With all the conflicting relationship advice floating around, like “you shouldn't need your partner” versus “you should be able to lean on them emotionally”, it's no wonder couples feel confused about what a healthy marriage really looks like. In this episode we unpack the real difference between codependence, hyper independence, and interdependence and why understanding where you and your partner fall on this spectrum could change everything. We also share our own journey through these patterns and explore how they show up in daily life, especially in conflict, under stress, and when you're trying to get your needs met. If you've ever felt too needy, too shut down, or just unsure how to stay connected without losing yourself, this episode is for you. We'll walk you through the signs, the shifts, and the steps to build a partnership that feels secure and sustainable without giving everything away here.   Relationship Resources Grab our 3 Guides Bundle for deeper connection and conflict repair Includes: • The Family Meeting Guide • The De-Escalating Conflicts Guide • The Making Up and Moving Forward Guide These tools will help you communicate clearly, reconnect after conflict, and stay united through life's toughest moments.

Who am I? From the Buddhist perspective, there's a systematic way of asking this question of who you are in the form of a meditation on the ultimate nature of the self, or "emptiness." This meditation is said to be the strongest antidote to our disturbing states of mind and a cause for greater self-awareness, happiness, and connection with others.Episode 43: Guided Meditation — The Interdependent SelfSupport the show

In this conversation, Phil and Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg discuss the concept of Lighthouse Parenting, a metaphor that emphasizes the importance of being a stable and guiding presence in a child's life. Dr. Ginsburg explains how this approach balances love and protection while allowing children to take healthy risks. They explore the role of adults in modeling behavior, the impact of stress and anxiety on children, and the challenges posed by technology and social media. The discussion highlights the need for emotional vulnerability in adults and the importance of fostering interdependence in future generations.   Lighthouse Parenting is about balancing love and protection. Role modeling is crucial for children to take healthy risks. Children need stable relationships to thrive emotionally. Stress is a significant factor in unhealthy risk-taking. Preparation is a form of protection for children. Overprotection can lead to anxiety in children. Social media has both positive and negative impacts on youth. Emotional vulnerability in adults fosters connection with children. Teaching basic human connection is essential before introducing technology. Interdependence is key to raising secure and confident children.

This week I reflect on a recent visit to Hanoi, Vietnam, and how a simple experience of crossing the street turned into a very healing and eye-opening lesson in trust and interdependence. We'll talk about how in the US, when it comes to navigating traffic and driving, we are taught to assume we are invisible. Drive defensively. Cross streets assuming no one sees you. In Hanoi, it was the opposite. If you wanted to do something as basic as cross the street, you have to assume you would be seen, and that people cared and would take care. I was able to literally walk into oncoming traffic amongst strangers - something we can't do in many industrialized growth societies like the US. We explore the vulnerability and beauty of how humans can move through chaos together when we come from a place of interdependence and interbeing.You will learn:// What is possible when we embrace interdependence and the fact that we are connected to everything// The gifts that taking risks by being vulnerable and trusting others can bring to us (while using discernment, of course!)// How we can find healing in interdependence and trust in one another// Why so many industrialized growth societies are so far from interdependent interbeing, and how we can offset thatResources:// Episode 190: Islands of Sanctuary – Being a Refuge for Your People// If you're new to the squad, grab the Rebel Buddhist Toolkit I created at RebelBuddhist.com.

