Loving our autistic children through their struggles isn't always simple — and it's definitely not always easy. In this heartfelt episode, Shannon opens up about the complex emotions many parents face when their child can't or doesn't express love in typical ways.Maybe your child doesn't say “I love you.” Maybe they don't come to you for comfort or push you away during meltdowns. Maybe you've quietly wondered, "Why does this feel so one-sided?" or "Am I the only one who feels this way?"You are not alone.As summer begins — a time that can feel overwhelming for families like ours — this episode is a soft place to land.

Podcast Description:In this episode, I open my heart and speak from a place of deep reflection—because I've come to understand that I don't want the “perfect” love that looks good on the outside but lacks depth on the inside. I want a love that's perfect for me—one that feels safe, emotionally mature, spiritually aligned, and built on truth.This isn't about flawless people or fairy-tale relationships. It's about the kind of love that allows both people to be human—flawed but committed, imperfect but intentional. I talk about what it means to desire a sacred connection where both partners are capable of communicating through the hard times, standing in vulnerability, and choosing each other with consistency—not out of convenience, but out of alignment.I also share parts of my personal journey—how letting go of past connections, even ones filled with love, was necessary for growth. How sometimes we confuse chemistry for calling. And how the waiting season isn't a punishment, but a preparation. What may feel like silence is often God's way of clearing the path so the right kind of love can step in.This episode is for anyone who's ever questioned, “Is it me?” or felt like they were “too much” for the wrong people. You are not too much—you were just offering your love to people who weren't equipped to receive it.Love doesn't need to be broadcasted to be real. It needs to be felt, honored, and nurtured in quiet spaces where trust is built and authenticity is welcomed. If you're in a season of becoming, of healing, or simply waiting for the kind of connection that sees you and stays—this episode is for you.

Real love isn't always perfect—and real relationships aren't always easy. In the final week of our powerful series “It's Not You, It's Me,” Pastor Jason unpacks the deeply moving story of Hannah and Elkanah from 1 Samuel. Their love story was full of pain, pressure, and unanswered prayers—but also full of faith, perseverance, and the miraculous.Whether you're single, married, divorced, or waiting on God for something big—this message is for YOU.✅ Learn 4 truths about godly relationships✅ Be encouraged that pain doesn't mean God has abandoned you✅ Discover the power of prayer in messy seasons✅ Find hope in God's timing and purpose

April 21, 2025 | Jason Pyron speaks on how real love shows up in how we treat others. Jesus taught that loving God and loving our neighbor are inseparable. True faith isn't just belief—it's love in action. Scripture shows that love fulfills the law, builds others up, and reflects God's very nature. If we say we love God but neglect those around us, we're missing the point. Who is God asking you to love better—family, friends, classmates, even enemies?For more information about The Vue, visit www.bellevue.org/college.

Let me know your thoughts about the podcast. Thank you for listening!What does it truly mean to love someone? Most of us think we know, yet our relationships often falter because we're operating from completely different definitions. Distinguishing genuine love from mere infatuation could be the most important relationship skill you'll ever develop.Love, at its essence, means wanting to give without expectation of return. Infatuation, however, is that intoxicating chemical reaction that clouds judgment and makes us pursue someone primarily for our own satisfaction. Think about those post-divorce moments when people wonder, "What was I thinking when I married this person?" The answer is simple—they weren't thinking clearly because they were infatuated.True love develops when we invest ourselves emotionally—sharing our vulnerability, time, and attention. This explains why emotionally unavailable people struggle with relationships and why material gifts often compensate for emotional distance. Before investing your heart, take time to heal from past wounds and define what love means to both you and your potential partner. The willingness to be vulnerable—to truly open your heart—may be uncomfortable, but it's the foundation of any meaningful relationship. Are you ready to move beyond infatuation and experience genuine love?

There's curiosity. There's concern. There's some serious side-eye.  Danielle's essay, “AI IS NOT YOUR BEST LIFE COACH,” stirred up a flood of responses—some celebratory, some cautionary.

Real Love

This PBSE episode (275), inspired by a listener's vulnerable question, dives deep into the emotional complexity of intimacy in long-term relationships—particularly when one partner has struggled with pornography addiction. The woman asks how her husband can look “past” her aging body and be genuinely aroused by real love. Her question reveals the pain of feeling invisible or undesired and touches on the widespread cultural belief that sexual attraction is rigid and solely tied to youth or physical perfection. The article dismantles this myth, showing that arousal is not a static, uncontrollable instinct, but a moldable response shaped by years of influence, experience, and personal choices.Mark and Steve, speaking from their own journeys of recovery and their work with countless clients, explain how pornography warps the arousal template, training the brain to see only surface-level stimulation while disconnecting from emotional and spiritual depth. But through consistent personal work, emotional vulnerability, and intentional connection, that template can be rewritten. Real-life examples—like a therapist who found arousal in his wife's post-mastectomy scars—illustrate that true desire comes not from ignoring reality, but from embracing it. The physical becomes more meaningful, not less, when it's rooted in shared experience, loyalty, admiration, and love.Ultimately, the article reframes arousal not as something to “look past,” but as something to “look through”—to see the fullness of a partner, body and soul. It calls both partners to re-engage in intimacy with eyes wide open, choosing to cultivate love through emotional connection and shared meaning. The grand takeaway is that authentic, meaningful love is not only enough to spark desire—it's the most powerful and lasting form of arousal there is.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:  How Can He "Look Past" My Body & Be Aroused by Real Love?!Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services
