"Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens" - J.R.R. Tolkein

On this week's episode, Scott and Sophia spend time discussing the concept of what it means to be a faithful and loyal friend.

Loyalty and faithfulness tend to be used in contexts where hiding someone's secrets or shying away from honesty to our friends are what's expected. But what if those two traits are actually require us to bring to light what has been in darkness? Or to dive deep into the hard parts of life with someone, instead of running away for comforts' sake?

Scott and Sophia also nerd out about Tolkein and The Lord of the Rings a few times, so give this episode a listen if you also enjoy Tolkein references!

This season, Scott and Sophia are talking about Building Healthy Community. And this week, they dive into the topic of forgiveness.

What does forgiveness have to do with community? Well, when (not if) those in your community let you down.....how are you going to handle it? How would you like others to handle it when you let them down?

Scott and Sophia dissect forgiveness and how to develop this vital skill for life and for building healthy community.

Doing an episode on boundaries in the middle of our season on Building Healthy Community may seem odd. However, boundaries are so important if you want your community to truly be "healthy"!

Scott and Sophia dive into this topic and discuss how boundaries can be a solid tool for you to use in your journey of building healthy community.

Give this episode a listen if you struggle with people crossing lines with you, not knowing where you stand with people, or even if you want to figure out how to better communicate your needs to those around you!
