Podcasts about right relationships

Come back to God | Right Relationships | Zach Chronley by Akouo Church

Have you ever stayed in a relationship just to avoid being alone? Did staying make you feel better or worse over time? Today, Jay sits down with writer and relationship coach Quinlan Walther to explore what it truly means to build healthy, lasting relationships. Quinlan, known for her viral reflections on love and self-trust, explains the difference between wanting a relationship and being ready for one. She compares it to grocery shopping when you’re hungry, a reminder that desperation often drives us to make poor emotional choices. Together, they explore how self-awareness, emotional safety, and self-trust form the foundation for a genuine connection. Quinlan introduces her “Four C’s of Self-Trust”: curiosity, capacity, compassion, and commitment, a framework for strengthening one’s relationship with the self before seeking partnership. Jay and Quinlan confront the hard truths about modern love, how expectations, attachment wounds, and emotional burnout often distort our perception of what love should feel like. They explore the difference between chemistry and compatibility, reminding listeners that while excitement can spark a connection, it’s shared values and emotional maturity that sustain it. Quinlan emphasizes that relationships are not meant to fill our emptiness but to reflect our growth. Through stories and practical wisdom, she explains how the healthiest relationships allow space for vulnerability, accountability, and change, rather than perfection. Jay reflects on his own marriage, highlighting how communication, patience, and self-reflection create emotional safety and deepen love over time. In his interview, you'll learn: How to Know If You’re Ready for Love How to Build Self-Trust Before Dating How to Create Emotional Safety in Relationships How to Tell Chemistry from Compatibility How to Set Boundaries Without Guilt How to Heal After a Breakup How to Stop Repeating Unhealthy Patterns How to Grow Together Without Losing Yourself Real connection isn’t about finding someone to fix or complete us, it’s about growing into the version of ourselves that can give and receive love freely. Every heartbreak, disappointment, and moment of self-reflection brings us closer to understanding that love begins within.

