Description

Today's question: How do you genuinely love the people in your life who are the hardest to be around, without faking it or losing your cool?

Your messy adviser, Johan, brings both humour and honesty to the not-so-glamorous side of caring for others—especially when that “love your neighbour” call feels more like a workout than a warm hug. Drawing from both everyday stories and biblical wisdom, the conversation invites listeners to reflect on personality clashes, emotional labour, and the challenge of real connection in community. It’s a quick but candid chat for anyone who’s ever gritted their teeth while nodding politely, offering both empathy and thought-provoking questions for your own faith journey this summer.
