DNDW 9: Emotional Health and Flourishing
What if the uncomfortable emotions you're experiencing aren't sins or failures, but invitations?
In this raw conversation, Christine chats with Christy Boulware, author of Nervous Breakthrough, to talk about stewarding our mental and emotional health. This isn't about quick fixes or spiritual bypassing—it's an honest exploration of recognizing our emotions as information and invitations that deserve attention, not shame.
Christine and Christy share the messy, honest reality of stewarding emotional health while following Jesus. Most importantly, they offer what so many need to hear: "I believe you. You're not crazy. You deserve help."
DNDW 8: Stewarding Your Relational Health and Safety
Join Christine for a powerful conversation with relationship expert Bob Hamp as they explore what love does (and doesn't) look like, why mutuality is vital in healthy relationships, and how many of us have misunderstood both the mission and the two-become-one mystery of marriage.
Bob breaks down the patterns that define destructive relationships and why some people feel entitled to demand that others become less so they can feel like more. From misassigned responsibility to weaponized theology, they discuss how flawed or misguided teachings about submission, gender roles, and "dying to self" have damaged countless marriages and driven women away from the church. They also explore how both partners must remain whole to experience the oneness God intended.
If you're struggling in a relationship or supporting someone who is, this episode offers clarity, validation, and a path toward the dignity and unity God designed.
