Part 4 - Living Above the Bar: 12 Qualities the World Values and Expects to See in Believers

Watch Intro Video

In this final episode of the series "Living Above the Bar," Emerson explore three more key qualities the world values and expects to see in believers: Time Management (Time Is Money), Health and Wellness (You Are What You Eat), and Reflection and Restoration (You Cannot Pour From an Empty Cup). When Christians embody these traits, they enhance their credibility and witness to the world, reflecting a life transformed by faith. By managing time wisely, prioritizing health, and embracing moments of reflection, we can live above the bar and attract others to Christ.

A husband puts on love solely to get his wife to respect him. One pastor wrote Emerson and shared his concerns fearing this very thing: that husbands and wives will manipulate each other when applying love and respect based on Ephesians 5:33. Join Emerson and Jonathan this weeks as they discuss this topic.

What she is essentially saying is, because the intent is good, the means are justified, especially since it seems to work with her husband. Emerson and Jonathan respond in this week’s episode.

Are Wives HyperSensitive or Just Highly Sensitive to A Husband’s Unclear Comments?

Typically speaking, most husbands are assured of their wives love. Women are virtuous and excellent caregivers. Because of a wife’s loving and nurturing nature few men have an undercurrent of curiosity and insecurity about a wife’s love. Women love to love, and men know this. However, with many wives there is an undercurrent of curiosity and insecurity that they possess in their souls that their husbands do not possess: “Does he really love me as much as I love him?” Join Emerson and Jonathan this week as they discuss this topic. Husbands: If you use this information against your wife, claiming she is hyper-sensitive, and you say it in an unloving way, then you are in the fact the insensitive one.
