How Good Stress Grows You and Bad Stress Harms You

By Christian Ray Flores – Austin, TX, USA Not most of us, but all of us will experience stress throughout our lives. It’s woven into our existence whether we like it or not, like bad pop music. You can try to escape it; it will make its way into our ears. The trick is differentiating between good stress that grows you and bad stress that harms you. If we avoid all stress – we’ll never grow. If we tolerate bad stress – we’ll eventually hit a wall. If we keep tolerating it long-term – we end up with burnout. Today, I’ll unpack two powerful techniques to destress your life instantly, one of many I use to help people get unstuck and thrive for life. How is good stress good anyway? The apostle James seemed to think that good stress helps us grow. Since James was an apostle, I choose to agree with him and look to understand how this works. “Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested

You just need to forgive, right? - Andrew Kitchen

SPIRITUAL RENOVATION Fresh thoughts about following Jesus You need to forgive and move on. Right? Or maybe it’s actually very wrong. Someone has said terrible things to you, accused you, treated you harshly, possibly spiritually abused you in a church setting and now you are being told to forgive your perpetrator, because, … you know, forgiveness is what Christians are supposed to do. This scenario has played out on more than one occasion . It’s common! So how to deal with it when it comes your way? The first thing to recognize is that this kind of language is very simply an extension of the original abuse. It is a simple bid to excise the perpetrator from any repentance or restorative action. It’s a lot easier to trundle out these seven words than to perform any serious introspection. Hey, if it works five times out of ten it’s worth it. If it works one time out of ten it’s still worth it. Avoiding accountability for actions has a big payoff. But, holy smokes… the carnage. The damage.