It's not an either/ or proposition, it's both! There are areas where you definitely have to pull you own weight but often, much more often than you may think, we are supposed to help each other through life. Today, we are thinking about self-reliance and interdependence for disciples of Jesus. Welcome to Run With Horses! My name is Norman and my goal is to help you thrive as a follower of Jesus. The spiritual life is simple in many ways, but potentially the most difficult part of your life. God invites you to grow, to live intentionally and to join in His mission. It's very cool that we can do that together! Thank you for joining me today! “If you're new here, you can check out past episodes at runwithhorses.net. As always, I appreciate your feedback, questions, and reviews!” **(23:00 – 0:00)* * PART 1 B. Overview Scripture calls believers to cultivate personal accountability (self-reliance) while actively engaging in a community of faith (interdependence). Key Themes: Biblical foundations for self-reliance in areas like personal spiritual growth, work, and stewardship. Scriptural mandates for living in community, bearing one another's burdens, and using spiritual gifts for the common good. C. Context Emphasize believer's individual responsibility before God. Highlight the importance of local church fellowship as a way of fulfilling our mission together. D. Today I want you to consider: What does “self-reliance” mean in your personal walk with Christ? How do you see interdependence playing a role in your local church or community? II. Self-Reliance in the Christian Life A. Definition and Biblical Context Self-reliance: Cultivating personal responsibility in one's faith, work, finances, and spiritual growth, recognizing that while God provides strength, He also calls us to be diligent stewards of our lives. B. Passages on Self-Reliance Proverbs 6:6-8 (NKJV): “Go to the ant, you sluggard; Consider her ways, and be wise. Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, Provideth her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest.” Encourage proactive effort and preparedness in everyday life. In what areas of your life can you emulate the ant's industriousness? Galatians 6:4-5 (NKJV): “But let each one examine his own work, and then he shall have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For each one shall bear his own load.” Highlight the importance of personal evaluation and responsibility. How can you take ownership of your spiritual growth while avoiding pride? Philippians 4:13 (NKJV): “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Emphasize that personal achievement is rooted in Christ's strength working through us. How does relying on Christ's strength change your approach to personal challenges? C. Practical Steps Self-Examination: Encourage daily devotional practices and self-reflection. How are you taking responsibility for your life now? What practical actions show that you are serious about your spiritual life and responsibilities before God? Personal Responsibility: Discuss setting goals in prayer, work, and study. Where do you need to be more proactive? Are the basics covered? Are you seeking out ways to intentionally pursue godliness in your life? How, Where, When? Is it on your calendar and in your budget? Stewardship: Explore biblical principles of managing finances, time, and talents responsibly. Do you recognize the accountability that you have before God in the decisions you make? What does that look like? **(00:00) END PART 1** **(27:00 – 5:00) BEGIN PART 2** III. Interdependence in the Body of Christ A. Definition and Biblical Context Interdependence: Recognizing that while believers are called to personal responsibility, they are also part of a larger, unified body where mutual support, accountability, and service are essential. B. Passages on Interdependence 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 (NKJV): “For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ...” Illustrate how each believer has a unique role that contributes to the health of the whole body. Which “spiritual gifts” do you see in your life that benefit the community, and how can you serve more effectively? Where and how are you living out this ‘Body Life' of the church? Sunday morning worship service is NOT enough. Are you intentionally seeking fellowship and investing in the life of your church family. Are you inviting them into your life? Small groups, one on one meetings, microchurch gatherings in public and homes. Galatians 6:2 (NKJV): “Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” Stress the call to support one another in times of difficulty. How have you experienced God's provision through the help of others? How can you extend that help? Ephesians 4:15-16 (NKJV): “But, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ. From whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every joint with which it is equipped, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.” Emphasize mutual edification and the organic growth of the church as a family of believers. In what ways can you contribute to the spiritual growth of your church family? Intentionality is Key. C. Application and Practical Steps Fellowship and Community: Discuss the importance of small groups, church ministries, and accountability partnerships. Doesn't happen accidently. Serving Others: Outline practical opportunities for service in the local community and the global church. Local church, neighbor church, etc. IV. Integrating Self-Reliance and Interdependence Recognizing the Balance Christians are called to be proactive and responsible