Miroslav Volf explores agapic love, creation's goodness, and God's grief—an alternative to despair, power, and world rejection.“When a wanted child is born, the immense joy of many parents often renders them mute, but their radiant faces speak of surprised delight: ‘Just look at you! It is so very good that you are here!' This delight precedes any judgment about the beauty, functionality, or moral rectitude of the child. The child's sheer existence, the mere fact of it, is ‘very good.' That's what I propose God, too, exclaimed, looking at the new-born world. And that unconditional love grounds creation's existence.”In this fourth Gifford Lecture, Miroslav Volf contrasts the selective and self-centered love of Ivan Karamazov with the radically inclusive, unconditional love of Father Zosima. Drawing deeply from Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov, Genesis's creation and flood narratives, and Hannah Arendt's concept of amor mundi, Volf explores a theology of agapic love: unearned, universal, and enduring. This is the love by which God sees creation as “very good”—not because it is perfect, but because it exists. It's the love that grieves corruption without destroying it, that sees responsibility as mutual, and that offers the only hope for life in a deeply flawed world. With references to Luther, Nietzsche, and modern visions of power and desire, Volf challenges us to ask what kind of love makes a world, sustains it, and might one day save it. “Love the world,” he insists, “or lose your soul.”Episode Highlights“The world will either be loved with unconditional love, or it'll not be loved at all.”“Unconditional love abides. If the object of love is in a state that can be celebrated, love rejoices. If it is not, love mourns and takes time to help bring it back to itself.”“Each is responsible for all. Each is guilty for all. Each needs forgiveness from all. Each must forgive all.”“Creation is not primarily sacramental or iconic. It is an object of delight both for humans and for God.”“Agapic love demands nothing from the beloved, though it cares and hopes much for them and for the shared world with them.”Show NotesSchopenhauer and Nietzsche's visions of happiness: pleasure and power as substitutes for love“Love as hunger”: the devouring nature of epithemic desireIvan Karamazov's tragic love for life—selective, gut-level, and self-focused“There is still… this wild and perhaps indecent thirst for life in me”Father Zosima's universal love for “every leaf and every ray of God's light”“Love man also in his sin… Love all God's creation”Sonya and Raskolnikov in Crime and Punishment: love as restoration“She loved him and stayed with him—not although he murdered, but because he murdered”God's declaration in Genesis: “And look—it was very good”Hannah Arendt's amor mundi—“I want you to be” as pure affirmationCreation as gift: “Each is itself by being more than itself”Martin Luther on marriage, sex, and delight as godly pleasuresThe flood as hypothetical: divine grief replaces divine destruction“It grieved God to his heart”—grief as a form of agapic love“Each is responsible for all. Each is guilty for all.”Agape over erotic love: not reward and punishment, but faithful presence and care“Agapic love demands nothing… It is free, sovereign to love, humble.”Closing invitation: to live the life of love, under whatever circumstancesProduction NotesThis podcast featured Miroslav VolfEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Taylor Craig and Macie BridgeA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/giveSpecial thanks to Dr. Paul Nimmo, Paula Duncan, and the media team at the University of Aberdeen.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, host Hunter guides us through August 19th's scripture readings, taking us on a journey from Jeremiah chapters 45 and 47, to Psalm 105, and ending with John 21. Hunter reflects on powerful themes of God's unwavering love and faithfulness—even in the face of failure, brokenness, and exile. Through the story of Peter's restoration by Jesus, we're invited to see ourselves as loved, forgiven, and renewed, no matter the weight of our past mistakes. Along the way, Hunter encourages us to let God's love reshape our lives so we can share that same hope with others. The episode concludes with heartfelt prayers and gratitude for this global community of listeners. So, wherever you are, settle in as we warm our hearts together by the fires of God's love, and remember: you are deeply loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Love is rooted in God. He is love's origin and source. That is who he is. God is love. His love is not conditioned on our response, our attitudes, our prayers, or our work for him. It simply is, because that is who God is. The rock that Peter is and will become is quarried from the rock that is Christ himself. He's a chip off the old block. Peter's very being is rooted in God. Something fundamental has shifted. Peter has been drawn into the life of Christ. This is, to use a big word, an ontological reality that Peter must begin to grapple with, and must allow to transform his entire being. Peter no doubt struggled with the failure that was his denial of Christ. He no doubt struggled to see himself in any other way than as weak, a fraud, a failure. I'm sure there was a mountain of self-loathing in the wake of his denial. So Jesus asks Peter three times this fundamental question: Do you love me? Jesus is chipping away at all the ways we see ourselves and frame our lives, that stand in the way of us fully participating in what really is, and who we really are. Peter has to know that he himself is loved, forgiven, that he is in Christ. Christ sees something in Peter that Peter is struggling to see himself: God's love, God's love for him. And Peter needs to see in others what God has already seen in him. Those sheep, Peter, they're like you. They have failed. They are hiding. They are afraid. They are ashamed. But the truth is, like you, they are already forgiven. The truth is that they are new. The truth is that they are loved. Now go tell them. Feed them with this gospel. Now, enough about Peter. Let's talk about you. Jesus sees something in you. And you, like Peter, might be struggling to see it. Maybe Jesus is chipping away at all the many ways that your failures have framed your life. Well, the truth is that your real life is hidden with God in Christ. And the more that you begin to awaken to that reality and God's love for you, the more you will be able to offer that love to God's sheep—to all the people you see today, all the people living under the crushing weight of their failures and shame. Let God chip away at those things that keep you from seeing what God really sees in you: that you are already forgiven, that you are already loved, that you are already in Christ. Now offer this message to everyone in your world. Feed his sheep. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

