Anchored In Always- healing and recovery for life, marriage and loss

Faith talks with my dad, Pastor Mike Stambaugh- A deeper look into the Bible at why Jesus is our hope and anchor in the storm!

God gave us Hebrews 6:19 as a verse to lean on during Marcus's battle with cancer. My dad shared a powerful message at our son’s memorial service on why Jesus is truly our hope and we can anchor in him in the storms of life!

In this episode He will dig deeper into that verse and share WHY Jesus is our anchor and hope. He will also share from his own heart as a pastor, father and grandfather and how he had to cling to Jesus as his anchor too!

If you are in a storm right now in your own life, this message will encourage you and bring understanding to why this specific verse brought so much comfort to our family and it can yours too!

How looking at our past can help us get healthy in the present and move forward in the future!!

You may have heard the saying " you're only as sick as your secrets."  We've all made mistakes and hurt people and have also been deeply hurt by others and/or institutions. But when we cover up those wounds with a temporary band-aid fix or try to numb it, it just stays infected.  When we do the necessary yet often painful work of cleaning them out we truly can begin to heal! So how do we do that?

We are not meant to walk this life alone! What is a support team and why do you need one?

In this episode we will continue to build on the principles and steps of Christian recovery. Principle 4 is where things can start to get a little hard for many, but also where the most healing happens! Before we can actually do the steps of openly examining and confessing our faults, we need to identify our support team, but who and how?

How do we turn our lives around? Where do we start?!

In episode 13 we discussed principal 1 of Celebrate recovery and  identifying our struggles and stepping out of denial and then in episode 17 and 21 we looked at step 2 and shared how we are powerless in and of ourselves to stop the insanity when our lives feel out of control and unmanageable. In today’s episode we will dig into Principle three and honestly the foundation for true and lasting recovery which is turning our lives and wills over to Christ! So How do we do that?!

Through all is the ups and downs in my life, my dad has always been the person I’ve gone to for encouragement, especially spiritually! He may not tell me what I want to hear, but I know he will tell me what I need to hear and point me to the unchanging truths of God's Word.

He has been a pastor for 34 years and not only studies the Bible but truly loves it! Join us in a heart to heart conversation about what it means to be “in Christ” and how we can grow as believers in an ever changing and uncertain world that often tells us the lie that it’s all about our happiness!

My Spouse and I are so different, can we truly be close even if we don't feel compatible?

Sometimes we look at the person we said “I do” too and shake our heads and think “why did I marry them?” We could not be more different. We have nothing in common, maybe the appeal has worn off and now you are living in the nitty-gritty of everyday life, no longer trying to impress and pursue this person! How do we find the spark again? How do we use our differences to enhance our marriage instead of dividing us?