stewards of their own lives (self-reliance) while also fully engaging in the support system provided by the Church (interdependence). James 2:14-17 (NKJV): “What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? … Thus faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” Faith must be expressed both individually and collectively. How does your personal faith inspire you to serve the community, and in turn, how does community service strengthen your personal walk with Christ? How do you maintain personal discipline while remaining open to community guidance? “In what specific ways will you take responsibility for your personal growth this week, and how will you actively engage with your faith community?” **(5:00 – 1:00)** Doctrine Today Jesus and His Present Ministry The Holy Spirit's Role in Disciple Making. Dispensational Baptist view of the End Times Understanding Theology is Important The Gospel and Ongoing Disciple Making Church Role in Discerning God's Will Barriers to Disciple Making 1. Lack of Intentionality Unclear Vision: Often, churches and individual believers may not have a clear, intentional vision or plan for disciple making. Without concrete goals, training, and accountability measures, disciple making can become an incidental outcome rather than a strategic priority. Scriptural Neglect: Some ministries may focus heavily on evangelism while underemphasizing the lifelong process of nurturing, teaching, and mentoring new believers. This disconnect from the biblical mandate (e.g., Matthew 28:19-20) can lead to a superficial understanding of discipleship. 2. Cultural Individualism Self-Reliance Over Community: Modern Western culture often emphasizes personal autonomy and self-reliance, which can contrast sharply with the biblical call to community (1 Corinthians 12:12-27). This individualism makes it more challenging to create environments where believers willingly submit to accountability, mentoring, and mutual growth. Reluctance to Invest in Others: The desire for personal achievement and success may lead some to undervalue the long-term commitment required to disciple others, rather than focusing on immediate personal benefits or social status. 3. Time Constraints and Busyness Competing Priorities: In today's fast-paced society, individuals often struggle to balance work, family, and ministry responsibilities. This busyness can leave little room for the deep, personal interactions required for disciple making. Over-Scheduled Lives: Constant digital engagement and overloaded schedules can lead to shallow relationships that lack the depth needed for transformative discipleship. 4. Lack of Effective Leadership and Training Insufficient Leadership Development: Effective discipleship requires mentors who are themselves mature in their faith and skilled in relational dynamics. A shortage of trained leaders who can intentionally mentor others is a significant barrier. Inadequate Resources: Churches may not invest adequately in training programs or create robust systems for leadership development, resulting in missed opportunities to equip believers for disciple making. 5. Digital Distractions and Superficial Engagement Impact of Technology: While digital media offers innovative outreach tools, the overreliance on online interactions can lead to more shallow, transactional relationships that lack the depth and accountability found in face-to-face mentoring. Social Media Culture: Constant engagement with social media may foster a culture of immediacy and quick approval, which can detract from the slow, formative process of true disciple making. 6. Fear of Judgment and Vulnerability Relational Barriers: Discipleship involves vulnerability and accountability. Many believers may be reluctant to share their struggles or admit weaknesses due to the fear of judgment or rejection by peers. Cultural Stigma: In both church settings and the broader society, there can be stigma associated with showing vulnerability, leading individuals to hide their need for growth rather than seeking relational support. 7. Theological Misunderstandings Misconceptions About Grace and Works: Some may mistakenly view discipleship as a checklist of rules or a set of actions rather than a transformative process fueled by the Holy Spirit. This can lead to legalism on one end or laxity on the other. Lack of Depth: Without a robust, well-balanced teaching on both grace and discipline, believers can misunderstand the essence of discipleship, which involves both receiving God's unmerited favor and engaging in the process of sanctification. 8. Resource Limitations and Institutional Challenges Financial and Infrastructural Constraints: Smaller churches or those in economically challenged areas might lack the resources to create comprehensive discipleship programs. Budget constraints, limited venues for small groups, or lack of access to quality teaching materials can impact effectiveness. Institutional Resistance: Sometimes, long-standing institutional practices can resist change, making it difficult to adapt or innovate new methods for effective disciple making. **(1:00)**   As we follow Jesus there is a need to do our part and help others along the way. Engaging in the life of the church family often benefits you more than you expect, in ways that you don't expect. The Body of Christ, when operating as it should helps you to grow and gives you opportunities to invest in helping others to grow. Your gifts are needed just as you need the gifts of others.   – “Thank you for listening today! -If you enjoyed the show you can listen to all the past shows wherever you listen to podcasts.

