Ep 85: Surprised by Hotflashes

This episode was inspired by a few women reaching out to ask us to consider talking about aging, in women.  Since, we are all getting a bit older, every day, we thought it'd be a great time to talk about it.  Some of the questions we discuss on this episode, were questions submitted by our listeners.

1. How do we embrace the process of growing older in the best way possible?

2. addressing our fears, is very important and something we want to do regularly, first, for the glory of God now, but it will also prepare us for the changes as we age. What are some other biblical principles that we need to embrace?

3. How can we display the fruit of the Spirit when it feels like our hormones are taking over?

4. My question is about being in the sandwich generation. I am married. I have adult children and young grandchildren. I also have an aging mom who is requiring more and more care.  What kind of boundaries would be good to have in place to keep these relationships in their proper priority?

5. What should the Christian approach be to aging when it comes to Botox and filler?

1. What does it mean to be in community?  Can you give some biblical examples of this?

2. Many people find a great deal of fulfillment by belonging to a community.  How is a church community different than, say, a sports community, or arts community?

3. Why is a Christian church community  important to the life of the believer?

4.  What does belonging to a meaningful Christian community look like?

5. Can you share some practical things we can actively do to ensure we are plugging ourselves into a community that will be a blessing to us as well as to others.

6. What is Church Discipline and how does it help build and protect Christian community?

7. What would you say is unique about our community at Harvest and how has it been cultivated, either intentionally or unintentionally?
