Sarah Zylstra, senior writer at the Gospel Coalition, recalls stories from an extensive podcast series she produced about stories from 9/11. Sarah talked to dozens of survivors about how they got through the day, what they did next, and the surprising number of church plants that popped up in Manhattan after the tragedy. For KJ Johnson (Director of the CS Lewis Institute, retired lt. colonel of the US Marine corp), 9/11 was the centerpiece of his career. He reflects with Brian on its impact on people who were serving in the military at the time, and how God later called him to ministry. Then, Kelly Flanagan explains how when our fragility is primed by events (like 9/11), our values shift to one singular value: appreciating time with the people that we have. Kelly is a clinical psychologist, speaker, author of two non-fiction books--Loveable and True Companions--and a best-selling and award-winning novel, The Unhiding of Elijah Campbell.

I have had Dr. Flanagan on several times, because his words of wisdom and his therapist's heart are always something that is perfect when I am struggling with a certain area in life. Kelly is a therapist and the author of two amazing books: Loveable and True Companions.    How do we expect our kids to live life with open hearts and love toward others if we aren't  modeling this daily. Whether it is when we are griping about public opinions on national discourse, or treating someone online with animosity; our kids are watching everything we do. How can we bring open heartedness to all of our interactions, how can we recognize when we close our hearts to others?   Kelly and I dive into the ego and self-protection and why this impacts everything we do including parenting, loving others, and being who God created us to be. Many times we are parenting out of our own wounds that need to be healed.    I can't wait to hear what you think?   Connect with Dr. Kelly Flanagan  Past BE LOVE. do good episodes with Kelly Episode: 93 Be love in your marriages Learning to be loveable and embrace your truest self.

When we quit sabotaging intimacy in our relationships by demanding unconditional love, we discover something much greater―the deeply satisfying, transformational love that is companionship. In these pages psychologist Kelly Flanagan shows how each of us has within ourselves, exactly the way we are, the gifts that are needed to cultivate the life-long relationships we are longing for, whether it is within marriage or friendship. He shows us how self-knowledge leads the way to growing in love for both God and others. He shows us how understanding our own loneliness can help us relieve the pressure on our companions. And he shows us how understanding our own psychological and emotional defenses can help us to make the choice to love more vulnerably. More than a marriage book, this is a companionship book.

Dang I love this great wise down to earth gift to humanity. It had been a few years since Dr. Kelly and I co-led a couples retreat for GoBundance... we danced with our life experience and wisdom then... and this interview was like we had just led the retreat last month... yet it had been two years! He's since release his second AMAZING book called True Companions... we went through 2 of the 3 sections of the book... Loneliness and Defensiveness. It's so essential to be curious about your partner's uniqueness while coming to terms with the fact that your partner can never reeeeeeally know what it's like to be unique you. Yet Unique You from my point of view is the unique breath of God/Goddess/Source within you... so you are KNOWN 24/7 by the Divine and in my experience personally and with couples... we can look with the eyes of God/Goddess AT our partner and literally SEE that unique spark of Divinity... AND we can be seen in our unique essence when our partner looks at us through the eyes of the Divine. The presupposition to this is connecting with an open heart, letting go of holding the other accountable (which leads to blame/defensiveness) and instead take total responsibility for our lives, our wounds and show up vulnerably as often as possible. You will WISH he didn't have to leave for his son's soccer practice and you could have listened to Dr. Kelly for days... in the meantime grab his 2nd book and allow his heart centered wisdom to soothe your soul and support your relationship.   --------------------------------- p.s.

Dr. Kelly Flanagan, author, psychologist, speaker, and consultant, joined me for this episode of the podcast. The subject of our conversation is companionship in the context of philia, the kind of love that walks alongside others through the good and the gritty parts of life. His new book, True Companions, highlights this journey in ways … Continue reading Episode 103 – Dr. Kelly Flanagan

