Listen "T12 - Perspective "
Episode Synopsis
Join us as Edgar and I talk about the importance of our perspective and how the Bible helps us to have a good outlook in life despite what may be happening around us.
Perspective is important because it is how you view life and that around you.
Differentiation of self
“The ability to be in emotional contact with others yet still autonomous in one’s own emotional functioning is the essence of the concept of differentiation.” (Kerr & Bowen. 1988)
“Differentiation is a product of a way of thinking that translates into a way of being….Such changes are reflected in the ability to be in emotional contact with a difficult, emotionally charged problem and not feel compelled to preach about what others “should” do, not rush in to “fix” the problem and not pretend to be detached by emotionally insulating oneself.” (Kerr & Bowen 1988)
Understanding the conflict context you can have joy in the midst of uncertainty and troubles.
If you know God’s character, you can hope that He has good plans for you (Jeremiah 29:11-13)
Reality of this world: Hurt People, Hurt People
Don’t let a noun (person, place, or thing) take your joy.
“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!” (Philippians 4:4)