Miroslav Volf critiques Nietzsche's vision of power, love, and suffering—and offers Jesus's unconditional love as a more excellent way.The idea that competitive and goalless striving to increase one's power is the final Good, does very important work in Nietzsche's philosophy. For Nietzsche, striving is good. Happiness does not rest in feeling that one's power is growing. In the modern world, individuals are, as Nietzsche puts it, ‘crossed everywhere with infinity.' …And therefore condemn to ceaseless striving … The will to power aims at surpassing the level reached at any given time. And that goal can never be reached. You're always equally behind.Striving for superiority so as to enhance power does not just elevate some, the stronger ones. If the difference in power between parties increases, the weak become weaker in socially significant sense, even if their power has objectively increased. Successful striving for superiority inferiorizes.”In this third installment of his Gifford Lectures, Miroslav Volf offers a trenchant critique of Friedrich Nietzsche's moral philosophy—especially his exaltation of the will to power, his affirmation of eternal suffering, and his agonistic conception of love. Nietzsche, Volf argues, fails to cultivate a love that can endure possession, withstand unworthiness, or affirm the sheer existence of the other. Instead, Nietzsche's love quickly dissolves into contempt. Drawing from Christian theology, and particularly Jesus's teaching that God causes the sun to rise on the evil and the good alike, Volf explores a different kind of love—agapic, unconditional, and presuppositionless. He offers a vision of divine love that is not driven by need or achievement but that affirms existence itself, regardless of success, strength, or status. In the face of suffering, Nietzsche's amor fati falters—but Jesus's embrace endures.Episode Highlights"The sun, in fact, has no need to bestow its gift of light and warmth. It gains nothing from imparting its gifts.""Love that is neither motivated by need nor based on worthiness—that is the kind of love Nietzsche thought prevented Jesus from loving humanity and earth.""Nietzsche aspires to transfiguration of all things through value-bestowing life, but he cannot overcome nausea over humans.""God's love for creatures is unconditional. It is agapic love for the states in which they find themselves.""Love can only flicker. It moves from place to place because it can live only between places. If it took an abode, it would die."Show NotesMiroslav Volf's engagement with Nietzsche's workFriedrich Nietzsche's critique of Christianity as life-denying and his vision of the will to powerSchopenhauer's hedonism vs. Nietzsche's anti-hedonism: “What is good? Everything that heightens the feeling of power.”The will to power as Nietzsche's supreme value and “hyper-good”“The will to power is not a philosophy of life—it's a philosophy of vitality.”Nietzsche's agonism: the noble contest for superiority among equally powerful opponents“Every GOAT is a GOAT only for a time.”Amor fati: Nietzsche's love of fate and affirmation of all existenceNietzsche's ideal of desire without satisfaction: “desiring to desire”Dangers of epithumic (need-based, consuming) love“Love cannot abide. Its shelf life is shorter than a two-year-old's toy... If it took an abode, it would die.”Nietzsche's nausea at the weakness and smallness of humanity: “Nausea, nausea... alas, man recurs eternally.”Zarathustra's conditional love: based on worthiness, wisdom, and power“Joy in tearing down has fully supplanted love's delight in what is.”Nietzsche's failure to love the unworthy: “His love fails to encompass the great majority of actually living human beings.”Volf's theological critique of striving, superiority, and contempt“Nietzsche affirms vitality at the expense of concrete human beings.”The biblical God's love: “He makes his sun rise on the evil and the good.”“Even the poorest fisherman rows with golden oars.”Jesus's unconditional love versus Nietzsche's agonistic, conditional loveKierkegaard and Luther on the distinction between person and workHannah Arendt's political anthropology and enduring love in the face of unworthinessVolf's proposal for a theology of loving the present world in its broken form“We can actually long also for what we have.”“Love that cannot take an abode will die.”A vision of divine, presuppositionless love that neither requires need nor merit

