We've all experienced having crushes at some point in our lives. Having butterflies in our stomach or feeling nervous around that certain person we like. 

A "crush" is a term used to describe someone to whom we have a strong attraction to. It can be someone who helps us establish our standards for love or our ideal partner.  Crushing on someone may be both uncomfortable and exciting but it can reveal a lot about ourselves since they are a mix of our unspoken aspirations and desires.

In Episode 98, we are joined by Carina Cunningham, as she shares the three types of crushes, what they are, and the information they reveal about ourselves. She also discusses the value of having a strong foundation of love from parents and siblings, as well as the distinction between a crush and a healthy attraction. 

Because crushes are a reflection of ourselves, having admiration for someone can help us grow and understand ourselves better. The three types of crushes discussed in this episode will help you identify what feelings you may have for a person, and how to act and react properly, hopefully to also help you avoid any rash decisions you may regret. 

We all have someone in mind that we truly like, and investing our love and energy in that one person should be worth it. Listen to explore and learn about the concept of crushes and truly understand the essence of love in Episode 98!

Isolation rules are beginning to relax in different parts of Australia, but are you going to get separation anxiety once it’s all over?

And even though you don’t want to admit it… you most likely have a favourite child. But have you ever wondered if your child has a favourite parent? Daddo asked his kids the same question, and his advice is... “Don’t ask them.”  

Plus Holly is super confused about the new school rules, but what she ISN’T confused about, is wanting the kids to go back!

"The Tower of Babel and New Languages." That's the title of today's episode, which has Genesis 11:1-9 as its main text. In today's study, we look at this classic story of God confusing the languages of mankind and the resultant spreading out of the people. We also consider the classic evolutionary model proposed to explain the origin of language and how that model is falling into disfavor because of its inadequacies to account for the most recent conclusions.