“I used to think I was the only one who was lonely. After all, when you look around, other people don’t look lonely. They just look like they are drinking a latte.” —Dr. Kelly Flanagan Goodness, this quote from Dr. Kelly Flanagan’s new book, "True Companions: A Book for Everyone About the Relationships That See Us Through," gripped us. If loneliness is that deep-seated reality that you have corners of your heart that only you and Jesus understand, aren’t we all lonely? And isn’t it time we admit it?  Dr. Kelly Flanagan thinks it’s not only time to admit our lonely realities but to befriend loneliness. After talking with him and reading his book, we are convinced we should do the same. Okay…but as we/before we do this, we have a few questions: What is the difference between loneliness and isolation? How much are our friends/family/the Church responsible for alleviating isolation and how much is on us to process with Jesus? Why is befriending this loneliness journey better than avoiding with Netflix and wine? Pull up your own loneliness to the table and listen in to what we found to be a beautiful, de-isolating, honest conversation I Highlights I “A lot of us think of lonely as a feeling that goes along with a certain set of conditions. But when I’m talking about loneliness, I’m talking about it as a fact, like a fact of our humanness.” -Dr. Kelly Flanagan “[T]o love companionably, to love with the love that we call phileo...is to come alongside, to enter into the life, to say, ‘I’m gonna walk along with you in this.’” -Dr. Kelly Flanagan “We have to cultivate the capacity to create spaces of non-doing.” -Dr. Kelly Flanagan “A thousand hearts [on Instagram] leaves us feeling isolated....We need to be attentive to populating our lives with people who we are working together [with] to see each other and understand each other as well as we can.” -Dr. Kelly Flanagan I Do the Next Thing I Go get Dr. Kelly’s books, "True Companions" and "Lovable"! https://drkellyflanagan.com/ Looking for someone to walk through it with you?

Found family, partners, true-blue friends: it's all about the groups of people who claim us, warm our hearts, and have our backs no matter what, who help us feel that we belong.https://www.confessionsofaclosetromantic.comRemember the TV show Queer as Folk? It originated in the UK, and there was a US version too. Its group of friends fits this trope so well. My high school crush/date came out to me on prom night so I felt a bit like Daphne in this clip: happy and proud for him, but a bit disappointed, too. The TV show Friends is all about this trope, too, of course. My BFF loves motorcycle club romances, which embody this trope as well. All the Tropes on band of brothers is great, and tvtropes.org also explores a band of brothers trope off-shoot called True Companions.Four Weddings and a Funeral is still charming and touching, with one of the best “we belong together” found-family examples in any rom-com.Bromance Book Club is the first book in the Bromance Book Club series by Lyssa Kay Adams. Its band of brothers is romance gold—needless to say, Netflix snapped up the rights so the story will be coming to a tiny screen near you sometime soon. Daniel is a steady, wise and affectionate presence in the Loveless Brothers series by Roxie Noir, and his story, Best Fake Fiancé is one of my favorites, along with Levi’s and Eli's stories.Jo Beverley’s Malloren series is one of my top favorite romance series ever. Devilish, the oldest Malloren brother Lord Rothgar's story, is one romance I can happily read over and over.Tessa Dare’s Spindle Cove series centers on an English village in the Regency era with blue stockings and shy, spirited women who don't quite fit in as its residents, along with the group of aristocratic men who love them. They're full of wit and whimsy, the perfect place to start reading historical romance.The Beautiful series by writing duo Christina Lauren is quite a ride: spicy hot and kinky (unlike their more recent books) with "naughty" tropes that ratchet up the fantasy.I plan to explore this fantastic series in an upcoming episode, but for now, let me say that Chloe Liese's Bergman brothers series has this trope in spades and it's another, new top favorite romance series.

What would you say to someone who is dealing with inner turmoil and is not overall at peace with who they are. Would you be willing to lend them an ear so that they can sit and talk to you, or would you pass it along and recommend that they seek professional help? What if you were the one in their position? It takes a lot to begin the journey of healing the pain and emotional, physical, and psychological trauma that you endured in the past. But in order to grow as a person, we have to let those things go no matter how painful or impossible it may seem. Although it may seem like a never ending tunnel and that there is no way you can overcome it, there is light at the end of the tunnel and you such a strong person even though you may not see that now. This episode is very special this week. CMBL founder, Ciru Karanja, sits down with Dr. Kelly Flanagan, a psychologist, author, and public speaker, and they discuss the journey of self reflection and healing. Dr. Flanagan also talks about his books, Loveable, and his upcoming book, True Companions, which speak truth to every individual, especially during these challenging times.
