How Family Members Help Each Other GrowBy Rick Warren“Since I . . . have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you.” John 13:14-15 (NLT)One of the marks of an awesome family—whether it’s your biological family, your adoptive family, or your church family—is that you help each other grow. But how do you do that? Let me give you two methods that help people grow and two that don’t. These apply in every area of life, not just in families.Listen in to this episode to learn more about what it takes to thrive as a family.

The goodness of God is overwhelmingly evident in our lives, rather we admit it or not. The Bible says His goodness leads us to repentance and a closer relationship with Him. His love is unconditional, and He desires us to draw near Him. However, there are times when we may feel that it is best to stay far away from His love. We tend to pursue things that look good but at the end of the day, aren’t good in the long run for us! Today who are you pursuing?What are you pursuing? How can you ask God for help?The Bible tells us that God is good and His mercy endures forever. We are told to “draw near to God, and He will draw near to you” (James 4:8). His love is available to you today — & He longs to know You more. We can be sure that He will never leave or forsake us, no matter what we have done.Sometimes, we may feel it is best to stay far away from God’s love. Due to our sin, shame, and struggles. We may feel that we are too sinful or unworthy of His love. But the truth is that God’s love is unconditional, and He desires us to draw near Him.Books:Set Apart: Stop Comparing, Own Your Giftedness, and Rest in Jesus" https://www.amazon.com/Set-Apart-Comparing-Giftedness-Jesus/dp/1540901025Start Where You Are "How God meets you in your mess, loves you through it, and leads you out of it" : https://www.amazon.com/Start-Where-You-Are-through/dp/1540900118If you'd like to support our ministry financially and assist us in reaching more people partner with us here paypal.me/copelandministries or cash app: $copelandministriesWatch this episode on Youtube here: https://www.Youtube.com/feyfamiliaSocialhttps://www.Instagram.com/ricanxo_https://www.instagram.com/rashcopeland https://www.Facebook.com/imsoblesseddailyofficialBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/faith-and-familia--3287906/support.

Today’s episode will touch your heart, not because of anything we say, but because of what God promises! Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.— Romans 5:3-5Let’s ask God to help us to form our character and conform us to Christ!!! God has forgiven us in Christ. Be tenderhearted and forgiving just as God in Christ forgave you (Ephesians 4:32). What God did in Christ is powerful. It makes change possible. The command to be tenderhearted has more to do with what God did for you than what your mother or your father did to you — and any other person on the face of the planet. This kind of command means you can change.

The holiday season can be a difficult time for many people. For those who have experienced a lack of peace, conflict, and messy family dynamics, this time of year can be especially hard. It can be difficult to find joy and peace during this season when so much of it seems to be focused on family and togetherness. How can we feel so disconnected and lonely in a room full of family? When our job is unstable — and our future seems uncertain? Our lives can seem utterly hopeless. However, there is hope. Isaiah 26:3 promises us, “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast because they trust in you.” This reminder of God’s promise can be a source of comfort and peace even during the most challenging times. We can take comfort in knowing that God is with us and that He will bring us peace and joy, no matter our circumstances. The holiday season can be a time of joy and peace, but it can also be a lonely and challenging season. However, we can find hope and comfort in God’s promises.Join us today on today's episode let’s talk about God’s peace that’s available to YOU today!1.

Do you long to go to bed at night knowing you've done the best you could with what you have as a parent and made a difference in your family life--even if you can't see it yet? Your children depend on you —As Christians, the Bible says during uncertain times that we are children of God and we should depend on our Heavenly Father even when we don’t know what the future holds. Why? Because we know who holds the future—   It's easy to compare yourself to other parents and set unrealistic expectations that make you doubt you’re doing what pleases God. You need hope and encouragement to help you find a new place to start on the days you're tempted to quit!Sharing vulnerable stories of their own struggles and doubts, the Copeland’s will talk to you about Staying confident in God in a sea of fear and uncertainty — because it’s hard.God is with us even in the uncertainty, the unknown, and the imperfect.

What do we do when the unexpected happens? Have we pondered to brevity of life lately? As we head into year 2022 here's a reminder.... Living knowing that your life is a vapor is different than just living. Things here are passing away. You’ve got to hold on to what will stand. Savor what matters. Life Is Short. Eternity Is Long. Live Like It. This may sound harsh, but it's true as night follows the day. You will exist forever. You and God are both in the universe to stay—either as friends on His terms, or enemies on yours—which it will be is proven in this life. And this life is a vapor. Two seconds, and we will be gone.In Today's short meditation, Rashawn Copeland will connect you to a fresh understanding of God and a renewed relationship with Him. You’ll find your faith stirred to make every day count for Christ when you consider life as a vapor.Time is precious. We are fragile. Life is short. Eternity is long. Every minute counts. Oh, to be a faithful steward of the breath God has given me. Three texts resound in my ears: “Redeem the time” (Ephesians 5:16 ); “It is required of stewards that one be found trustworthy” (1 Corinthians 4:2); “His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me” (1 Corinthians 15:10).
