood can take on many forms. Often the scars are not visable until adulthood. Yet the scars can affect how one view the world as well as themself. We know that there is no such thing as a perfect parent. Many individuals also parent the way they were parented. And lets not forget those that try to do the total opposite of their parents.
While specific circumstancs will vary. The roots can be deep. There may be situations were one may have been un-or-underparented. Others may have had parents that may have been abusive, or emotionally, mentally unavailable. Blaming another for how one feels does not help the situation. Ones feelings are valid however, If ones parent changes or perhaps are no longer alive what is one to do to heal from their childhood scars.
Join Jeanette Abney and others as we discuss this topic. The goal is not to blame ones parents. It is to take steps to heal and become a better person as an effort to stop the pain, develop healthy relationships, and recover from one childhood scars.

Do you recall as a child being told that the early bird gets the worm? I recall that saying yet truly never knew what it meant. As a child we were taught to take a nap. Or when things in life would become too much many of us were told to take a nap or go to sleep. Could such have become a learned behavior? And could it be that many of us are still asleep? Or could it be that we are perhaps just being slient or playing dead. However now is the time for us to really pay attention and wake up.
With all that is going on in the world many individuals are turning away from social media, television and the radio. Such can become overwhemling and depressing. However, are we also turning away form what God is trying to tell us. Or perhaps written in his Word. Join Pastor Daniel Estell and I as we disuss this topic live 3/19/19 at 11:30am.

When it comes to relationships many become baffled and confused as we struggle with understanding God's Plan and purpose for our life. Many have heard scriptures quoted as it relates to, "Adam was put to sleep," It is not meant for man to live alone," and let's not forget about Genesis 2:24 " Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." So how did this all start? What was the purpose of God putting Adam asleep taking his rib and making woman? How do you really know if someone is your soul or helpmate?

We know that God is a loving and forgiving God. However It seems like many believers and non believers often take God for granted. Many want to do things and live lifestyles that goes against the word of God and then will say, " I'm only human." "Only God can judge me" And let's not forget, " God is a forgiving God"
As a child I recall my parent s telling me get out of here with that mess. Some individuals have also been called a hot mess. Question is do we really know what the mess is? Or could it be that we have become comfortable living in our mess. Is the mess a sin? So what is a person to do? Many want the blessing of God just like we wanted things from our parents.

When is comes to the Criminal Justice System such appears to be full of flaws. In the United States many have seen the innocent being wrongfully accused and may have served lenghtly sentences or perhaps have been placed on death row or put to death while many that have committed crimes have either been set free, given a shorter sentence or perhaps were not even arrested. With such going on what is one to do when they have been accused of a crime that they did not commit. I have often heard individuals say that they took deals by plea bargaining as they just wanted to be released from custody only to later declare their innocence. Then comes another concern which relates to if the punishment fits the crime.
It is known that the United States incarcerates more people in both absolute numbers and per capita than any other nation. American taxpayers spend billions of dollars each year to keep millions of individuals behind bars. So what can we do about this issue.

Last week a question was raised before the end of the show as it relates to, "If your spouse is not saved is your house out of order?" That posed an interesting questions as many believers may be married, dating or connected to an unsaved spouse, child, or family member.

Our family history will be revealed in many ways. Whether it was good or bad it can have an enormous impact upon or relationship with others including our partners whether we realize it or not. Ones childhood baggage can impacts ones relationship such can also determine if ones relationship will last. Fredrick Douglas once quoted, " It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men."
We all have baggage from our childhood and unfortunately whether you like it or not it will resurface sooner or later. It will present itself in relationships or perhaps in how one parent. Here are some examples of the types of baggage one may be carrying: Abandonment, Mistrust and Abuse, Dependence/Vulnerability, Social Exclusion, Entitlement Issues just to name a few. There are also hidden baggages which can be dangerous. The baggage can be emotional issues which can be driven by negative feelings such as anger, fear and sadness. Help is available.

`Many have ofter hear the term, " Tomorrow is not promised to nobody." Or the phrase, " We are living in our last days." However what does that really mean. I have attended several homegoing celebrations and have heard the pastor say, " Is your house in order?" That is a question that often leave individuals very confused for both believers and non believers. I have heard individuals say, " I am not concerned about what happens to me." Others have went out of their way to make preparations yet having others do thing opposite of the persons wishes. So with that being said, " Is your house in order?'

In 2011 a new term origniated called, "Ghosting." Many may not have heard of such of a term but others may have experienced such. Ghosting is breaking off a relationship by ceasing all forms of communication and contact with the former partner without any apparent warning or justification, as well as ignoring the former partner's attempts to reach out or communicate. It appears that 27% of women and 14% of men reported having been ghosted. 24% of women and 17% of men have ghosted another. 23% of women and 36% of men reported never experencing ghosting in any capacity. 26% of women and 33% of men reported both either ghosting or being ghosted.
Ghosting does not pertain to a certain gender. It appears to be closely related to one's maturity and communication skills.

