Episode24 - DON’T GIVE UP! With guest Jonah Brian Cruz Melchor

In the last episode we talked about brokenness, but in today’s episode we take a personal look into the life of a man who knew nothing but brokenness throughout his childhood and even in to much of his adulthood. Jonah Brian Cruz Melchor shares some of his healing journey, past and present, and how he is learning something we all need to learn: to heal, we must learn to trust. And when trusting seems impossible, know that possibility lies in the courage to embrace different. Different steps. Different ways. Including the courage to be seen, heard, and known for what truly are. In this episode we talk about:

• Effects of brokenness
• How brokenness fuels
• Steps to heal

We need community to heal. Safe, trustworthy community. The kind we can create around the table. The kind that sees us. Hears us. And loves us anyway. The kind where we see others. Hear others. And love them anyway. I welcome you to join me Around the Table Today with my guest Jonah Brian Cruz Melchor, a fighter who has learned to fight differently, and my very dear friend.

Episode 23 - Brokenness and Tables

Brokenness is a big topic. There is personal brokenness and relational brokenness all the way up to world brokenness. But it starts in the heart. Of each person. Why is our world so broken? Because people are so broken. And people are broken mainly because of receiving what God never intended them to have, or not receiving what He did intend them to have. What do Tables have to do with brokenness? Tables are a place of provision for the healing needed in our hearts. Tables represent acceptance, relationships, and trust. They Represent a community of people who have chosen to share some of their life with one another. The good, the bad, and the ugly. And love each other anyway. We need tables to heal. We need community to heal. None of us heal in a silo.

In today’s episode, we talk about:

• How neglecting simplicity has complicated issues
• One of the simplest answer to more complex problems
• A challenge that requires courage for a simple act of transformation

I welcome you to join me Around the Table today as we look at what has led to much of our brokenness... and one of God’s best ways for us all to heal.

Episode 22 - Connecting Through Conflict

Connecting through conflict is an insightful approach to growing relationships. We are at our most vulnerable when we are emotionally hot because our passions and convictions are showing whether we want them to or not. This allows us the opportunity to see into another’s heart beyond the anger, hurt, or frustration of the moment. It allows us the opportunity to see the pain in there. To seethe wounded places and choose to courageously and compassionately show up with genuine curiosity and compassion. In the heat of the conflict. Or not. This is an initiative for the more emotionally mature. But it is an invitation to all involved to hit pause and seek to understand what is going on that is deeper than the obvious. In today’s episode, you can learn how to:

• Utilize conflict to connect with others
• See into the heart, the pain, and the convictions of others during conflict
• Say yes to the opportunity to help others heal in the midst of conflict.

I welcome you to join me Around the Table today as we look at our hearts and the hearts of others and realize the incredible opportunity we have to be building bridges with one another instead of tearing each other down.
