Conversations With Cinthia

What story do you long to live?  Today Cinthia tells part of her own story and discusses the way three strands of story braid together in our lives; these are the stories God is writing, the stories we keep trying to write, and the fairy tales of which we dream.  Join Cinthia to learn about the ways God has continued to write her story even when everything (including heart) was set against it, as well as to look at how God is writing your story and how you can more effectively cooperate with Him as the Author of your life.

The world is full of anxiety today, and it tends to prevent us from functioning optimally, being creative, and connecting with ourselves and each other. Negativity comes naturally to the human brain. Cinthia explores what it means to let God give us the peace Jesus left us as His parting gift -- His own peace, the peace He had on earth when He slept during the storm and faced soldiers in Gethsemane after sweating blood. Join Cinthia to look at what it means to open the gift and live it out.

Gratitude is a key to our spiritual and emotional health, and it can even impact our physical health.  But what does it look like on a practical level?  Why does it work so powerfully on the people who practice it?  How do we move toward gratitude when we are in the middle of tragedy or other painful circumstances?  Join Cinthia to explore the discipline of gratitude.
