Cageless

In the age of social media, non-verbal communication, and long distance relations, some of us can't remember how to make or keep a real friend. But what is friendship? Really? In this episode I explore what I've learned in long distance friendships, barriers to friendship in adulthood and how to know it's time to break up.

How can you be an active participate in your life? How do we find freedom from traditional jobs, relationships and viewpoints? And why do we feel the need to conform to normal routines?

I'm talking all about anti-American ideals, French cooking and learning how to cultivate relationships with others, God and myself.

What, exactly, is forgiveness, and is honest forgiveness even possible? What we feel and what we think are two different things. How do we find it in ourselves to let God have the last word? I wasn't aware that I struggled with forgiving because it was never named. It was always expected in my Christian community. But now that I'm in the community of the world... I'm learning that I have to find out how to mean the words I choose to pray. In every language.
