In this episode, the we invite Lynn Roush, a licensed professional counselor, to discuss the topic of the dreaded F Word --- forgiveness. We explore the challenges and complexities of forgiveness, emphasizing that it is a divine act that goes against our natural human instincts. Forgiveness involves releasing someone from a debt they owe us, just as God forgives us. We also discuss the importance of acknowledging the pain caused and the role of repentance in the forgiveness process. We highlight the need to understand that justice is God's responsibility, not ours. The conversation concludes with the idea that forgiveness is an act of obedience and a gift that everyone wants to receive but no one wants to give. I FEEL THAT!

We dive into the concept of forgiveness. We explore the challenges and misconceptions surrounding forgiveness, emphasizing the importance of humility and genuine repentance. We also discuss the ongoing nature of forgiveness and how it is a daily choice. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the process of seeking forgiveness and the importance of humility and self-reflection.

As always, thanks for listening!! Love, Angie & Aric

In this episode, Aric and Angie discuss the challenges of living in a divided world and the importance of staying true to oneself. Not one person escapes this world without experiencing some type of division whether it's politics or personal events. They share their experiences of facing judgment and criticism for their beliefs and actions, particularly in relation to their advocacy for women's self-worth and gun safety. They emphasize the need to expand and grow, even if it means losing connections with people who don't understand or support their journey. The episode also highlights the signs and messages they continue to receive from their daughter, Hallie, which bring them comfort and strength.

Thanks for listening, Angie & Aric

Key Points:

• Living in a divided world can be challenging, but it's important to stay true to oneself and not let the judgments of others silence your voice.
• Advocating for important causes, such as women's self-worth and gun safety, may invite criticism and opposition, but it's crucial to continue speaking up and raising awareness.
• As you grow and expand, you may lose connections with people who don't understand or support your journey, but it's necessary for personal growth and fulfillment.
• Signs and messages from loved ones who have passed away can bring comfort and strength, reminding us that they are still with us in spirit.

In this episode of Blended Blessed and Always A Mess, the trial of Hallie Phillips is discussed. The hosts, Aric and Angie, share their experience and emotions leading up to the trial and the verdict. They clarify misconceptions about the criminal justice system and emphasize that they had no control over the charges or the trial process. The trial revealed the lack of "appreciation" for Hallie's life and the need for accountability. The guilty verdict provided some relief, but the pain and grief of losing Hallie remain. The episode ends with gratitude for the support and prayers from listeners.
