Listen "S2 E8: Connecting with Friends"
Episode Synopsis
Today we discuss lots of reasons why we may struggle to connect to friends, and some ways to make our experiences with each other so much better. The takeaways from this episode are:
MIND: Accept them as they are. Don’t try to change them. Don’t prove them wrong. Don't have an agenda or expectations. (Lose all the "shoulds.")
BODY: Show Up. Be Seen. Be involved in some way - physically show up to support. (Attend an event, drop by for a visit, go for a walk, listen, ask questions.) Make time to nurture relationships. Support. Encourage. Share in their joy.
PURPOSE: “Mourn with those that mourn.” The scriptures don't say “give a pep talk to those that mourn” or “try to help them feel better.” It says to mourn. We are supposed to MOURN. We are supposed to feel discomfort together. Imagination is the way to compassion for things we haven’t experienced.
