Ep. 85: From ‘If He Wanted To, He Would’ to ‘Who Can We Trust?’ The Perfect Neighbor & Accountability

This week, we’re unpacking love, protection, and accountability. From how effort shows up in relationships, to the realities of parenting in an unpredictable world, to why honesty seems to be on life support in today’s society.

❤️ Forever Segment — Effort, Energy, and the Myth of Perfect Love

“If he wanted to, he would.” We’re breaking down this viral phrase and talking about what real effort looks like in marriage. How does social media shape our expectations of love? Should we ever compare our relationships to others? And how do you show your spouse love beyond words and likes?

🏡 Roots & Bloom Segment — Protecting Our Kids in a World Full of Neighbors

Inspired by Netflix’s chilling documentary The Perfect Neighbor, we reflect on parenting in a time when safety isn’t guaranteed, even close to home. How do we teach awareness without fear, and make decisions that prioritize our children’s security and well-being?

⚖️ Lifestyle Segment — America’s Accountability Problem

From politics to personal life, lying has become the national pastime. We’re asking why people keep denying the truth even when they’ve been caught, and how the “innocent until proven guilty” mindset affects our culture’s relationship with accountability and integrity.

Today we’ll be touching on: 

• Which Countries Would You Live In?
• Why & When Was Morse Code Created?
• If He Wanted To, He Would: A Deep Dive Into "Perfect Love" Culture
• Netflix's The Perfect Neighbor
• Caught Red Handed And Still Lying: America's Accountability Problem
