Quote of the Episode:

"And I was learning that God doesn't need me, that He meets needs. He allows me to be a part of things sometimes, but He doesn't need me, which was super important before I became a missionary, because obviously it's the whole kind of martyr syndrome that can happen pretty easily.” - Charlene

Join the Conversation :

Polarities or Paradoxes are tensions to manage, not problems to solve. You recognize them because they are both oppositional and depend on each other. We need Both/And thinking instead of Either/Or to help us navigate them.

Examples of Polarities are:

• Work and life
• Optimism and reality
• Self and other
• Structure and flexibility

Do you have polarities in your life or in your relationships, that you can identify? Let us know in comments, on social media or via email!
