    166. Belonging Part 4 - How to Create Belonging

    Rebekah's Courses - Enroll Today! Coaching with Rebekah In this episode of the Belonging Series, we flip the script: instead of waiting for others to make us feel included, we discover how to carry belonging with us. Drawing from Scripture, everyday practices, and even timeless wisdom from How to Win Friends and Influence People, we’ll explore both the simple tools that create connection and the deeper steps that nurture true, trusted relationships. We’ll also tackle one of the biggest barriers to belonging, the “they should call me” mindset, and reframe it with the freedom of agency in Christ. This episode will equip you to stop waiting for belonging and start creating it, wherever you go.

    165: Belonging Part 3: When Love Has Strings Attached - How Conditional Love Blocks Belonging

    Rebekah's Website Have you ever felt like you can never truly relax in relationship, that you have to keep performing, pleasing, or proving yourself to be worthy of love? You might be carrying the hidden wounds of conditional love. Whether it came from childhood, religious legalism, or performance-based approval, conditional love gives us a false view of, well, love. It breeds defensiveness, self-hatred, fear of vulnerability, and ultimately keeps us from the deep connections we long for. In this episode, we’ll explore the emotional, relational, and spiritual cost of growing up with “love that had strings attached,” and why it becomes such a barrier to belonging in adulthood. We’ll look at how Scripture reveals the freedom of God’s unconditional love, unpack the ways our nervous system responds to early rejection, and outline practical steps for breaking free from the performance trap so we can live from a place of security, not fear. If you’ve ever longed for a community where you can be fully known and fully loved, this conversation will help you start healing the barriers that have been holding you back.

    164. Belonging Part 2: Barriers to Belonging (Internal & External Things that Might Be Getting in the Way)

    Rebekah's Website We all long to be known, loved, and accepted but sometimes, without even realizing it, we’re the ones putting up walls. In this episode, I'll unpack the subtle and not-so-subtle barriers that keep us from true belonging. From internal struggles like caring too much about what others think, to modern challenges like social media’s fake connections, to the deep issue of not knowing ourselves well enough to share our real story. These obstacles matter. You’ll discover: The internal barriers that quietly sabotage connection. The modern cultural forces that make real belonging harder than ever. Why self-knowledge is a prerequisite to being known by others. Practical ways to start dismantling these walls so you can create the connection you crave. If you’ve ever felt like you were standing in a crowded room yet still completely unknown, this episode will help you see what’s in the way—and what you can do about it.