We should love people unconditionally because it allows us to see their worth beyond their flaws, mistakes, or differences.Unconditional love builds trust, promotes healing, and encourages growth—both for the person receiving it and the one giving it. When you love without conditions:You create a safe space for honesty and vulnerability.You strengthen relationships because love isn't dependent on performance.You reflect the kind of compassion you would hope to receive in your own low moments.You help break cycles of judgment, fear, and insecurity.It doesn't mean ignoring wrong behavior or tolerating harm it means caring for the person while still addressing issues with truth and kindness.Unconditional love is powerful because it connects to who someone is, not just what they do.Cash app: $sbfavorVenmo : @sbfavorPaypal: sblove47@gmal.com

QUOTE: In your self-constructed realities, realize that unconditional love is the source of your salvation and apply it to yourself and then others. For example, all are one, and the same, the Force.   DESCRIPTION: Review the meaning of unconditional love.  Then understand the benefits of its practice to you, humanity, and the earth.

If you've ever felt like you can't keep doing it the same way—or longed for the courage to meet life as it is—this episode is a breath of truth. A reminder that within you, there is an unstoppable force of love, grace, and presence… and it's more than enough.   In this heart-opening episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit with my dear friend Sage Robbins—world-renowned speaker, mentor, philanthropist, and heart-centered guide—for a deeply personal and soul-stirring conversation on what it means to live fully, love deeply, and embrace the beautiful mess of being human. Sage embodies the intersection of grace and power and brings a rare blend of humility, authenticity, and humor from a life committed to personal growth and spiritual alignment.   Together, we explore the secret to lasting love, the fact that all relationships are mirrors, and the sacred responsibility of parenting with vulnerability. Sage opens up about learning to welcome pain as a teacher, practicing forgiveness through rituals like Ho'oponopono, and discovering that even fear has its place in a spiritually aligned life. She reminds us that we are not broken—we are becoming. And that the deeper we lean into our humanness, the closer we get to wholeness.   Join Sage Robbins at the She's Unstoppable Summit — a powerful three-day virtual experience happening August 20–22. This free global event brings together like-hearted women from around the world to reconnect with their authentic power, rise above what no longer serves, and remember who they truly are.   Register now at ShesUnstoppableSummit.com — it's completely free and open to all.

