“No issues touch us more profoundly or more universally. No themes are more inseparably intertwined. No topics caused more controversy. No human realities have greater power to bless or to curse. No three things have been sought after or more in need of a Christian response: money, sex, and power. — Richard Foster, from Challenge of the Disciplined Life: Money, Sex, and Power
We are continuing the conversation today with Steve and Special guest Hayne Steen - “The Trap of Money, Sex, and Power, Part 2”

Proverbs 12:15 (NIV)
Proverbs 15:22 (NIV)
Family of Origin exercise - 6 questions:
What were the negative characteristics that you experienced in your caregiver (In the growing up years when you were just being formed)? Whether that was a mom, dad, or a grandparent that was charged with your care.
What were the positive characteristics that you experienced in that caregiver?
What were the unmet needs that went unmet. Like, what were the needs that you had, like physical, emotional, spiritual, that just did not get met?
What were the words that never were said, that needed to have been said over you that you long to hear?
When we think back on positive experiences in your family: vacations weekends, special birthdays, holidays--positive experiences in the family, what were the warm emotions that you felt in that season?
When things were not going well in the family; when things were blowing up; when things were breaking down—How did you cope? Where would we find you? What did you do?
