  • 252: Experiencing Radical Love Through Safe Community

    There are seasons in all of our lives where we feel so broken that we're willing to do almost anything to stop the pain. For many of us, being willing to allow love to have an impact on us is often the last thing we want to do. The exposure we feel when we begin to trust others with our stories, and our hearts, can feel so terrifying that it seems nearly impossible to say yes to. But what happens when we feel so safe in a community that we choose to risk letting our walls down?

    In this episode Abi sits down with two unlikely friends, Ryan and Phillip, an oil field worker and an environmentalist, to discuss how they found common ground in a wildly diverse community. The two share their journey of learning how to be their most authentic selves through letting others love them. Ryan opens up about his tragic loss and Phillip shares the story of his near death experience in heaven that forever changed the way Ryan sees life.

    This episode will leave you in tears as you hear how a community of kind and loving people can create a safe enough environment to redeem even the most broken circumstances. You WON'T want to miss out!

  • 250: Creating Clarity in Relationships

    For many of us, when considering letting people into our lives, they're either all in or all out. Progressively letting people into our hearts is rare and when we do gradually let them in, we rarely have clarity on the terms governing the relationship. Because of this we can often feel anxious or easily betrayed, but what if the connections we build could be created around more deliberate conditions?

    In this episode Justin and Abi explore the reasons they let people close to them, how they navigate setting expectations for others and themselves, what they do when a relationship needs adjusting, and how clarity creates a lifestyle of stability.

    If you want to feel powerful in relationships, while expressing a heart of love and care for others, this episode is a must!

  • 245: Relational Attraction with Doctor Ruth

    Our attraction to others can often feel confusing and complicated. For many of us it's easy to judge ourselves for the things we don't understand about our desires.

She shares how attraction is so much more than the limited view that culture has painted.

    If you're wanting a better understanding of yourself, and the way you romantically connect in relationships, this episode will help you have a more healthy approach and a perspective that will help break shame. Don't miss out!

  • 243: The Art of Curiosity

    We all desire a life filled with healthy connections. Unfortunately, the way we relate to others stops us from having the fulfillment we hope for. Oftentimes we assume the intent of other's words, actions, and decisions. These judgements leave massive room for misinterpretation, creating chaos and disconnection. But what if something as simple as curiosity could restore working relationships, friendships, families, and marriages?

    In this episode Justin and Abi explore reasons as to why we often lean towards assumptions rather than curiosity. They discuss how our interpretation of the emotional energy people emit isn't always indicative of their thoughts, feelings, and actions. They share ways our assumptions may not only be incorrect, but also damaging to ourselves and others. Together they paint a picture of how curiosity can be a breeding ground for grace, where healing and love can abound.

    If you're wanting to foster a life of love, vulnerability, and intimacy, this episode will give you a major building block to create the foundation you need!
