In this episode, we explore a fresh way of dealing with tension—both the kind we wrestle with internally and the kind that shows up in our relationships. Instead of trying to fix others or push our beliefs, we talk about the power of recognizing our own false identities and inviting healing from the inside out.

Rooted in the way of Jesus, this approach calls us to lead with compassion, not control. We also dig into how important it is to fully experience before we explain—letting raw emotions speak before we label them.

Along the way, we touch on the deep connections between personal, relational, and social struggles, and how validation—simply acknowledging someone’s reach for connection—can be a profound act of love.
