Storm Warnings: Recognize the Triggers | Rev. Susan Sparks | MABC Sermon 9/28/25

In this sermon, “Storm Warnings: Recognize the Triggers. Rewrite the Story,” Rev. Susan Sparks continues our series on forgiveness, exploring the third step in the F.O.R.G.I.V.E. framework: Recognize the triggers. Drawing on insights from Socrates, the Weather Channel app, the Bible, and Viola Davis, Rev. Sparks invites us to pay attention to the storm warnings in our lives—the emotional triggers that can derail us. By noticing and naming them, we gain the power to rewrite our stories and step toward healing and forgiveness. This message is third in MABC’s seven-week F.O.R.G.I.V.E. series: Forgive, not forget Own your feelings Recognize the triggers (this week) Grieve the loss Intercessory prayers Vamoose from it Empty spaces: fill them with good things More at http://mabcnyc.org ▶︎ Instagram:   / mabcnyc   ▶︎ Twitter:   / mabcnyc   ▶︎ Facebook:   / mabcnyc   ▶︎ iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/m...
