relationships and faith. They explore how to foster deeper connections with family members who
struggle with vulnerability by modeling openness, inviting honest conversations, and listening
without judgment. They also share how they have learned to support self-critical loved ones through the power of specific encouragement and patience while speaking the truth in love.

On the show today, Brook and Elizabeth and Phil and Diane talk about complaining. They unpack how complaining often masks deeper issues like grief, unmet expectations, or a lack of acceptance.
True lament invites God into our pain, helping us process grief without getting stuck, while
godliness with contentment reorients our perspective. By repenting of entitlement, embracing
suffering as part of our calling, and teaching others, including our children, to lament with God,
we grow in faith and resilience. Enjoy!

Join us today as Brook, Phil, and Diane discuss their best daily habits. Spoiler alert: it’s reading their Bibles each day. Some stories and reflections are shared today about how God has transformed each of them over the years by reading the scriptures daily. Reading the Bible is not meant to be legalistic; God’s heart is an invitation, wanting to bless, meet, and help you. To keep it simple, they break it down into five different ways to read the scriptures. Enjoy!
5 different ways to read the scriptures:
*First, find a place you like to be in where you won't be interrupted. You may have to wake up earlier for this, so don’t forget your journal.
1) Read Prayerfully
2) Read Carefully
3) Read Humbly
4) Read Expectantly
5) Read Joyfully
