Listen "Episode 32: When Love Becomes Control, The Fine Line Between Caring and Controlling"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Juan and Jenna open up a tender conversation about what happens when love starts to look more like control.
Sometimes, our attempts to protect or help the people we care about are really ways we try to manage fear — fear of failure, rejection, or loss.
Together, they explore:
How control disguises itself as “care”
Why fear often hides beneath our good intentions
The difference between protecting and possessing
What it looks like to love like God — patiently, freely, without manipulation
How to begin trusting again when control has always felt like safety
Whether you’re a leader, a parent, or a partner, this episode invites you to pause and ask:
Is my love freeing the people I care about… or trying to manage them?
Because real love doesn’t tighten its grip — it loosens it.
