Breaking Generational Patterns

by

How to Break Free from Your Past

Listen to the podcast or watch on YouTube.

We do not have to live our lives stuck in patterns we may not even fully understand. We aren’t alone in the search for the root of our pain, and we don’t have to go into what can be a painful experience alone. 

Christ is before us, behind us, and with us. Ask Him to lead you to the pain of your past to allow for genuine and real healing. As we seek Him, we can understand our own hearts and the triggers they have.

We have a lot to relearn, a lifetime of lies and deep-rooted pain, but the power of the cross transcends through time to right those wrongs and confront those lies. 

God’s love is not afraid of where you’ve come from. 

No matter how toxic, He does not see you as too far gone… 

You are simply and wonderfully HIS. 

In today’s teaching message, discover how to let God’s love reclaim your heart and mind to break generational patterns. One day at a time, one step at a time, you can leave blessings in your wake for generations to come. 

ONWARD!

What is a Victim Mentality?

by

What Does the Bible Say About a Victim Mentality?

Hello friend,

There was a time when my repeated loss and trauma had polluted my perspective, shoving a victim lens over my eyes. My victim viewpoint was not only the filter through which I made decisions—it had become my identity.

But everything changed when God came for my heart. I saw the truth. I stopped resisting God and I resisted the enemy instead. BOOM!

While our losses may look different, they always leave tender voids that impact how we live. The enemy loves to capitalize on our loss and sow lies in our hearts. Lies about ourselves and God, to disrupt our intimacy with the Lord. So that we resist receiving His help instead of resisting the enemy. 

But the truth of God is FOR YOU. You are not left holding this loss alone! Find a mustard seed of faith to plant. From there you will experience life lifted out of the ashes of your past through Jesus, your Kinsman Redeemer!

In today’s message, we will answer these questions:

  • What is a victim mentality?
  • Where does this come from?
  • What other ways can the enemy create a mindset to sabotage your healing?  

God can bring light to expose those dark lies and ignite hope. By walking in faith through His Word one day at a time, we will have a new perspective for beginning again. Loss is temporary, but the Word of the Lord is eternal and has the creative power to bring new life. To God be the glory!

You can start that journey today. Listen to today’s message, part two, from chapter one of the book of Ruth.  

It’s time for your new chapter! 

ONWARD!

Redemption

by

Codependency and Grieving Loss

Hello there beautiful soul,

While all loss is difficult; loss as the result of someone going outside of God’s design to meet their needs to the detriment of yours, is devastating. This is because when you are left holding the consequences of someone else’s choices – the loss is compounded. 

And the damage that gets dumped into your lap is not fair…

You didn’t ask for these empty hands. 

You didn’t deserve the loss.

And now you feel vulnerable, powerless, and insecure. 

While it’s unfair, God stands ready to restore the loss so you can move forward. But you must take his hand. For God, not the person who caused the loss, is the healer. You are a child of God and loss is never the end of your story. Jesus is your Kinsman redeemer; his restoration goes beyond what you could have imagined.

Today, we begin a three-part series on God’s restoration from the first chapter of Ruth. Naomi loved deeply and lost greatly but eventually found hope and saw a harvest of restoration. 

And with God’s help, you can find hope and see restoration as well.

So listen to today’s message, discover the first courageous choice to begin redemption, and prepare to heal and move forward.  

ONWARD!

Love,

Aliene

Irrational Thoughts

by

How Do I Stop Irrational Thought?

Hi there,

Today was a hard-hitting, yucky thought day. Worry and fear danced in my mind as my inner dialog grew irrational; attacking me with aggressive arrows of lies related to a past hurt.

The enemy went after healed ground.   

My shield of faith felt too heavy to lift against those attacking arrows.

It’s hard enough to deal with irrational thoughts. When you feel discouraged for having those thoughts in the first place, this secondary struggle just adds insult to injury.  I was feeling defeated, insecure, and downright frustrated.   

I then recalled a powerful truth a mentor once shared with me that fanned the smoldering ember of my faith into a burning flame. “The power of the cross breaks every chain that the enemy attempts to wrap around your thoughts.” You see, the enemy of your soul is not creative. He is the opposite of our Creator. So when we are reminded of past hurts, it is only Satan up to the same old tricks he has been using since the garden.  

Is the enemy attacking your thoughts? He is playing those games because he knows the God-given potential you hold. 

