Have you ever had someone say just a few words, but they were so potent that they forever changed you?

Or maybe, you long for someone to express how much they care for you with the three words, "I love you."

The power of connection and words goes a long way with relationships. We are designed to have intentional bonds with those we love and to build each other up. Johnny does just that through his viral videos and is an example of how we can use our platform to inspire one another. Tune in today and be encouraged!

We've all been there...

We start going to a new church and fall in love! Everything seems practically perfect until.... a leader fails us.

Neglects our needs.

Ignores a problem.

Overworks us.

Gets caught up in the "celebrity complex," and so much more.

Tune in to my discussion with Paige about what can happen when leaders aren't good shepherds and Jesus radically takes over your life.

"Stop it, why do you always have to be so much?"

"I was a great parent, you had everything you needed."

"Stop crying, you're being such a baby."

"I'm not going to get all emotional, I provide food and shelter for you and that's more than enough."

Maybe you heard some of these expressions as a child from one or both of your parents and struggle today with finding your identity, security, raising your children and more.

Tune in to my discussion with Marie Selleck LMSW as we discuss what it means to have an emotionally negligent parent, the long-term effects and how you can achieve healing.