Are you aware of your assignment from God? How do you know if it is God's assignment or your agenda? God creates every individual for a specific assignment on earth. It is written that before God formed you in your mother's womb, He knew you and ordained you for a specific task here on earth. If you read your bible it will provide information of the specific asssignemnts were for Moses, Joshua, David and Solomon just to name a few.
Life on earth has no meaning or purpose when you do not know why God placed you on earth yet along why he is keeping you here on earth. Life can also be complicated when you are ignoring or refusing to do what you are suppose to be doing. Then one may question, " How do I know what my assignemnt is?'

How is your relationship with God? Often many have said before you make any decisions, "What did the Lord say?" Individuals have also inquired, "What did Jesus say?" Our lives can sometimes feel like a constant noise. We often want an answer to our life challenges until do we really hear the voice of God? Or is it that we do what we want and later say that it was God? Interesting enough we knew it was our own voice yet we were hoping to hear from Him. Today, as I was preparing for this topic after having the song ring in my spirit, "God Is Trying To Tell You Something." My God brother asked me what does God's voice sound like? I was not going to make up something so I did not answer his question. What I learned from that converation is that your relationship with God plays a vital role in knowing and hearing His voic. That made a lot of sense as to why individuals would pray especially when things are going wrong and become impatient when they don't get an immediate response.
So, when you are seeking the answer to one of life's challenges and you don"t want to get it wrong or make a bad decision there is some good news. God is speaking to you all the time. It's the nature of God' to speak to His children. God wants to have fellowship with you and he wants you to hear Him all the time not just when you want something. As a Believer you don't have to go through life blindly making decisions relying on your own abilities. When you learn how to tune in with God's voice you will hear Him. According to the New Testament, it is written that Jesus said, He who has ears to hear, let him hear, " 15 different times.

When it comes to trust many individuals have lived long enough to have been through something where their trust in someone or something has been broken or challenged. Such can leave scars, doubt and problems with moving forward in other relationships or life endeavours. My question is what is trust? I have heard individuals say that they only trust God or their mama. Only to learn that such is often just a figure of speech. What about trusting oneself?
There are also individuals that have been in relationships or business deals were trust was broken.Many have had situations were they have been betrayed by individuals close to them including their parents or other family members. And let's not forget what going on within our government. Join my callers, special quest and myself on 1/28/19 at 12pm Pacific as we discuss ways to rebuild trust. To join the conversation call 516 387-1914. Rebuilding trust requires work. One must decide to forgive. One must be open to self-growth. One must also be aware of their innermost feelings and share their thoughts. One must also learn how to be honest and trustworthy. This does not mean that you can trust any and everyone. However if your trust has been broken don't punish yourself. Invest in yourself. Learn how to identify untrustworthy individuals and develop healthy relationships.
Some individuals are who they are and until they decide to change don"t let them change you. Even if it feels impossible it is worth it to set youself free. Learn how to Rebuild Trust or become Trustworthy.
In our world today many live such a busy life. Many are trying to balance work, family, church and what is going on in the world. However what about God? There are so many things that are going on theses days that many are often consumed with unnecessary things. All of which are considered distractions. When one become distracted they are not focused or paying attention.
A few weeks ago I was questioned as it relates to what is happing in our world. I responded by telling the person, "I am in the world but not of the world." My response startled the person. As I had to remind the individual that it can be very easy to become distracted from God. Some of the most common distractions are money, media, church/religion, relationships, routine, our work, hobbies, our wants, our pastors, politics, and lastly ourselves.
Distractions from God can be dangerous. Don't let the noise of the world keep you from hearing the voice of the Lord.Join Pastor Daniel Estell and I as we discuss this topic live 1/22/19 11:30AM Pacific. To join in on the conversation call 516 387-1914.

The Commericial Sex Act includes prostitution, pronography and sexual perofrmance done in exchange for any item of value, such as money, drugs, shelter, food of clothes.Traffickers find their victims through social neworks, home neighborhoods, clubs or bars, internet and schools.

In todays society children are not like they use to be. This is causing many parents to question themselves or perhaps get into trouble with CPS or law enforcement. Such can also cause a discord within ones relationship with the other parent which can cause havoc within the household.
Keeping that in mind, children have their own personality. It seems that one of the most challenging can be that of a strong willed child. And speaking from experience I myself was one. Strong willed children can be a challenge when they are young, but if parented appropriatley they can become terrific teens and young adults.. They can be self motivated and inner directed. They will go after what they want and are almost impervious to peer pressure. As long as parents and others resist the impulse to break their will a strong willed child can often become great leaders.