We live in a culture obsessed with fairness. The word is heavy with scales, tallies, and invisible scoreboards. Did I do my part? Did they? Am I getting what I deserve? Is someone getting more than me? Fairness sounds righteous on the surface, but when you live inside it, fairness is a trap. It drives us inward, judging ourselves and everyone else against an impossible standard, measuring every crumb, every kindness, every silence.When fairness rules, love shrinks. We second-guess our own thoughts, scold ourselves for favoritism, and keep our generosity under lock and key so we won't “give too much.” Fairness whispers that compassion must be rationed, that care must be weighed like coins, that justice is about sameness instead of healing.But the ancient call of Spirit is not fairness. It is equity.Equity is not about everyone receiving the same thing. It is about giving each person what they need. When I stop worrying whether I've distributed care evenly across every relationship, and instead ask, “What does this one need from me right now?” something shifts. Relief floods in. My shoulders unclench. I no longer have to police every interaction or keep score of invisible debts. I am free to meet the human being in front of me.That is the heart of justice. Justice is not sameness. Justice is not balancing a ledger. Justice is seeing clearly and acting rightly. It is equity.The Trap of FairnessFairness has become one of the most cherished myths of our time, especially in societies built on meritocracy. We are told from childhood: if you work hard, if you follow the rules, if you wait your turn, things will be fair. But fairness is fragile. It crumbles the moment we see how wealth, health, opportunity, and power are not evenly spread. It fractures when we notice how privilege tilts the scales. And it collapses entirely when we realize that life itself is not fair: illness, disaster, and tragedy visit without rhyme or reason.When fairness fails, many double down. We chase punishments and rewards, lawsuits and policies, hoping someone, somewhere, will enforce the rules of fairness. But the more tightly we cling to fairness, the more bitter and exhausted we become. The constant comparison, who has more, who has less, who “deserves” what, keeps us in a state of judgment, always suspicious, always resentful.Fairness was never enough.The Relief of EquityEquity breaks the spell. Equity says: stop measuring. Stop comparing. Look at the person before you and ask, “What do they need?”Some need encouragement, others need listening, others need space. Some need bread for their table, others need a place to belong, others need protection from harm. Justice is not everyone receiving the same thing. Justice is everyone receiving what will allow them to live, to heal, to flourish.When we shift to equity, the anxiety of fairness dissolves. Instead of wondering, “Am I doing enough for everyone equally?” we ask, “Am I present, honest, and caring in this relationship?” It becomes practical. Relational. Human.That first step is where the practice begins: check your relationships. Are you being equitable with those around you? Not fair, but equitable. Does your friend who is grieving receive your tenderness, even if that means you cancel plans with someone else? Does your coworker who is struggling receive your help, even if it takes more of your time than another? Do you allow yourself to receive what you need, even if someone else doesn't understand?This is equity. It feels like a deep sigh, a release from the tyranny of fairness.From Personal to CommunalThe small shift in our relationships points toward a larger horizon. If justice is equity in the personal sphere, then justice is equity in the communal sphere as well.When we give only what is fair, society becomes rigid. Schools, hospitals, workplaces, and governments end up enforcing sameness, not care. But when we design systems with equity in mind, we look at who has been excluded, who has been harmed, who carries heavier burdens, and we act to rebalance.Equity notices that some need ramps, others need interpreters, others need affordable medicine, others need safety from violence. Equity doesn't ask who deserves it. Equity doesn't weigh worthiness. Equity simply acts to provide what is needed so that everyone can participate fully in life.To treat one person unjustly is to treat everyone unjustly. Because once we decide that someone can be excluded, neglected, or silenced in the name of fairness, we set a precedent that eventually comes for us all. Equity protects the whole by tending to the part.Scarcity and the Lie of DeservednessOne of the deepest obstacles to equity is the myth of scarcity. We are taught to believe there is not enough: enough food, enough time, enough money, enough love. And in a world of scarcity, equity sounds threatening. If they get what they need, will there be enough left for me?But scarcity is a lie. Our world already produces more food than we consume, more wealth than we distribute, more capacity for care than we unleash. Scarcity is an invention of empire, a tool to keep us grasping and competing instead of sharing and creating.Deservedness is scarcity's twin. We spend endless hours debating who deserves help, who deserves opportunity, who deserves compassion. But nobody deserves anything. Deserve is the wrong question. The right question is: what do they need?When we stop asking “Who deserves?” and start asking “What is needed?” the world changes. Compassion flows more freely. Communities grow stronger. Justice becomes possible.Living Into the PossibleThe call is not abstract. The call is practical. Begin with your relationships. Ask what equity looks like in your friendships, in your family, in your community. Practice it, even in small ways. Notice the relief it brings.Then lift your eyes. See the wider society. Ask: who around me is not receiving what they need to flourish? What can I do, in partnership with others, to change that? Sometimes the answer is mutual aid. Sometimes it is advocacy. Sometimes it is simply showing up and standing alongside the vulnerable.Justice is not waiting for laws to be rewritten or for leaders to act. Justice is practicing equity now, in our daily lives, in our choices, in our commitments.The dream is an equitable society. A world where no one is left behind, no one is cast aside, no one is told to earn their right to live. Every small act of equity is a seed of that world. The more seeds we plant, the more inevitable that world becomes.A Call to ActionSo here is the call: stop chasing fairness. Stop policing yourself with invisible scales. Stop rationing compassion. Let relief wash over you.Practice equity in your relationships. Ask what each person needs, and respond with love.Then widen your practice to your neighborhood, your community, your world. See where equity is missing, and act.Because justice is not a concept. Justice is a way of living. Justice is equity. Righteousness is right relationship. And the Spirit who made us longs for both.To treat one person unjustly is to treat everyone unjustly. But to treat one person equitably is to open the door for justice to grow everywhere.May we live as if an equitable world is already possible. And in our living, may we help bring it into being.Now find a quiet place. Sit comfortably. Close your eyes if you wish.Take a slow, steady breath in.Breathe in calm.Breathe out calm.Let your body settle. Let your spirit rest in the present moment.Now, softly speak these words aloud, letting each phrase open like a seed within you:May I treat myself with equity,giving myself what I need in this moment.May I treat my loved ones with equity,giving them what they need in this moment.May I treat my friends and community with equity,giving them what they need in this moment.May I treat my enemies with equity,giving them what they need in this moment.Rest again in silence. Feel how each phrase widens the circle of your care, from self, to loved ones, to community, to those who oppose you.Stay here as long as you need. Let the practice reshape your breath, your thoughts, your life.Thanks for reading!

