Tonight on Chat on the Couch Wednesday, we’re talking about something we don’t discuss enough: friendship and brotherhood.

The summer program is officially coming to an end, and I’m reflecting on what these last few months working with young people taught me—not just about them, but about myself.

We’re asking some uncomfortable questions:

What’s the best thing you’ve learned about yourself?

What mistakes do you keep making over and over?

Who are the people who actually hold you accountable?

And what does it really mean to protect your peace?

I’ve started understanding why some people become guarded, stop dealing with everybody, and would rather be alone than constantly surrounded by chaos. But there’s a difference between protecting your peace and building a prison around yourself.

We’re also getting into a conversation I had with my brothers about relationships, attraction, sex, and whether people value experiencing different relationships or building something lasting with one person.

No judgment. Just an honest conversation about what our answers reveal about what we actually want.

Because sometimes the questions we ask other people expose something we’re still trying to understand about ourselves.

This is Chat on the Couch Wednesday.

Come talk.

Come disagree.

Come tell the truth.

And most importantly, ask yourself:

“What are my relationships teaching me about who I am?”

Welcome to Road to Victory.
