Zach (24) and Grace (19) join us on this episode to share how they are enjoying their relationship, trusting all the practical realities that grace offers.   When performance-obsessed cultures offer shame, grace offers freedom--even to fail.  Only in this freedom can we experience the fullness of God's love--and each other's love, too. Enjoy this life-giving conversation and linger in these BRAVE LOVE truths: <ul> <li>When I know that failure is an option--I'm not caught off guard.  I can remember the truth of my identity--and live from that truth.</li> <li>Knowing my identity in Christ isn't a ticket to being perfect, but it is a safety net when I'm not.</li> <li>I can be intentional about finding one or two key relationships that will remind me that it is safe to fail.</li> </ul> Join us on this episode and subscribe.  There is great hope.

#023: Free to Fail, A Conversation about Shame with Zach Maldonado

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.