Because God builds his kingdom through partnership in the gospel, we must build relationships based on giving and receiving. Philippians 4:14–19 (ESV): 14 Yet it was kind of you to share my trouble. 15 And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving, except you only. 16 Even in Thessalonica you sent me help for my needs once and again. 17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your credit. 18 I have received full payment, and more. I am well supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. 19 And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Most women going through divorce don't realize they've been living in codependent relationships, desperately seeking external validation rather than trusting their inherent worth. In this transformative episode, I introduce you to a powerful reframing of codependence as "emotional outsourcing" as coined by Beatriz Victoria Albina - the habit of chronically seeking our sense of value from everyone and everything outside ourselves. This pattern didn't emerge from nowhere. From girlhood, we're conditioned to believe our purpose is making others comfortable, prioritizing everyone else's needs, and feeling guilty when we put ourselves first. The devastating message? You're not complete until you fulfill your "duties" as a woman. This harmful programming creates the belief that you're somehow broken or unworthy - especially when your marriage ends. Here's the liberating truth: We can replace emotional outsourcing with a deep, unshakable knowledge of our inherent worth. But contrary to what you might think, the goal isn't complete independence.

In this episode of the Family Biz Show, host Michael Palumbos is joined by executive coach and author Cathy Carroll to explore the emotional and strategic tensions unique to leading a family-owned business. Drawing on personal experience and her new book Hug of War: How to Lead a Family Business with Both Love and Logic, Cathy reveals how families can navigate leadership challenges, intergenerational conflict, and complex relationship dynamics with clarity and compassion. The conversation dives deep into the concept of polarities—opposing truths that both carry value—and how recognizing them can transform everything from governance decisions to estate planning. Cathy and Michael discuss critical tensions like fairness vs. equality, tradition vs. innovation, structure vs. flexibility, and revealing vs. concealing wealth. Through real-life stories, including Cathy's own journey of working with her father, they unpack how forgiveness, intentional leadership development, and healthy conflict can strengthen families and businesses alike.   Takeaways  Family businesses must manage emotional and operational polarities—there is rarely one right answer. Governance should be structured, but flexible enough to evolve with the family's needs. Fairness doesn't always mean equality—especially when it comes to compensation and ownership. Healthy task conflict can drive innovation, while relationship conflict can destroy trust. Estate planning requires balancing transparency with timing and maturity. Power dynamics, especially between generations, must be managed with awareness and intention. Forgiveness is a leadership tool—starting with yourself and extending to family members. Preparing next-generation leaders requires more than a title—it requires mentorship, coaching, and clarity.   Chapters:  00:00 – Welcome & Guest Introduction 01:25 – Cathy Carroll's Family Business Background 02:20 – The Challenges of Working for Her Father 06:20 – What “Hug of War” Means in Family Business 08:12 – The Concept of Polarities: Business vs. Family Mindset 10:15 – Domain Crossover Power: Business vs. Family Influence 14:45 – Missed Conversations and End-of-Life Regrets 19:50 – Succession Planning: Equal vs. Equitable 21:10 – Estate Planning: Reveal vs. Conceal 23:55 – Cathy's Polarity Mapping Tool Explained 28:12 – Independence vs. Interdependence in Family Roles 32:54 – Balancing Tradition and Innovation 35:07 – In-Laws and Inclusion in Governance 39:24 – The Need for Flexible Governance 42:36 – The Role of Forgiveness in Family Business 44:51 – Cathy's Journey to Self-Compassion and Understanding 47:01 – How to Recognize When You're in a Polarity, Not a Problem 50:00 – Tools for Navigating Difficult Conversations 52:20 – Cathy's Final Advice for Family Business Leaders

