Hurt and Shame (9)
  1. We've found Katie Koplin, in the midst of moving into an old church, and working on her training to become a Christian counselor.
  2. This month, we discuss the book "The Soul of Shame" by Dr. Curt Thompson. It was a really fun conversation, and Katie called it her top read of the year.
  3. We finally finish up our conversation on birth by talking about postpartum and breastfeeding vs formula.
  4. What if you could have a conversation with someone who was theologically sound, a great communicator, and an experienced licensed therapist to talk about the emotions we struggle with, and what to do with them?
  5. Is it cooler to think there is a grand secret conspiracy based on human trafficking or that human trafficking happens far more often and far more normally than we are comfortable with? And how did we create a culture that produced Marilyn Manson and is simultaneously shocked and offended by him? Oh yeah, we are really all idiots incapable of running our own lives let alone the world!
  6. Who is right in these crazy times? The only oppressed One who is not the oppressor: Jesus.
  7. Jesus is a real person talking to you and feeding you, which is beyond intellectual Christianity!
  8. Nuance, listening, patience, dialogue. These things seem missing as we analyze our problems in America! We get to speak with a former police officer and current pastor, Tim Barkett, to hear his take from the perspective of those who serve. Great interview.
  9. Who is vulnerable? How do we help? Raleigh Sadler walks us through how we can look at our community and love our neighbor in need.