In today’s message, find what you need for faith-filled thoughts that will lead to a life of purpose and freedom.

Ready? Let’s go! Treasured Ministries is on this journey with you—every bold, beautiful, brave step at a time. 

ONWARD,

Aliene

Prioritizing Your Mental Health with Hannah Dodson

by

Practical Ways to Boost Your Mental Health

Too often we tend to prioritize our physical health and well-being, but we put our mental health on the back burner. And it can be easy to neglect our mental health because it isn’t always evident on the outside like when we have physical ailments.

Well, in today’s episode we are wrapping our mental health series and are talking about ways to boost your mental health, so that you can nurture your mind as well as your body! My guest Hannah Dodson and I have both walked through seasons where we have struggled with our mental health, and we are passionate about educating ourselves on ways we can continue to improve and boost our mental health. In this episode, we are sharing what we are doing to prioritize our mental health and we are excited to share them with you today.

Self-Care Strategies with Dr. Holly Spotts

by

How to Pour Out to Others From a Full Cup

For years I lived out of frustration instead of fullness – because my codependency told me it was not ok to rest. I actually felt shame and religious guilt about self-care. All my people-pleasing left me worn out, resentful, and sadly NOT loving others as God intended. Agape love is not something we can manufacture; we must receive it from our Maker to be able to give REAL love to others. Pausing to rest is a part of this process. Self-care is not only biblical and beneficial for our mental health, but it also allows us to live a more selfless life. Clinical psychologist Dr. Holly Spotts specializes in therapy for women who are over-functioning, anxious, and people-pleasing. In the Live Treasured Podcast last week, Dr. Spotts shared five barriers to self-care. Join me today for part two and discover three practical steps you can take to overcome these five barriers. Ready to pour out to others from a full cup and live with joy and love as God intended? Join us!

Dr. Holly Spotts, a Clinical Psychologist, is the owner and founder of Full Cup Wellness, an entirely virtual private practice serving women in California, Mississippi, and Florida. Specializing in women’s mental health, Dr. Holly Spotts helps women discover their authentic selves and create deeply fulfilling lives they love.

Five Barriers to Self-Care with Dr. Holly Spotts

by

Opening Up the Gift of Genuine Rest

Someone may have told you that self-care is selfish or not biblical– but that’s not true. You might think as I did, that self-care is a bubble bath, but real self-care goes deeper than just an event. God rested on the 7th day after creation. He wove a day of rest into the weekly rhythm of life inside the 10 commandments by commanding a Sabbath day of rest. He called this rest – a gift. ANY gift God gives us, like joy or peace or rest – the enemy loves to steal with his lies that create barriers to God’s blessing. But when you shed light on those barriers and become aware of those lies, they lose their power, and you can begin to live as God intended. For these reasons, we’ve invited Dr. Holly Spotts, a clinical psychologist specializing in women’s mental health, to be our guest today on the Live Treasured Podcast. Listen to today’s podcast, and discover five barriers to self-care, defeat the enemy and pour out to others from a full cup. 

Dr. Holly Spotts, Clinical Psychologist, is the owner and founder of Full Cup Wellness. She specializes in therapy for women who are over-functioning, anxious, and people-pleasing. She helps them discover their authentic self and create deeply fulfilling lives they love.

Your Child’s Mental Health with Michelle Nietert, MA, LPC-S

by

How to Raise Mentally Healthy Kids

If your child is struggling with their mental health, you are not alone. Sadly many women feel this way because of shame produced by mental health stigmas – especially inside the church. In addition, the enemy heaps condemnation on top with such lies as  – you failed as a parent. NO MORE! When we shed light on this topic by talking about it, mothers find encouragement, hope, and help in God’s way. For these reasons, I invited Michelle Nietert to be our podcast guest during our May Mental Health Podcast Series. She is passionate about helping children address their mental health, and one of the ways she does this is by coming alongside parents with her podcast Raising Mentally Healthy Children. Michelle’s podcast is such an INCREDIBLE resource for parents! As a mental health professional for 25 years, author and speaker, Michelle invites her strong faith in God and her professional wisdom to the table to collaborate, providing biblical help you can trust for both parents and children. Today, we are honored to have her on the Live Treasured Podcast. Listen and share with other momma bears who would benefit! We will not hide anymore! LET’S DO THIS!