As we are now in 2019, many believers appear to still struggle with understanding how to live like christ? As indicated in the bible according to apostle Paul writing to the church as he encouraged them, "with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self and put on the new self, created to be like God in true rightousness and holiness."
So how do one actually do that? How do one build a healthier life? How can one stop repeating negative patterns in their life and focus on living out the positive patterns? How can one speak the truth into their pain so that one can live in peace? How can one take off the old self and put on the new self?

When it comes to letting go of things or people such can be a challenge for many. 2018 is over and as we enter into the first month of 2019 many have made promises to change, prosper and grow in many areas of their life. Be it personal or relational letting go means being willing to allow life to carry one into a new place or developing a new attitude. As a child I use to hear my elders say perhaps trimming the fat.
To let it go. The it can be anything. However it must be identified and acknowledged. If not it will turn into pain, hurt and resentment. Many have declared that they have let go and let God yet continue to struggle with forgiving themself or the one that they feel mayhave hurt them.
Join me and the callers as we discuss tips on how to let go, understanding the process and the importance of forgiveness. Life is precious and time is short. Wasting time depletes one's energy. 2019 should bring about change so let's let somethings go.

Storms very in the lives of individuals. Many are going through, been through or will go through. But in the mist of your storm do you or will you still worship and praise God? There are times when many want to give in and perhaps give up. But what many Believers and Non Believers may not be aware of is that is when we need God most. The enemy's goal is for one to withdraw from his presence. One then may start to believe the lie that God has forsaken them. Problem is when storms hit one's life show up in the presence of God. Let the enemy know that you will run and get even closer to God.
I had a person tell me today, I pray. I cry out to God and he does not answer my prayer. This did not surprise me as I have heard such before. In my response I explored the person's faith in a non- judgemental way. Think about the story of Noah In Genesis 6-9:17. Storms will come and go. Yet ones faith, trust in God, praise and worship will get them through. With all that is going on don't lose your joy. If you are struggling, drowning or losing hope let's talk about it.

Being a parent is not an easy task. As one give birth a book with instructions were not attached with the child. So as the child age many challenges can occur. One must take into account their parenting style, cultural and religious belief, past trauma or upbringing, current living, relational situation with the other parent, and the emotion and development of the child. Let's not forget about those that are raising a child that they did not give birth to yet are raising or providing care for. Taking that into consideration the transition into a teenager and young adulthood can create a nightmare for both the parent and teen or young adult.
With the way our society is going, the different types of things that our teens and young adults are exposed to adapting to the personality changes of another can strengthen or break the parenting bond that one may have had previously. This can also create issues with respect, communication, entitlement issues, not to mention teaching your teen or young adult to be a responsible productive member of society. Let's talk about it. Many parents are missing the warning signs. One should not parent out of guilt. When one know better they can do better.

Is love really enough to make a marriage work? As a licensed marriage and family therapist I have come to believe that one's interprepation of love varies. And in some cases love may not have anything to do with it. So before one decides to marry an individual, what should one do? With the high number of divorces not to mention the high number of individuals that are involved in unhealthy or relationships where there may be issues with domestic violence or other areas of concern we must do something different. I now believe that one should seek assistance before they make a decision to even date. This could save individuals a lot of time, money and heart ache. But is that really realistic. So before one make that decision try premarital counseling.
Marriage is special to God and should be to us. Premarital counseling helps individual improve their ability to communicate, set realistic expectations for the marriage and develop conflict resolution skills. It can also assist couples establish a positive attitude about seeking help throughout their relationship.
One may have many questions as it relates to premarital counseling. Others are still going to do what they want despite the red flags or what others may advise including a professional. I have been married enough times to disucuss the importance of premarital counseling. We have free will. And marriage is honorable. Again, I believe we should explore such counseling while dating just to make sure one is compatible and should even be considering marriage. So let's talk about it.

It also has an impact on others including the church. For some individuals, life struggles whatever it may be is manageable and one may be able to function. For others such may take their own life.
Suicide is no joke.

Are we as Believers becoming so deep in our word that we are neglecting or perhaps hurting God's People? As I was researching this topic I noticed there there are many concepts, views and perceptions as it relates to how Sexuality is perceived between Catholics, Christians and Muslims. This is just to name a few religions.
Many believe the Bible to be the book of instructions before leaving earth. My question is as many individuals read the Bible and fellowship in their place of worship why are we losing so many people? Is love, sex, understanding the flesh and sexuality being addressed in the church? Are we educating, healing or hurting our people? In some cases perhaps traumatizing others? This topic as been a very interesting topic as we need a better understanding.

