You were not built for the ecosystem you’ve been surviving in.

We’ve been taught to fear the fall. We’ve spent our lives white-knuckling the ledges of our reputations, terrified that if we lose our footing, we lose our God. But what if the high place we’ve fought to keep is actually our cage? Join me for a Porch Conversation on the exhausting cycle of spiritual attainment, the trail of bodies left behind by our 'striving,' and the radical freedom found when we finally let go of the climb.

When compassion walks with domination, it results in enablement. But when compassion walks with liberty, it results in empowerment. In this conversation, I explore the 'disabling contentment' of the homed and the radical transformation of the unhomed. It’s a report from the front lines of service, where I’ve learned that the people we set out to help are often the ones who truly know the way Home.

Emotional injuries take time to dissolve, and anything not processed still owns us. It is time to stop the self-protective sweep and start the hard, gritty work of oneness. Welcome to the porch—where we allow the mosaic of pain and delight to finally breathe.
