Roundtable: How Your Family of Origin Affected You (Part 1)

Like it or not, we\\u2019ve all picked up patterns and proclivities from our family of origin. For some, what we learned was relatively good. For others, talking about our family background is painful. Our guests share the good, bad and ugly attitudes and habits they adopted from their families, as well as the lessons they\\u2019ve learned and the cycles they\\u2019ve broken by growing and changing. In part one this week, they tell their stories and share their observations about what was healthy and unhealthy in their childhood homes and relationships.

Culture: Using Words to Bless Others

The book of Proverbs says that \\u201ca word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver.\\u201d Knowing what to say when is a mark of a mature person as well as a mature Christian. Whether an encouragement, a rebuke, or a word of instruction, we\\u2019ve all been on the receiving end of words we needed to hear. Authors Cheryl Marshall and Caroline Newheiser have navigated many necessary conversations. They discuss insights from their book \\u201cWhen Words Matter Most\\u201d and help us discover ways to use words in different situations to bring blessing and healing.