We're recasting this listener favorite from Season 6. Qudsiya loves this conversation with human rights lawyer and disability justice champion, Haben Girma—author of the acclaimed memoir, “Haben: The Deafblind Woman Who Conquered Harvard Law.” Haben and Qudsiya talked about the concept of empowered interdependence. This is the idea that we all deserve to have access to the tools to define our own lives, and the ability to lean on one another to access those tools. Empowered interdependence acknowledges that all of our lives are intertwined, and we are stronger when we solve problems together. It's a timely message, and, as always, Haben shares it with infinite wisdom.-- Subscribe to Qudsiya's Substack, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Getting Down To It⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Support the team behind the podcast ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠with a donation⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Let us know what you think with a comment or review on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple podcasts.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

TakeawaysThe epidemic of loneliness is a significant issue today.Isolation can be as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.Quality relationships are crucial for long-term health.We are biologically and psychologically interdependent.Virtual connections cannot replace real-life interactions.Taking time for solitude is different from isolation.We must actively nurture our relationships to thrive.Social nutrition is as important as physical nutrition.Engaging with others can fuel our souls and well-being.Being a catalyst for community can enhance social health.Chapters00:00The Epidemic of Loneliness02:50The Importance of Connection06:08Overcoming Isolation and Building Relationships

1 Corinthians 3:1-9, 21Friendship Ingredient #9: Interdependence1. Interdependent friends value each other's Kingdom contribution.a. Interdependent friends celebrate each other's uniqueness.b.

In this episode of Partnering Leadership, Mahan Tavakoli is joined by Anders Indset, a renowned business philosopher, leadership thinker, and author of The Viking Code. As organizations navigate the rapid rise of AI, economic volatility, and shifting workforce dynamics, Indset challenges leaders to rethink how they lead, make decisions, and create value in a world that increasingly rewards speed over wisdom.Drawing on insights from The Viking Code and his broader work on leadership and philosophy, Indset explores why many leaders today are trapped in reaction mode—constantly responding to crises instead of shaping the future. He argues that leadership must evolve beyond traditional models of efficiency and optimization, as AI will always outperform humans in those areas. Instead, he makes a compelling case for leaders to cultivate deep thinking, creativity, and the ability to balance trust with friction—elements that AI cannot replicate.Indset also introduces the idea of a “Declaration of Interdependence,” where leadership is no longer about individual success but the ability to foster collaboration, challenge assumptions, and navigate uncertainty. He breaks down how leaders can create high-performance cultures that embrace both collective intelligence and individual growth, ensuring that organizations don't just keep up but stay ahead in an era of transformation.Throughout the conversation, Indset and Tavakoli dive into how CEOs and senior executives can develop the mental models, frameworks, and mindset shifts needed to lead effectively in the years ahead. Actionable Takeaways:

In this episode, Lisa and Rebecca discuss:Shifting from a deficit-based to a strengths-based model for career development for neurodiverse studentsThe importance of self-awareness in career planning and decision-makingHow experiential learning enhances career exploration and job fit for all studentsChallenges and strategies for neurodiverse students pursuing STEM careersKey Takeaways: Traditional education focuses on the deficits of neurodiverse students, but they thrive by recognizing strengths through tools like Myers-Briggs, Gardner's Multiple Intelligences, CliftonStrengths, and the Birkman Assessment that both Rebecca Matte and Lisa use.The Birkman Assessment identifies both behavior and workplace needs, helping students find roles where they thrive and avoid poor job fits.As seen in Landmark College's NSF grant program, experiential learning and mentorship guide students through outreach, projects, and internships to explore careers before committing. This approach can benefit all students.Interdependence is crucial for neurodiverse professionals, as recognizing strengths and weaknesses helps them find complementary partners for better teamwork and career satisfaction.“If you know yourself, you can find your compatible work partners and more readily identify and name the traits of someone with whom you might work.” – Rebecca Whittaker MatteAbout Rebecca Whittaker Matte: Rebecca Whittaker Matte, M.S., is an Associate Professor of Education at Landmark College in Putney, Vermont, with nearly 30 years of experience in neurodiversity and learning disabilities. She holds a B.A. in English from the University of New Hampshire and an M.S. in Human Service Administration from New England College. A certified consultant for the Birkman Method and Gallup CliftonStrengths, as well as an ICF Certified Coach, she is a long-standing advocate of strengths-based approaches.