Mari Otsu joins Stephen Blackwood for a deeply personal conversation about her journey through the wounds of materialism, ideology, and spiritual forgetting, and her return to the soul through the beauty of the humanities. Reflecting on her years at NYU and the Grand Central Atelier, Mari speaks of a longing that nothing in the modern, politicized worldview could satisfy, and how she found healing in therapy, classical painting, and, most profoundly, the living philosophical community of Ralston College. Engaging with the works of Plotinus, Boethius, and Dante, she discovered a path of purification and ascent that restored her sense of meaning and inspired her to share these treasures with others. This conversation explores the roots of today's meaning crisis and the redemptive power of beauty, thought, and imagination to heal the soul.

Send us a textIn this episode, Pastor Ed teaches on the importance of pursuing our relationship with Jesus. Luke 9:57-6257 Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, “Lord, I will follow You wherever You go. 58 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” 59 Then He said to another, “Follow Me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” 60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God. 61 And another also said, “Lord, I will follow You, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house.” 62 But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”John 6:3535 And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.John 8:1212 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”John 9:55 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”John 10:77 Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.John 10:11-1411 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. 12 But a [a]hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. 13 The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own.John 11:2525Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.John 14:66 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.John 15:1-51 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He [a]takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. 5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.Jeremiah 29:12-1312 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.Psalms 63:11O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water.Matthew 6:3333 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

In this thought-provoking episode of Father and Joe, hosts Father Boniface and Joe Rockey delve into the complex reactions of the townspeople in the biblical story of the Gerasene demoniac. Join them as they uncover the profound spiritual insights hidden within this narrative from the Gospel of Matthew.As Joe questions the puzzling reaction of the townspeople, who ask Jesus to leave after He miraculously heals a demon-possessed man, Father Boniface provides a deep and enlightening understanding. He explains that the power of Jesus is fundamentally the power of love, capable of transforming and freeing even the most isolated and tormented individuals. Yet, it is this very power that instills fear and apprehension among the townspeople—a fear of the unknown and the transformations it may demand.Throughout the episode, Father Boniface illuminates the transformative power of love and mercy, both in biblical times and in our daily lives. He emphasizes that God's wild and reckless love always meets us where we are, extending mercy that respects our individual pacing and willingness to convert. Through mercy, God desires to guide us toward justice—right relationships with ourselves and others.The hosts draw a parallel between this biblical story and our own struggles with demons, not necessarily supernatural, but the personal battles that isolate us from others. They discuss the importance of relationships in healing and growth, highlighting how we can reach out for help and offer love to those in need.As the conversation unfolds, Father Boniface and Joe also reflect on the often overlooked significance of Divine Mercy in the Catholic tradition. They remind listeners of the profound message: God's love is ever-present, extending to us, no matter our circumstances or how far we have strayed. In a world filled with challenges and uncertainties, this episode calls us to embrace the love of God, which not only frees us from our demons but empowers us to repair broken relationships and live in right harmony with others.Whether you struggle with faith, question divine interventions, or seek a more profound connection with God, this episode offers spiritual guidance and encouragement to delve deeper into the transformative power of love and mercy.Tags:Biblical Stories, Faith, Spirituality, Jesus, Demons, Love, Mercy, Divinity, Relationships, Christianity, Faith Journey, Divine Interventions, Healing, Transformation, Gospel of Matthew, Apostle Reactions, God's Power, Divine Love, Isolation, Fear of Change, Right Relationships, Catholic Tradition, Divine Mercy, Faith Reflection, Bible Study, Personal Growth, Spiritual Guidance, Overcoming Fear, Community Healing, Love and Transformation, Catholic Faith, Emotional Healing, Power of Love, Faith Challenges, Personal Demons, Biblical Insights, Faith Conversations, Divine Love, Mental Battles, Healing Through Relationships, Faithful DiscussionsHashtags:#BiblicalStories, #Faith, #Spirituality, #Jesus, #Demons, #Love, #Mercy, #Divinity, #Relationships, #Christianity, #FaithJourney, #DivineInterventions, #Healing, #Transformation, #GospelOfMatthew, #ApostleReactions, #GodPower, #DivineLove, #Isolation, #FearOfChange, #RightRelationships, #CatholicTradition, #DivineMercy, #FaithReflection, #BibleStudy, #PersonalGrowth, #SpiritualGuidance, #OvercomingFear, #CommunityHealing, #CatholicFaith, #EmotionalHealing, #PowerOfLove, #FaithChallenges, #PersonalDemons, #BiblicalInsights, #FaithConversations, #MentalBattles, #HealingThroughRelationships, #FaithfulDiscussions
