#017: It's Not About Messing Up -- Look up child, part 3

Family was meant to be a place of belonging, not behavior management. But too often, fear hijacks our relationships—driving us toward control, compliance, and exhaustion instead of trust, connection, and transformation. The LOVE IS FEARLESS podcast invites you into a new way of being with your family—one that breaks free from survival mode and rediscovers the lost art of being family. 

Join Janet and Doug Newberry, founders of John 15 Academy, as they explore what it means to create a home where love leads, trust replaces control, and transformation happens in the safety of secure relationships. Through honest conversations, real-life stories, and biblical wisdom, they'll help you navigate parenting, marriage, and community with a renewed sense of freedom, joy, and purpose.  

This isn't about doing more or getting it right—it's about learning to abide in love, because love is what truly changes us.
