Today we discuss the benefits of friendship, how friendship elevates us to do things we never would otherwise, and how friendship helps us to get outside of ourselves. Friendship also helps us to see God better.

This weeks episode is about shame. We speak from our own experiences what it is, what happens when we feel it, and discussing our way out. We are really pleased with how the conversation went and feel it captures our journey. We pray it will bless you in yours.

Here’s an article we found helpful:

This week we take another line from the St. Francis Prayer. That God would grant us the ability to seek to love rather than to be loved. We can’t do this alone. We need each other and we need God to love in this way. Even then it’s still hard. We want to get better! _________________________https://www.1517.org/articles/enemies-with-benefits?token=7STuU-ghBeny4KBrj3dhVg4OFJen1K6e

This is a line from the St. Francis prayer, that we are notoriously bad at practicing. We are reaching out to one another and God for help because we need it. It’s painful to come to terms with these things but has been necessary for our growth.

This cast is about sharing where we wrestle with parenting and our own shortcomings. We have experienced the more we talk about these things and are honest with ourselves, this is where growth can happen. We hope our conversation benefits you as well.

This episode is all about contentment. We talk about our struggles to be content, but also the hope we have of finding that balance and experiencing peace._____________________Here is an article we reference a few times: https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/what_if_you_pursued_contentment_rather_than_happiness

In this episode we share our own struggles dealing with bitterness and resentment.

Today we talk about what to expect from our podcast. We hope we can be honest and vulnerable enough to help ourselves so that maybe we can be of service to others. A big thank you to our good friend Charles Dew who helped us out with some artwork.
