Description

Today's question: "I'm trying to love people well, but I often feel unsure if I'm doing it right. How do I know if I'm actually helping or just trying hard and hoping?"

Your messy adviser, Johan, takes listeners on a refreshingly honest journey through the awkward hugs, casserole drop-offs, and social faux pas that come with genuinely caring for others. With a dash of humour and a generous dose of grace, Johan explores the uncertainties of loving people well—especially when it feels less like a perfect act of service and more like fumbling forward in the dark. Expect relatable stories, biblical insight, and encouragement for anyone willing to keep showing up, even when caring gets chaotic. Pull up a patio chair, grab your Summer Speedo (the short episode kind), and laugh along as you wrestle with what it really means to journey with care.