What if the thing blocking intimacy is the contract you didn't even know you signed? Not a legal one. A silent one. The one that says:  “If you meet my needs, I'll meet yours.”  “If you make me feel safe, I'll stay open.”  “If you act how I expect, I'll keep loving you.” It's a model most of us inherited. A tit-for-tat paradigm of partnership. One that feels familiar, even responsible. But also: One that quietly contracts our capacity for intimacy. This week on the podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain on the very personal experiment I'm doing in my own relationship — one that's challenging everything I used to believe about love. After years as a couples therapist… After 15+ years in a former marriage… After guiding thousands of relationships toward healing… I find myself asking a question I've never fully answered: Can love be unconditional, even in romantic partnership? Inside this episode, I share: *What I've seen in my work with couples — and why many of us are still playing by outdated rules *How conditional love quietly kills desire *Why freedom is the hidden ingredient for long-term intimacy *And the personal practice I'm exploring daily to expand my capacity for love This isn't a story of perfection. It's a story of practice. A story about what happens when you stop trying to earn love — and start learning how to live it. If you've ever felt like love must be negotiated… If you've ever questioned what it means to be fully seen, fully chosen, fully free… Let this episode be a mirror.

In this heartfelt conversation, we explore unconditional love as the deepest truth of life — the current that flows through everything, the practice that transforms us, and the realisation that awakens us to our own wholeness. We look at love not as a fleeting feeling, but as a living practice that begins with self-love and self-knowledge. Along the way we explore how to meet life without judgement, how grief and loss can become portals to awakening, and how moments of profound challenge can strip away illusions and reveal who we truly are. Through stories of near-death, transformation, and surrender, this dialogue becomes an invitation to soften into love, embody it daily, and recognise that nothing is missing — that love is what we have always been.

You've been told your whole life that if you fix that one thing, things will finally shift for you.Be less loud and more people will like you.Be more serious and you'll be respected.Tweak your nose and your attitude, and suddenly you'll be worthy of love and success.But here's the truth.That belief isn't empowering you. You're being manipulated.This episode unpacks why you actually don't need to change a single thing to feel and be magnetic, you just need to start with remembering who the f*ck you are.Because when your version of unconditional love matches Source's definition, that's when everything finally shifts.You get chosen. Opportunities are lined up for you. You stop performing and overgiving. You stop losing yourself just to win over others.Unlocking your full power and potential doesn't come from shapeshifting into someone else. It comes from letting go of what you thought you had to be or do to get what you want.You get to rewrite the script, where you are the standard and love for yourself doesn't come with conditions.RESOURCES MENTIONEDThe Glow Foundation - LIVE 90-min Workshop - September 2025https://www.alexandraninfo.com/theglowfoundationYour $28 Foundational Programhttps://www.alexandraninfo.com/the-foundationThe Alexandra Ninfo Affiliate Programhttps://www.alexandraninfo.com/affiliateUnf*ck Yourself Membershiphttps://www.alexandraninfo.com/membershipFOLLOW ME Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/alexandraninfo TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@alexandraninfo You Can Also Listen to Unf*ck Yourself Podcast HereSite - https://www.alexandraninfo.com/podcast Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unf-ck-yourself/id1647393740 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4OfhtVIbV73xuSrZ2MnXKZ?si=f3fabaa47ca4482e YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@AlexandraNinfo

