JumpingN2Life®

Seasons come and Seasons go, but Season One of Jumpingn2life found its way into a Podcast Recap Episode. I have put together some of my favorite clips from each episode in this Recap of Season and hope that you enjoy them. Please look out for a Recap Episode of Season Two and new recorded episodes, which will kick off Season Three.  If you are new to Jumpingn2life Podcast, I encourage you to listen to the full length episodes of each Season.  And go to Jumpingn2life to support the podcast by purchasing books and show merchandise.  There, you  will also find a link to begin the search for mental health resources. And don't forget to subscribe to this channel so that you don't miss new episodes when they are posted.  Because it takes courage and a willingness to share personal trials and tribulation, literally to the world, it is challenging to book guests who are that comfortable doing so. Thus, episodes are not posted as frequently as you or I would like. But please note, when an episode is posted it's because of those who chose to share their stories with you. So, please applaud those who had agreed to come on Jumpingn2life and support their endeavors. Please review each episode's description for more information on how to support those guests' projects. WARNING: There is commentary regarding suicide in this episode.

Often times the price of forgiveness comes with a heavy emotional cost, but that cost is a price that you don't have to bare alone. Why, because forgivng the wrongdoer doesn't benefit that individual. Forgiveness is a part of the healing process and the first step towards showing God that you too are worthy of His grace and mercy. When we forgive those who are undeserving of our forgiveness we are saying to them, although you physically hurt me or spoke words of despair to me, I know that God will remove me from my current circumstance because I know that He is a just God and that He is with me. Forgiving is not for anyone else’s benefit, but yours. Just as we ask God for His grace and mercy when we do things that are displeasing in His eyes, we must also be willing to give grace and mercy to those whose actions are displeasing to our own eyes. Pastor Freeman speaks truth regarding the difficulty of forgiving, but most importantly he also offers guidance on how to do so in such a way that's palatable; my word not his, lol.

Socrates is attributed with writing “the unexamined life is not worth living.” What that means to me is a life not challenged by adversity is a life suffering from malnutrition of the soul.

Understanding that helps us to see beyond the fog of life and into the center of our being where clarity lives. Otherwise, we are doomed to live life in fractured pieces.
