After a new retreat, Deedra and Megan decide to share an old episode in order to offer a recap of the mini-retreats they've been hosting over the past year. Even with years of learning about the enneagram, they're both stunned at how there's always new revelation on each retreat. They also share their experiences of entering a healing journey with God. Sometimes it takes a dauntless grace to move forward in the process, but it's always worth it in the end. This podcast was recorded in July 2021, so the Colorado retreat has already occurred. But we still want you to be part of future weekends! To host a retreat in your community, visit dauntlessgrace.org.

There are a lot of places in our lives where we have to interact--friendships, marriages, church, events, social media--but what does it look to show up as our authentic selves and in vulnerability? Deedra and Megan talk about what transparency isn't, but as they talk, they begin to realize that authenticity and vulnerability always start with inner healing and wholeness. Where is one place where you can show up without those protective layers in order to serve someone else?

Galentine's Day is this weekend, so we wanted to use this time to talk about friendship! Friendship is weird, and there aren't a lot of great definitions for different types of friends. We spend some time defining what friendship is and what kinds of friends we need, and we use the book Big Friendship by Ann Friedman and Aminatou Sow as a resource. Also, we offer some practical tips for anyone looking and longing for a deep connection. But we also want to hear from you! How do you manage those Big Friendships?

Deedra and Megan have a conversation about dreams--not the dreams they have for the future, but the lay-your-head-on-the-pillow dreams they have at night. They don't claim to be experts, but they talk about dreams, how they've affected decisions before, and what it means when they think God is speaking to them through dreams.

Deedra and Megan discuss the concept of grace--how does it work in a practical way? How do we still try to earn it? They both share recent examples of times they've needed to find grace, both for themselves and from the Lord. But what if grace isn't just a band-aid of forgiveness; what if it's actually an invitation?

Megan and Deedra are coming at you live (except not live because they recorded this a few days ago) from a crazy road trip to Texas and back! This may be an episode without a real agenda, but they manage to cover the following topics: the list Megan created of things she wants to accomplish in her 40th year; the way Deedra completely geeked out over finishing The Making of Biblical Womanhood by Beth Allison Barr; and how Deedra and Megan use the question "what's the story I'm telling myself?" to keep conversations flowing, safe, and open.

Join Deedra and Megan as they talk about why it's so important to be self-aware as a leader since we are all leaders in some capacity. They go through all nine enneagram types and consider the strengths and drawbacks that are natural for each type, and they give some suggestions on how to improve or how to work with other types.

The Christmas season is one of awe, wonder, hope, and expectations, but it also holds the tension of exposing sadness, grief, longing, and loneliness. Whatever your circumstances are this season, there is an Emmanuel, God with us, who brings us a hope to carry us through the unmet expectations.