Warning: This episode contains graphic discussions of child exploitation and abuse.In this episode, I sit down with Paul Hutchinson, entrepreneur, undercover operative, and producer of The Sound of Freedom, for one of the most emotional and confronting conversations I've ever had. Paul opens up about the darkest corners of the world he's entered to rescue children and the toll it's taken on his life, his soul, and his healing journey.We talk about the myths and heartbreaking stories he's witnessed firsthand, and why awareness alone isn't enough. Paul doesn't shy away from the controversy; he addresses recent media accusations head-on and shares what it really means to put your life on the line to save others.But this episode isn't just about darkness, it's about healing. Paul shares how plant-based therapy, spiritual surrender, and radical self-forgiveness changed his life, and how his healing retreats are now doing the same for survivors.If you're a parent, a truth-seeker, or someone who's ever wondered how to protect your family in a broken world, this conversation is for you.Key Moments:0:00 The Mother Who Tried to Sell Her Daughters5:29 The Truth About Child Exploitation10:14 Abuse Happens in Our Own Neighbourhoods16:01 Unconditional Love and Healthy Self-Esteem25:11 Warning Signs of Grooming31:23 The Shame Survivors Carry42:04 Why Paul Left Operation Underground Railroad51:04 The Prayer That Led to a Miracle1:00:00 “I Didn't Think Anyone Would Come”1:17:18 From Mansion and Strippers to Healing Retreats1:28:31 Why Psychedelics Need a Safe Container1:38:20 33 Years to Heal the WorldGuest Info:IG: @liberating.humanity (https://www.instagram.com/liberating.humanity/)IG: @childliberationfoundation (https://www.instagram.com/childliberationfoundation/)-Where to find Tyler Hall: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylerchall/ Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/the-tyler-hall-archives-7018241874482122753/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sirTHALL Work with Tyler: https://www.tylerchristianhall.com/

Does your teen complain that they feel “controlled,” “left out,” or “different” from their friends because of your family's standards?Are you worried that your rules might push them into rebellion—or cause them to resent you?In this candid conversation, we break down exactly how to hold high standards without creating resentment, rebellion, or emotional distance.We'll teach you how to stop parenting from the couch, stop obsessing over control, and start using CONVICTION to convince your kids to OWN the highest standards for themselves.When kids feel like they're missing out — screens, video games, or anything — it usually means we as parents need to create a family culture that is more fun, more adventurous, and more rewarding than the alternatives.In this episode, we share practical ways to help your kids understand the why behind your high standards — and how to make your life—and your family's life—so attractive and meaningful that your kids want to choose those standards for themselves.Key Takeaways:✅ How to parent without punishment or power struggles✅ Why setting high standards actually prevents rebellion✅ How to create real family connection—not just rules✅ The power of family adventure trips to shift your child's perspective✅ Why YOU need to keep leveling up if you want your kids to growIf you're ready to parent from conviction (not control), this episode is for you.

SummaryIn this episode of Service Evolution, Jim Robinson sits down again with Matt Hackett, Director of Operations at CGP, to peel back the curtain on what it means to keep projects—and people—moving in the world of service and construction. This isn't just about fixing problems; it's about reassuring, communicating, and building trust with clients when they need it most.Matt brings his years of operations experience to the table, sharing how his team at CGP approaches the whirlwind of client pain points. From major plumbing disasters to everyday maintenance issues, his philosophy stays the same: meet clients where they're at, validate their concerns, and over-communicate every step of the way. The result is clarity, confidence, and a feeling among clients that they're truly being cared for.A highlight of the episode is the story of a monumental rescue at a prominent restaurant, where CGP turned around what was forecasted as a four-month shutdown to get the business back up in just seven weeks. Matt and Jim underscore the importance of upfront planning, detailed scheduling, and daily updates for projects both large and small. Their use of technology ensures clients can easily follow progress, stay updated, and, most importantly, feel supported.They wrap up by stressing that true operational excellence isn't just about solving problems, it's about saying “yes,” building relationships, and committing to loving service every single day. If you're a service provider or a buyer, this episode is full of actionable insights to elevate your approach!Show Notes(00:00) Introduction(05:42) How CGP Is a Problem-Solving Partner(09:47) Upfront Communication in Construction Management(11:26) Guiding Long-Term Success(16:55) Effective Contractor Communication Strategies(20:40) Building Trust Through Reliable Solutions(23:19) Unconditional Love and Connection(28:31) Closing ThoughtsLinksJim Robinson CGP Maintenance and Construction ServicesMatthew Hackett

