You've heard me say this before: "If Brene Brown gets to be known as the shame researcher, Janet Newberry gets to be known as the love researcher." And, here's one thing I've discovered--
There is no love without freedom, and there is no freedom without love.
This BRAVE LOVE episode begins with a casual discussion about the freedom of summer...and freedom to ponder, rather than always declaring "right" and "wrong." The discussion gains strength when we begin to talk about relationships that are for us--and for helping us stay free...instead of relationships that benefit from our bondage.
If you've spent your childhood in America, you've breathed in a worldview and a belief system that affects your choices. We, too.
So, what choices will our generation make?
What choices will our children and grandchildren make?
People who are loved well, love well.
Restored people, restore people.
Freed people, free people.
Join us on this bold and brave episode, and stay with us for these TAKE AWAYS:
- Often entertainment tells us what to think--and, often we engage in entertainment when we're too tired to think for ourselves.
- We have the chance to help our children see the lies and find the truth instead of get stuck in the bondage of their own immaturity. Achievement alone won't solve the problem of prolonged immaturity.
- Our choices will make history--and the next generation will lead the countries of the future. Immature leaders rise to power in immature cultures. Immature cultures often live in chaos--and civil war. Mature leaders find positions of leadership because of their desire to protect freedom--not gain power. Mature cultures elect these kind of leaders.
