We have counseled many couples through wounds surrounding the church or their pastor. “Church hurt” is a term thrown around pretty loosely, but in this episode we talk about the idea of church hurt from a pastor’s perspective.  We’re taking on a gigantic discussion with a lot of gray area. We don’t know the nuances of your specific situation. Pastor Daniel McKillop comes to the table with wisdom & prayerfulness in preparation for this episode. Listen as we delve into the concept of spiritual authority and the specific situations where it can be abused.  Resources: 2 EROS Conferences Left This Year!

Desire is not the problem. God gave us (not just married couples) desire. It’s how we choose to honor God with this desire that makes all the difference. Today, we talked to Dr. Curt Thompson, MD and he shared some really interesting and profound insights into desire. It was a deep conversation where he really weaved together an understanding of interpersonal neurobiology & a Christian, biblical worldview of what it means to be human. You want to hear this one!
