It's been said that everyone's sense of self is shaped and influenced by the intimate relationships we've had in our lives, those healthy or unhealthy attachments that've shaped how we relate with oursleves and others. .... Sounds like bad news for those of us who've had really dysfunctional or unhealthly attachments right? The question you might be asking then is; Does that need to define how we relate with oursleves and others the rest of our lives? .... Join us this week as we welcome our special guest, author, teacher and counsellor, John Eldredge, onto the podcast to delve into these things and shed light on these questions.

"And I pray that he would unveil within you the unlimited riches of his glory and favor until supernatural strength floods your innermost being with his divine might and explosive power. Then, by constantly using your faith, the life of Christ will be released deep inside you, and the resting place of his love will become the very source and root of your life. Then you will be empowered to discover what every holy one experiences—the great magnitude of the astonishing love of Christ in all its dimensions. How deeply intimate and far-reaching is his love! How enduring and inclusive it is! Endless love beyond measurement that transcends our understanding—this extravagant love pours into you until you are filled to overflowing with the fullness of God!" Eph 3:16-19 TPT .... "Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture: They kill us in cold blood because they hate you. We’re sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one. None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us." Rom 8:37-39
