In this episode we talk about talking!  How do we use our words with wisdom and clarity, so that our communication styles foster a deeper connection in all our relationships, especially in a world where words are being used so poorly and angrily?  The New Testament calls this “speaking the truth in love”, and one of the foundational ways that we can do this is by learning to make direct requests.

In this episode there is a brief intro to what Respero is all about, and then we engage with a story that shows how Jesus interacts with a woman struggling with shame and isolation. Against all cultural norms and expectations, he treats her like a person of great value, worthy of love and belonging, and restores her to community.

In this episode we take a close look at the story of Peter’s massive failure, his emotional response, and then the beautiful encounter where Jesus restores their relationship and commissions Peter to change the world.
