What if God was excited to show off his workmanship in who we are and how we are? Is being a human with limitations and blind-spots the end of the story? Sometimes we act like it, but we’re of the opinion that self-discovery can be really helpful as it contributes to conflict resolution and stronger relationships all around. In this conversation, we discuss the beauty of self-discovery, self-love, and how knowledge of self coupled with knowledge of God help us to grow in love for God, others, and ourselves.

We are all familiar with our own insecurities—probably too familiar—but how familiar are we with the insecurities of others? As we try to learn how to better understand insecurity, we're opening up about some of our own vulnerable moments. Looking back at the way Jesus encountered people who were vulnerable, we're also starting to see that allowing empathy and compassion to win the day can provide room for much needed healing.

To kick off our first season, we are being brave and talking about dating behaviors. Yes, all that drama that most of us love to talk about behind closed doors, and most definitely hate to go through. We’re talking honestly about the pressures of dating as a Christian (some pressures perpetuated by the church, some by society) and about some behaviors we’ve seen and acted out ourselves that deserve some reflection. Can it be helped? We hope so, and everyone has a part to play.

We are two friends who love to talk about the things that matter. We’ve also found that a lot of people we know are drawn to some of the deeper life questions. In our discussions, we think it’s important to have a balanced approach. So, we’re determined to ask and reason well with compassion. But before we officially start our first season, we thought it might be helpful to introduce ourselves. (Who even are these girls?) We are Erica and Celeste. Nice to meet you!Say hi to us on Instagram, we’d love to hear from you. @love.and.pod
