"Elders by definition have a really well developed right brain skill set...they know how to model a secure attachment,...attune to others emotions even if they don't agree with what happened,...very good at seeing the gold in a person..." — Michel Hendricks
"Gentle Protectors are willing to share in the pain that they create...Predators want to put their pain on you so they don't feel any of it." — Jen Coursey
In this episode, we talk about where the Wilkes are seeing God's fingerprints in their community, and how they are practically creating opportunities for their community to experience real relational connection.
"We are told to love our neighbor as ourselves, but we are never told how to love ourselves...what we have learned through doing the Co-Labs with you, is what was intended... in how we were supposed to be cared for..." — Laran Wilke
"When we started developing those (relational) skills, and becoming more relational toward her, (our youngest daughter), we became Gentle Protector for her. " ~ Sylvia Snodgrass
Listen as they explain how Relational C0-Labs and its practices have brought them closer to God, themselves, and each other, how it has changed the way they connect to their adult kids, and how their kids have experienced their change.
One thing that Britton and Michelle noticed was that no matter where they encountered others on this journey, there was one common thread: the struggle to connect relationally with those close to them.
Britton and Michelle are helping pastors move from "managing the institution" to a more life-giving form of ministry, where your home is the hub for worship, discipleship, and mission.

Our mission is to help you live and grow in a Joy fueled, mature, healthy relationship with God, yourself, and others. This Podcast is an extension of our mission. We believe that God has designed us…
to live from Joy in a thriving community. We define Joy as - "the experience of the deep knowing that someone is glad to be with you no matter what." That is the good news. We believe that true spiritual formation, character transformation, and personal and spiritual resilience, happen in communities where attachment, belonging, and identity exist. In this Podcast we will explore topics and give practical tools that, when practiced, will strengthen relational health, making living in deeper, more meaningful communities possible where the lasting transformation we all long to see can flourish.
