In this powerful episode, we have real talk about spiritual bypassing, emotional healing, and faith-based growth. We unpack what spiritual bypassing really means — using faith or spiritual practices to avoid emotional pain — and how it quietly affects our relationships, family life, and personal growth.

We also share personal stories from our marriage, insights from hard family conversations, and honest reflections on answering tough questions from kids about life and death. This episode dives deep into emotional intelligence, accountability, and inner healing through faith.

If you’ve ever struggled with avoiding your emotions in the name of “staying positive”, or if you want to learn how to face your feelings and grow spiritually without suppressing what’s real — this is for you.

✨ In this episode you’ll learn:

• What spiritual bypassing is and how to recognize it in your life

• How to navigate emotional pain, relationships, and personal growth

• Why faith doesn’t mean avoiding hard emotions

• How to have real, healing conversations in your family and marriage

• Practical steps for emotional and spiritual healing

🙏 Whether you’re on a faith journey, working on emotional maturity, or seeking healthy family communication, this conversation will help you grow stronger inside and out.