Please be aware that this conversation contains references to sexual abuse and suicide....Where in your life can you create the conditions for tenderness?...In 1989, Richard Propes left downtown Indianapolis in his wheelchair with $20 in his pocket, a backpack on his wheelchair, and a handful of press releases announcing his "Tenderness Tour." A paraplegic/double amputee born with spina bifida, Propes traveled for 41 days and over 1,000 miles alone around Indiana in an effort to look for good in the world after a life that had been defined by disability, sexual abuse, and the recent suicide of his wife and death of his newborn daughter. He returned from that successful journey determined to break his own cycles of abuse and to do what he could do to make the world a better and safer place for everyone. 35 years later, Propes has traveled over 6,000 miles by wheelchair, raised over $1 million for charitable organizations worldwide, and is living what he calls his "good life." Propes is the founder of the Race Away From Domestic Violence, a 5k event in Indianapolis raising funds for the Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence, and is the author of The Hallelujah Life. Propes graduated summa cum laude from Martin University and is a graduate of Bethany Theological Seminary. He's the founder of TheIndependentCritic.com and is a member of the Indiana Film Journalists Association with his reviews carried by Rotten Tomatoes. Richard currently serves as the director of provider services for the Bureau of Disabilities Services (state of Indiana) and has produced a wide variety of fundraising events including poetry readings, concerts, the benefit CD "Give a Girl a Chance," the IndyFringe show "Laughing Sober," and served as executive producer of comic Rick Garrett's comedy DVD "Straight Outta Cowan." Richard has received numerous honors for his violence prevention work and disability advocacy including Indiana Minority Business Magazine's "Champions of Diversity" Award, Indiana's Sagamore of the Wabash, Prevent Child Abuse America's highest honor the Donna J. Stone Award, and the Jefferson Award. Academy Award-qualifying Heartland International Film Festival and Indy Shorts both present the Richard D. Propes Social Impact Award annually to filmmakers whose works exemplify a dedication to social impact. Having beaten cancer twice in the past year, Richard just completed a 160-mile wheelchair ride in September 2024 that raised $115,000 and eliminated nearly $17 million in medical debt for hoosiers.Today, Abbie and Richard discuss the creation and evolution of the Tenderness Tour, un-defining and redefining love, and learning to embrace the beautiful complexity that is interdependence. ...Stories Lived.

God created all of the visible world in richness, diversity, and order, and everything owes its existence to God. Because all of creation comes from God, every creature has its own goodness and perfection and God wills the interdependence of all creatures. Father Mike helps us to see that God gave us the world for our use, but not for our abuse. Human beings are made in the image and likeness of God and we are charged with caring for the natural world and all of its creatures. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 337-343.

