Beyond the Wedding

An abbreviated version of our class discussing the potential and pain related to our emotional needs.

In this episode we continue with a discussion of the Potential and Pain of emotional needs. The Needs Principle as discussed by Great Commandment Ministries is:

Needs met = healthy thoughts lead to positive emotions lead to productive behaviors/outcomes.

Needs unmet = unhealthy thoughts lead to negative emotions lead to unproductive behaviors/outcomes.

In this session we discuss those thoughts, thoughts we don't even realize we think because we move to feelings so quickly.

In this session we begin a discussion on the Needs Principle

• When relational needs are met it leads to healthy thing which in turn leads to positive emotions which in turn leads to positive behaviors and outcomes
• When relational needs are unmet it leads to unhealthy thinking which in turn leads to painful emotions which in turn leads to unproductive behaviors and outcomes.

In this session in particular, we talk about the pain we have experienced and how healing for that pain is essential if we are to have healthy relationships.

In this session we conclude our discussion on emotional needs - identifying what need is to be met and working toward meeting those needs. Let's look to develop our emotional IQ so we can identify those needs and help others feel less alone.

In this session we venture into emotional needs - identifying what need is to be met and working toward meeting those needs. Looking at our relationships we find ourselves becoming irritated at another's behavior when that behavior could simply be the reflection of a need that is not being met. Let's look to develop our emotional IQ so we can identify those needs and help others feel less alone.

Join us as we discuss the importance of humility and active listening in helping to remove the aloneness in another person. This podcast was inadvertently cut short but there are still some gems in there!

In this session we discuss the crisis of aloneness. When Adam was in the garden - even though he walked with God - God said it is not good for man to be alone. Even when in a marriage relationship, there are many that walk around feeling "alone". The cure to aloneness is intimacy. What prevents us from deeply knowing one another, initiating care and being vulnerable with one another? Listen in and share the journey with us.

We are moving into a fresh season, one that we trust will be filled with loving relationships with those in our circle of influence. Our goal is to prepare ourselves to be care-givers, defining that as God does, those who provide care for one another. This session opens the series in which we will be discussing key elements in caring for one another so we can truly love others as we love ourselves. It is time for active Great Commandment living!
