Moody RadioBaggage has gotten a bad rap. We think it's all bad. We think it makes us less likely to have good, healthy relationships today. But baggage isn't just the bad stuff that happened to us in the past. It's the lessons we've taken from the pain we carry. It's how what we've been through has actually made us stronger and more capable than we imagine. And it's how we're going to make our current relationships work. Far from minimizing past pain, our guest will show you how to go through the baggage you carry from a difficult childhood and pull out the good stuff. The intentionality you've developed. The empathy you've gained. The trust you value so highly. He will share his own past in a dysfunctional family impacted by alcoholism and divorce, and his present as part of a healthy and loving family, to illustrate how to stop letting your past sabotage your present.
It’s time for one of our favorite conversations. We open the phone lines this hour to take any questions you have on the subject of spiritual warfare. Is the Devil real? Does he know our thoughts? Can Christians be demon-occupied? Does someone have to pray a specific prayer to drive a demon out of someone? How do we know when someone is possessed? These are just a few of the kinds of questions we will answer during today’s broadcast. Come with your questions but call in quickly. The lines stay lit for the entire hour!
