I saw this card at a coffee shop the other day. While there is certainly some truth to the reality of married life and it’s challenges, particularly when there are kids in the mix, I deeply believe that there is much more for your marriage than this. If you find yourself in a season like this, let’s talk! We don’t have to wait for things to fall apart before finding support on our journey to connection and intimacy! #marriagetherapy #connection #intimacy #relationships #communication #therapist

Do not stop reading, researching, and learning, but if your learning about injustice, racism, privilege, and prejudice does not include deep relationships with those different than you, our world will not change.

There is so much reactivity happening within and around us. We need to take this seriously. Please take 7 minutes and sit with me as we wrestle together with t...he challenges our own reactivity brings as we attempt to engage with, listen to, and be empathetic toward. This is Episode 8 from my Grounded Moments Podcast. All episodes available wherever you get your podcast, and video is available at www.recenterkc.org/grounded-moments

We cannot strategize our way into relationship. Relationships are not transactions. The only way into relationship is by relationship itself. This is true when... building relationships with people who look like us. And it is true when building relationships with people who look different than us. It’s the same work. Let’s be people who build relationships intentionally. See more

Pastor friends of mine, specifically white pastors, please take 10 minutes to listen as you prepare for this weekend. These moments matter, and there's a piece to this I want to make sure we don't miss so that we do not cause further injury in efforts to bring care.

It is incredibly difficult to be our best when we do not feel safe. While we often recognize the significance of physical safety, relational and emotional safet...y can have an equal or greater impact of our sense of stabilty. Episode 13 of Grounded Moments explores the impact that stabilization (or destabilization) of our sense of safety has on the way we live, love, and lead.
