    Why I Struggle to Feel Close to Jesus

    In this solo episode, I’m unpacking my anxious attachment—what it looks like in my friendships, and how it’s shaped the way I relate to Jesus. I talk about that constant pull between wanting closeness and fearing distance, and how quickly I can believe the lie that one mistake makes God pull away from me. I open up about the thoughts that hit when I “mess up”—feeling rejected, overanalyzing everything, and assuming Jesus must be disappointed or done with me. But instead of staying there, I walk through practical ways I’m learning to confront those lies and ground myself in truth. This is for anyone who loves God but still wrestles with feeling secure in that love. We’re getting honest, naming the lies, and taking small, real steps toward freedom

    The Fight to Live: Faith, Cancer, and Choosing to Keep Going | James Dunn

    In this episode of Let’s Unpack, we step into one of the most honest and difficult realities of suffering—what happens when the desire to keep fighting doesn’t come easy. We sit down with James Dunn, a brother in Christ from the Southern Connecticut Church of Christ, as he shares his recent cancer diagnosis and the journey that followed. But what makes this conversation especially powerful is James’ honesty about something many people feel but rarely say out loud—the struggle to even want to fight to live. Rather than offering surface-level answers, James invites us into the real tension of faith and suffering. What does it look like to trust God when your strength feels low? When your motivation fades? When the fight itself feels overwhelming? And yet, in that tension, we also see something deeply inspiring—a quiet resilience, a decision to keep going, and a faith that is not fake, but forged in the fire. Whether you’ve been impacted by cancer, walking through your own hardship, or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers both honesty and hope. 💬 In this episode, we unpack:• The internal battle of wanting to keep fighting• How a cancer diagnosis impacts faith and identity• Being real with God in moments of weakness• Finding strength when motivation is low• Encouragement for those facing illness or supporting loved ones This episode is raw, vulnerable, and deeply human—and it reminds us that sometimes the greatest act of faith is simply choosing to keep going.

    Why do we go to Church?

    Patrick is back! 🎉 In this episode, he opens up about delivering his daughter (yes, you read that right 👀), the emotions he felt during his paternity leave, and how that season shaped his faith. Guillermo and Bianca jump in to share their personal reasons for going to church, digging into the heart behind community, worship, and love. One of our favorite takeaways from Patrick: “Church is not about what people are gonna be able to do for you; it’s about you loving people. Church becomes an opportunity for you to worship God through your love for people.” This conversation is raw, encouraging, and a reminder of why showing up matters—not just for us, but for God and for others.

    When Trust Breaks, Needs Go Unmet, and We Forget Ourselves.

    In this vulnerable conversation, Guillermo, Pat, and Bianca sit with the pain and patterns of mistrust, emotional deprivation, and self-sacrifice. Together, they explore how early wounds shape the way we love, trust, and show up — often at the cost of ourselves. They reflect on what it means to live with unmet emotional needs, to carry invisible fears into our closest relationships, and to lose parts of ourselves while trying to hold everyone else together. This episode isn’t about quick fixes — it’s about naming the hurt, understanding the roots, and beginning the long, necessary work of healing.
