My grandma had all kinds of sayings and parables but this one referring to idle time was by far one of her favorites. These days, we find ourselves using the same phrase when speaking with each other and especially when talking to teenagers. As you know, when they get bored, they’re more likely to be idle and indulge in unproductive activities like surfing the internet, watching TV or playing video games.

We are often told that happiness is a choice. That's why we encourage people to "choose happiness" or "live your best life." But it's not that easy, right? No matter how simple the words may sound the action is not simple at all. Even if you want to be happy, you can't always make yourself feel good. There are plenty of reasons, legitimate reasons, why some people aren't happy: they may have bad relationships, they're in bad jobs or they're struggling with mental health issues. There are so many and too many to tackle in one episode, but we step in to discuss 3 of them.

The Church is supposed to be a safe space for the broken and wounded. The Church is supposed to be a place of healing for those wounded by others. The Church is supposed to be a place of peace for those wounded by life’s challenges. The Church is supposed to be a place where people can grow in their faith and experience God’s love and grace. But, sometimes that does not happen and in those instances, you can experience one of the ultimate pains of, “Church Hurt!”

Why do church folks give others a hard time for attending church only on Easter or other Holidays? The church has been around and available to all for thousands of years. It’s a place of worship, celebration, and inspiration. Unfortunately, it’s also a place where hurt and pain reside. There are people in the church who truly believe they are the holiest of them all and feel that gives them the authority to damage others mentally.

In this episode, we pit the age-old conversation of doing for your partner. When you're in a relationship, it can be easy to lose sight of what matters. To get caught up in the day-to-day and forget why you're together. Doing for each other is key as you both sacrifice to ensure the relationship keeps the love and respect. So why not, “Make daddy a sandwich”?

This episode dives into the generation gap between parents/grandparents and children being raised in the fast-growing technology world in which we live today. Not only is there a generation gap but there is also a communication gap. As a result, we are disconnected and isolated from engagement and also, what's going on in our teenager's world today. The generation gap is real and present; it’s not going away, so we have to figure out how to bridge this gap.

We have been married for 33 years, and we are still in love and consider each other to be our best friends. We have had our ups and downs, but we have always managed to get through it all. One very critical key for us was learning how to communicate with each other and understanding that communication is at the very heart of any relationship. We discussed everything from racism to religion. There are not too many subjects that are off the table for us, because we want to ensure we share our truths - even when it may be the hardest conversation to endure. Let’s get into it!