Grandpa Bill Welcome s one and ALL -Silver Streakers and all you amazing folks from 1 to 92! Welcome back to the BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour Podcast. And for those of you joining me on YouTube at @billholt8792, it's great to see your smiling faces! Grandpa Bill, fully retired for years now, still going strong with two audio tapings and one video taping daily – for eight years running! And today, we're diving deep into a powerful truth about love, inspired by a profound observation:"This 'love' was possessive, not reciprocal. It was a love that sought to extract, to control, to own. The master 'loves' the slave for what they are – a tool, an asset, a body – not for who they are as a human being."Now, those are heavy words, aren't they? They come from a place of understanding the darker side of human connection, where "love" gets twisted into something transactional and self-serving. It's a stark reminder that not all affection is created equal. When someone "loves" you for what they can get from you – whether it's your strength, your beauty, your work, or even just your presence – that's not true love. That's possession. That's about control.Think about it in our own lives, even in seemingly harmless ways. Are we sometimes seeking to "love" others for what they can do for us? Do we appreciate people for their contributions rather than their inherent worth as a unique, wonderful human being? Do we, perhaps unintentionally, try to control situations or people because we believe it's "loving" them?The beauty of unconditional love, the kind we champion here at Silver Streakers, is that it sets people free. It nurtures, it supports, it celebrates. It doesn't demand, it doesn't extract, and it certainly doesn't seek to own. It's about seeing the whole person, flaws and all, and embracing them for exactly who they are.This understanding is crucial for our holistic health and wellness. When we experience or perpetuate possessive "love," it creates stress, anxiety, and an imbalance in our hearts and minds. It can lead to resentment and disconnect. But when we practice and receive reciprocal, human-centric love, we open ourselves up to true joy, peace, and vibrant well-being. It's like a powerful workout for our hearts and minds, building strength and resilient.Grandpa Bill Asks The Audience: How can we recognize the subtle signs of possessive "love" in our own relationships, and what steps can we take to cultivate more unconditional connections?What does "being loved for who you are, not what you are" truly feel like, and how can we encourage this kind of love in our families and communities?Is your "love" truly freeing, or does it seek to control?

What is the difference between unconditional love and conditional love? Does healthy love have to include approval of all choices? Are we showing love to our children or our loved ones even when we don't approve of their choices, or when we grieve their choices? Is our love for them more selfish or more selfless? Are we wanting them to make choices that are good for US or for THEM? How do we handle it if they have different priorities or make different choices than we want them to? Are we allowing them to be their healthiest best selves or are we trying to control them?  Do we punish people when they don't do what we want? How can you provide guidance and rules without interfering with healthy development and choices? Today Dr. Beth records a conversation about these topics with a client, honing in on topics related to healthy parenting and unconditional love. This conversation was recorded spontaneously immediately following their therapy session. This client, who has several adolescent and young adult children, shared some great insights and questions, along with examples from her own childhood.

Hey mission fam! In this special episode#210, I'm sharing an incredible interview from the Christ-Centered Family Summit with Stephanie Bundrock. We dive deep into the world of missionary mindset, anxiety, and how we can support our missionaries before, during, and after their missions. I share my journey of becoming an LDS mission coach and why I'm so passionate about helping young adults navigate the unique challenges of missionary life. We talk about some game-changing strategies for managing anxiety, including my favorite technique of "becoming the compassionate watcher." I break down how parents and leaders can support missionaries by normalizing their feelings, validating their experiences, and meeting them exactly where they are - just like Christ would. Whether you're a preparing missionary, a current missionary, a return missionary, or a missionary parent, this episode is packed with insights on how to approach the mission experience with love, understanding, and emotional resilience. As a bonus, I'm offering two free resources: a Preparing Missionary Cheat Sheet and a guide with 5 Tips to Help Your Return Missionary Transition Home. These tools are designed to help you and your missionary build confidence, manage emotions, and create a Christ-centered mission experience. Grab them in the show notes, and remember - you've got this, and I'm here to support you every step of the way!