Do You Have A Soulmate?What Does the World Say vs. What Does the Bible Say? Cultural PerspectiveMovies, books, and pop culture promote the idea of "the one."The idea that happiness is found in finding a perfect match..Biblical PerspectiveThe Bible does not explicitly mention "soulmates" in the modern romantic sense.God's plan focuses more on covenant love, commitment, and choosing to love rather than a fated "perfect match."Scripture: Genesis 2:18 – "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." (God provides a partner, but not a predestined “one and only.”)God's Role in Relationships – Divine Guidance vs. Destiny God's Sovereignty in Choosing a SpouseGod gives wisdom and guidance rather than a rigid blueprint.Marriage is a Covenant, Not Just a Cosmic ConnectionMarriage is a commitment that requires work, not just a magical connection.When that covenant is broken…then what?  It's a myth that there is only ONE partner for you out there. What happens if they leave you or die? The bible is clear that you are free to marry again if your spouse dies.  If you adhere to this idea of ONE soul mate then you could never marry again or find love again? God may have other good plans for your life involving someone else. How to Approach Relationships Biblically Seek God's Wisdom and Pray for GuidanceJames 1:5 – " If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” (Don't leave God out of the search)Look for Biblical Compatibility, Not Just Chemistry2 Corinthians 6:14 – "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers..." (Spiritual compatibility matters.)Commitment Over FeelingsLove is a DECISION NOT A FEELING AND is built through commitment, service, and sacrifice, not just finding a “perfect match.”1 Corinthians 13:4-7 – Love is patient, kind, and enduring, not based on feelings alone.Segment 4: Encouragement for Singles & Married Couples For Singles:Focus on becoming the right person, not just finding the right person.Trust God's timing and plan.Don't seek someone that you can't live without or is dependent on you. That's not healthy.Not Dependent. Not Independent. But instead Interdependent. Interdependence means sharing your feelings and needs with a partner without fearing the relationship will end. Successful relationships are built on a solid foundation of safety in which our needs for security, trust, reliability, and nurturance are metPsalm 37:4- Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.Matthew 6:33 – But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.For Married Couples:Invest in your relationship daily—love grows through intentional effort.Lean on God for strength during tough seasons.Ecclesiastes 4:12 – "A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."

God wants to dismantle self-sufficiency. We were never meant to rely on ourselves to get our needs met. Independence is a temptation for much of western culture but, God wants us to know that His desire is to help us. In this message, Pastor Hayley Braun shares a powerful message, unveiling the idol of self-sufficiency and magnifying our Heavenly Father as the great Meeter of all of our needs. Listen along with us and be met by the goodness of your Heavenly Father.

Abby and Patrick welcome psychoanalyst and author Jamieson Webster to discuss her brand-new book, On Breathing: Care in a Time of Catastrophe, out in March 2025 from Catapult. It's a wide-ranging conversation that traverses clinical, social, and political domains while remaining firmly grounded in one of the most basic prerequisites for human life: the activity of breathing. In what ways does the history of psychoanalysis represent a repression of the fact of breathing? How do analytic accounts from Freud to Winnicott to Bion to Lacan variously take up or downplay the necessity of respiration? How does thinking about breath implicate our ideas about development, embodiment, the production of speech, and more? And how does thinking in a sustained way about breath challenge our assumptions about individuality, independence, and wellbeing? The three explore the stakes and meanings of breathing, from COVID wards to police violence to the wellness industry and beyond. A pre-order link for On Breathing is available here: https://books.catapult.co/books/on-breathing/Conversion Disorder: Listening to the Body in Psychoanalysis is here: https://cup.columbia.edu/book/conversion-disorder/9780231184083Disorganization and Sex is here: https://divided.online/all-books/disorganisation-and-sexMarch and April book tour dates for On Breathing:3/11/25 7pm Eastern at Brooklyn Public Library - Central Library, Dweck Center (Brooklyn, NY) in conversation with Jia Tolentino3/15/25 6pm Eastern at Riffraff (Providence, RI) in conversation with Kate Schapira3/30/25 1pm Eastern virtual event with The Psychosocial Foundation4/13/25 2pm Eastern at Pioneer Works (Brooklyn, NY) in conversation with Leslie Jamison and a performance by Andros Zins-Browne as part of the Second Sunday seriesHave you noticed that Freud is back?

Esteemed Buddhist teacher and scholar Dr. Jan Willis leads two meditations on emptiness in this episode. One focuses on the emptiness of the I, this pronoun, this belief that we have that we exist, that there is an I who is Jan Willis. And the other meditation is about  the nature of the mind itself.  She shares the analogy that the mind and the nature of the mind is like the sky.  And this "I" is an adventitious, delusional, negative and harmful cloud in that sky.  But we need to be able to notice it and notice where it exists and whether or not it exists in a solid way that we think it does.
