🎧 PART 2 — VULNERABLE | The Wrong Words Podcast

Vulnerable — is it weakness, honesty, or a doorway to power? Oliver and Levon keep unpacking vulnerability: origins, cultural twists, and why the word often hides what we really mean. In this short episode they press into where vulnerability helps, where it harms, and what to say instead.

🧠 In this episode we explore:

• Origins and shades of vulnerable: Latin, French, Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic.
• Why Western usage turned honesty into a dangerous word.
• When vulnerability is safety, and when it’s exposure that stalls growth.

📚 We unpack:

• Definitions that paint vulnerable as weak vs. definitions that invite support.
• Scriptural grounding: 2 Corinthians 12:9 and strength in weakness.
• Practical language: replace buzzwords with clear asks (honesty, transparency, help).

💥 Key moments include:

• The “vulnerable vs. honest” swap and why it matters.
• Cultural origins showing vulnerability as exposure or need — not always weakness.
• How to create safety so honesty can land and healing follows.

🛠 You’ll walk away with:

• A clearer word to use instead of “vulnerable.”
• A quick prompt to ask for exactly what you need (who, what, when).
• A mindset shift: vulnerability as an entry point to grace, not a trap.
