Send us a MessageHave you ever wondered what spills out when life bumps into you? In this deeply reflective episode, we explore the profound question: what's in your cup?Through powerful stories and honest conversation, we unpack how the contents of our inner lives determine our responses to life's challenges. When someone bumps into you and you spill coffee, you spill coffee because that's what was in your cup. Similarly, when life's pressures mount, what emerges from us reveals what we've been carrying inside all along.Kris shares a moving personal story about carrying the pain of a practical joke for nearly thirty years before finding healing through an unexpected act of forgiveness. Lisa offers the striking image of someone clinging to something dead and decaying on their shoulder – a powerful metaphor for how we sometimes hold onto emotional baggage long after it's stopped serving us.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we compare inner healing to computer maintenance. Just as we clean a hard drive and update software for better performance, we must examine what fills our emotional and spiritual cups, removing what hinders us and making room for what brings life. While we may never completely erase all fragments of painful past experiences, we can install new "software" through faith that helps us process those remnants differently.Science confirms what faith has long taught us – Johns Hopkins Medicine reports that forgiveness leads to lower blood pressure, reduced pain, better sleep, and decreased anxiety and depression. These tangible benefits underscore the importance of this inner work.Whether you're carrying decades of unprocessed hurt or simply feeling weighed down by life's daily stresses, this episode offers gentle wisdom for the journey toward transformation. As Romans 15:13 reminds us, may you "overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit" as you discover what truly deserves space in your cup.Support the showwww.acornchristian.org Follow us on Instagram!
