Note: This episode contains some explicit language; listener discretion is advised.

After a relationship has ruptured, can there be repair? Dan and Rachael continue to talk through the cycle of friendship and the difficult process of reconciling a cherished friendship gone awry.

Dan asks, "How do you go how you trust someone who's already harmed you to open the door to desire? Because to do that feels like you're now taking on way more than the original wound. You're taking on that shame on you first time for hurting me, shame on me the second time that I actually opened myself to further harm by wishing and opening the door to reconciliation."

Rachael shares, "It really does take a radical kind of hope. It takes a radical kind of vulnerability, humility, patience."

Listen as they talk through their personal experiences of rupture and repair, and the wisdom we can find in Romans 12 to "be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer," as we move toward reconciliation and restoration.
