    Season 2 Episode 17: How Being Known Can Lead to Healing with Special Guest Dr. Curt Thompson

    Season 2 Episode 17: How Being Known Can Lead to Healing with Special Guest Dr. Curt Thompson

    One of our favorite quote comes from pastor Tim Keller when he says: To be loved, but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything. It liberates us from pretense, humbles us out of our self-righteousness, and fortifies us for any difficulty life can throw at us. 

    Expert psychiatrist, speaker and author, Dr. Curt Thompson, helps us understand how we can be known and how it can lead to healing. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
