This week, Jake and Bob are joined by Duane and Carrie Daunt to discuss what living out our identity of father or mother can look like as a biological parent. Duane and Carrie share the challenges and joys of parenting a large family and the role sacrifice plays in creating a strong and loving home. They also talk about how their own woundedness has impacted their parenting journey, the role of community, and what to do when spouses disagree.
 
Key Points:
Duane’s sacrifice and willingness to put the needs of his family above his own is an essential aspect of creating a loving home. Community and mentorship play a crucial role in raising children and passing on the faith. Parenting a large family comes with unique challenges but also brings great joy and fulfillment. Our own woundedness and past experiences can impact our parenting journeys. It is important to seek healing and restoration in those areas. We are human and will make mistakes. Seeking to reconcile with your children afterwards is important for healing and repair.  
The Pillars of Duane and Carrie’s Parenting Style:
Be conscious of the parenting you received growing up and how that has affected you The husband sacrificing creates the foundation of a loving home Both spouses should have vision and alignment Support from the community is necessary The Catholic faith is the centerpiece of life Do what it takes to be involved in your children’s lives You may never see the fruit of your parenting efforts, but that doesn’t matter Be open to feedback Be Holy Spirit led The messages your kids are hearing explicitly and implicitly matter and be attentive to them Pray for the Holy Spirit to fill your inadequacies as a parent Always attempt to repair  Root your kids in the truth

This week, Jake and Bob are once again joined by Heather Khym to conclude their four part  series on the four identities of a human. In this episode, they focus on the identity of father/mother, discuss maturation versus healing, and explore how unresolved wounds in the other three identities surface in the identity of mother/father. They also discuss the unique yet complementary qualities of a good mother or father and how they represent different traits of God’s character. Whether you have biological or spiritual children, remember the key to experiencing the fullness of our role as mother/father is becoming little and allowing God to love and heal us.
 
Key Points:
Mothers and fathers have unique giftings that can bless their children in different ways. Mothers and fathers cannot be replaced by each other and represent different aspects of God's character. Corresponding words and deeds are important in embodying the roles of mother and father.  Becoming little and allowing God to love and heal us is key to experiencing the fullness of our roles as mothers and fathers.

This week, Jake and Bob are once again joined by Heather Khym to continue with part three of their four part series on the four identities of a human. In this episode, they focus on the identity of bride/bridegroom and delve into the interconnectedness of each identity and why healing is essential to living them out fully. They discuss self-giving vs. self-seeking love, the role of bride/bridegroom in every vocation, and how learning to love others well is an important aspect of our healing journeys. 
 
Key Points:
The four identities of a person (son/daughter, brother/sister, bride/bridegroom, mother/father) are interconnected and require healing and integration to be lived out fully. The healing process involves both receiving love and learning to love well through practice and maturation. The sacraments play a crucial role in the restoration of relationships and offer a framework for understanding love and healing within various vocations and states of life. The bride/bridegroom identity points towards our universal call to love within different states of life (single, married, and religious life).

This week, Jake and Bob are once again joined by Heather Khym to continue with part two of their four part series on the four identities of a human. In this episode, they focus on the identity of brother/sister and explore the sense of belonging, safety, and camaraderie that stems from these types of relationships. They also delve into the wounds a broken brother/sister relationship can cause, discuss the healing power of healthy affection, and how the saints can become our spiritual siblings. 

 
Key Points:
Healthy brother and/or sister relationships provide safety, camaraderie, and healing through healthy affection and mutual support. Woundedness in brother and sister relationships can lead to deep despair and a sense of not belonging. The power of brotherhood and sisterhood lies in the invitation to belong and the opportunity to heal from wounds. The saints can become our spiritual brothers and sisters.

This week, Jake and Bob are joined by Heather Khym to begin a four part series on the four identities of a human: son/daughter, brother/sister, husband/wife, father/mother. In this episode, they focus on the identity of our sonship/daughtership, explore why this is the foundational identity, and unpack the core realities behind this identity from both a masculine and feminine perspective. They end the episode by sharing personal stories of healing and restoration within their identity as a beloved son/daughter.

 
Key Points:
Identity is bestowed by God and is a gift to be received. A solid foundation in sonship and daughtership is essential for all other identities to flourish. Trust and receptivity are key elements of a secure identity. Wounds and brokenness can disrupt and distort our understanding of our identity. Healing and restoration are necessary to fully embrace our true identity as beloved children of God.  Healing comes through receiving love and being rooted in God's love.

This week, Jake and Bob discuss the current state of therapy and its increasing popularity in society. They explore the factors contributing to the rise of interest in therapy, highlight the importance of philosophy and theology in therapy training, and reflect on the importance of objective truth in the healing process. 
 
Key Points:
Therapy has become increasingly popular in society, with more people seeking it out and discussing it openly. The breakdown of trust in various institutions, including the church, has contributed to the rise in therapy as a means of finding support and guidance. A solid foundation in philosophy, anthropology, and theology is essential in therapy training to provide a proper understanding of the human person and their needs. Subjective experiences without objective truth and care can be dangerous, and therapy should aim to integrate both subjective and objective realities. Resilience and the ability to repair are part of human nature and therefore are important aspects of therapy and personal growth. The sacraments provide structure and guidance in relationships and can contribute to healing and growth.  Therapy should be situated within the context of faith and community, and not isolated from them. Discernment is crucial when considering a career in therapy, and motivations should be rooted in a genuine call rather than popularity or personal dysfunction. Healthy Christian communities have the potential to provide healing and support, and may reduce the need for therapy. Jesus should be the centerpiece of the healing journey.