This week many individuals will be celebrating Thanksgiving with their family. There are others that may not be able to be with their family for whatever reason. There are also those that do not celebrate holidays. For myself, after the passing of my mother in 2008 the word family took on a different meaning. So my question to you is how do you define family? Many individuals are very familuar with the term Nuclear and Extended Family. Yet while preparing for the show I learned that we may be related by blood or marriage to an individual and spending quality time with them this week appears to be the norm. Others would say that loyalty is what makes an individual family. Family is very important for a number of reason. It is first known to be the single most important influence in a child's life. Family also is where many learned values, morals and bad habits.
If you have a functional or dysfunction family getting through the holidays can create anxiety and other emotions. So today join me and other callers as we discuss the importance of family.

When it comes to parenting there is no such thing as the perfect parent. Most individuals parent as they were raised. However when it comes to hitting, spanking and corporal punishment on children does that really work or change the child's behavior? Attitudes are changing and abuse is abuse. Yet many parents are getting in trouble with Child Protective Services which children are being removed from their homes and parents are facing legal, financial problems and yes having to take classes for their reaction as it relates to perhaps the methods one chose to discipline thier child.
When is comes to discipline for children, the age and development of the child must be taken into consideration. Discipline is also about teaching and not punishment. When a child acts out or break a rule there should be consequences. Yet how should a parent react?
According to a survey many adults reported being spanked, hit, received corporal punishment or was called names by a parent. Twenty years later according to The American Academy Of Pediatrics On Spanking Children they believe don't do it ever.They have found that aversive discipline strategies including all forms of corporal punishment and yelling at or shaming children can cause issues in children even later in life. What they found is that the brain does not grow and develophitting as well once there has been physical punishment to the point where it can cause learning problems, problems with vocabulary and memory, as well as aggressive behaviors. So again with children's behavior becoming more challenging what can a parent do?

With all that we have going on in the world today, why is sexuality such a big deal for the church today? It appears that there is still a conflict as it relates to same sex marriages, transgender individuals and the ordination of one that is openly gay. This issue has led to controversies to determine if books should be banned from stores, donations withheld from charities, as well as church memberships. It has alsosplit families as well as caused pastors to step down and forced members as well as individuals wanting to serve God to not feel comfortable in church.
As a Believer what can we do as it relates to this topic? While gathering information for the show I came across a statement that read, " The homosexuality issue is not about "them" but about you and about us." I found that statement to be very powerful.
What is your understanding of sexuality, sex, love, gender and ones faith? Are we making moral judgements or acting out of fear, hate, or lack of knowledge? Join Pastor Daniel Estell and I as we discuss this topic. Live 11/06/18 at 11:30am.
Sexual abuse is unwanted sexual activity, with perpetrators using force, making threats or taking advantage of victims not able to or perhaps one did not give consent. Most victims and perpetrators know each other.immediate reaction to sexual abuse include shock, fear or disbelief. Long term symptoms include anxiety, fear or post traumatic stress disorder. Such may also have a lasting impact on ones relationship with other, self esteem or one's sexuality.
It appears that we frequently hear a lot about sexual abuse when the victim is a female in gender. However what about male victims? Yes even a male can be sexually assaulted. In the wake of what has been going on in the media more men especially in Hollywood are coming forward with their stories regarding sexual harassment and sexual abuse. Research indicates that one in six men experienced sexual abuse at some point during childhood, and this is probably a low estimate. It also happens in jail, prison, military, school, churches as well as in their own homes. Males both young and old suffer in silence. And those that do not obtain help risk exposure to greater physical health issues, mental health issues and social dysfunctions.
Let's end the silence. Help us out there. Prevention is also a must. We have to stop ignoring this issue. We also have to educate our male children as they can be just as much a victim as females.

Based on today news and current events we are becoming flooded with information as it relates to the disrespect, fear, harassment, and even death of others. It has even become dangerous to attend family events and to even worship. As a nation what can we do? Many fear what they don't understand. And the treatment, entitlement and disrespect can no longer be tolerated.
Love can overpower hate. I am a true believer that what is in an individual will eventually manifest. However ones belief, attitudes and perception is often based on ones experience or what they were taught. Knowledge is power. And we must do better.
To hate requires a great deal of energy. And ignorance is bliss. Our people will also perish due to lack of knowledge because thou has rejected knowledge. Let's join together in unity.
If you are concerned, afraid to attend your place of worship, afraid to go to the store, or school, or perhaps packing let's talk about it. Action specks louder than words. This issue is deeper than the color of ones skin, or ones social economical status or political view. And we can not blame everything on one's mental health. Join Pastor Daniel Estell and I as we discuss this topic. To hate is a choice as well as to love. Strengths comes in numbers with unity we will obtain the ability to understand.
