“If we’ll stand in the light together, have fellowship with Jesus and with each other, then I can tell you the truth, and you can tell me the truth, and as we exchange the truth, we build this beautiful trust.” - Danny Silk

What does it mean to be powerful—as a person, in your relationships, and in your growth and development? Many of us might think of “powerful people” as strong, dominant, and maybe even aggressive, but truly powerful people are those who direct themselves in specific priorities, self-manage, choose love over fear, honor and respect others, and set healthy boundaries. These are people committed to glorifying Christ with their lives, and their health creates safety for others, flourishing relationships, and covenant connections. In this episode, Liz connects with Danny Silk, who is the President and Co-Founder of Loving on Purpose, a ministry to families and communities worldwide, as well as a Leader, and a bestselling author.

Throughout their conversation, Danny shares about how powerful people are made as they pursue health in the light of Christ’s example and love. He also discusses the way that fear attempts to remove us from health, and what we can do to re-empower love and connection in our lives over control and anxiety. Danny shares that, in our world today, there is some confusion around what true safety in relationship looks like. In true safety, we are able to show others who we really are accompanied by their desire and intentionality in pursuing understanding us, and that we are able to do the same for them. As this exchange takes place, we are able to build trust.

Danny also unpacks how vital it is for us to learn how to language our feelings rather than acting them out, citing the practice as a hallmark of true maturity and health. He reminds us that our journey is to become fearless in our relationships, and notes that it’s in the exchange of truth with one another that we experience freedom and intimacy.

As the conversation continues, Danny covers five keys for keeping your love on towards others, what codependency really is and how Jesus modeled healthy boundaries in relationship, and what it means to build towards covenant connections in our lives. We pray that as you listen to this conversation, that you would feel a stirring to pursue health, wholeness, and empowered living in your relationships, glorifying Christ and transforming the world through love.
