You've Gotta Hear This!

Whether we realize it or not, children are the best tape recorders (do those even exist anymore?) and the world's worst interpreters. In other words, we receive messages in our early years that impact our motivations and our thinking for the rest of our lives. Perhaps you brought home your report card eagerly expecting kudos from Dad and he glowered and said, "Is that the best you can do?" He may have said nothing at all, and yet we interpreted his silence in our little heart of hearts to mean disapproval. Life messages like "be perfect," "be pleasing," "be strong" and "be responsible" can be the core script by which we live every day. So we live to please people. Or we determine that nothing we do is ever good enough. We try harder, or we just give up! Instead of living out our days in Jesus' loving arms, we feel frustrated, angry, isolated or depressed. God wants to change all that. He wants to heal our hurts and renew our minds. Dr. Chet Weld has provided two "Pastor to Pastor" podcasts you won't want to miss! Healing Misplaced Guilt and Faulty Thinking and Healing Damaged Emotions will change your life.

In case the word "podcast" mystifies you, we create these twenty-minute interviews with dynamic pastors, leaders, missionaries, authors and psychologists on subjects that cover Christ in culture, Christian ethics, preaching, evangelism, and counseling. Don't let the term "Pastor to Pastor" fool you! If you listen, you'll be blessed!
