#124 - Nevertheless Parenting: From Gap to Gain Through Christ and Atomic Daily Discipleship By TJ Rowden, PhD, CMHC

Published: June 16, 2022, 4:09 a.m.

TJ Rowden\u2019s message today helps us see and understand that \u201cThe battle today, between Babylon and Zion, is being waged between the synapses of our brains.\u201d

\n

What exactly does that mean? It\u2019s where the focus of our brain is. TJ teaches us that if we compare where we are now and measure it to the IDEAL, we will experience feelings of failure, frustration, disappointment, low self-esteem, and depression.

\n

However, if we measure our circumstance from where we began to where we are now, we will gain feelings of Success, Fulfillment, Confidence, High Self-Esteem, Enjoyment and Optimism.

\n

Sometimes it\u2019s hard to see why 1% increase makes any difference. TJ teaches us the difference of Guilt vs Shame.

\n

\u201cJesus had not finished his work when his body was slain, neither did he finish it after his resurrection from the dead; Although he had accomplished the purpose for which he then came to the earth, he had not fulfilled all his work. And when will he? Not until he has redeemed and saved every son and daughter of our father Adam that have been or ever will be born upon this earth to the end of time\u2026That is his mission. We will not finish our work until we have saved ourselves, and then not until we shall have saved all depending upon us; for we are to become saviors upon Mount Zion, as well as Christ.\u201d

-President Packer, October 1995, \u201cThis Brilliant Morning of Forgiveness\u201d

\n

\u201cIf for a while the harder you try, the harder it gets, take heart. So, it has been with the best people who ever lived\u2026 So keep loving. Keep trying. Keep trusting. Keep believing. Keep growing. Heaven is cheering you on today, tomorrow, and forever.\u201d
