What We Really Want: Conversations About Connection

FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE to download new episodes as they release!

If it's true that "...the opposite of addiction is not sobriety...the opposite of addiction is connection," there are lots of people who need to discover what true, healthy connection looks like. Whether the struggle is with addiction, toxic relationship dynamics, or something else, we've all tried to meet our needs in unhealthy ways. Way too often, the things we run to for comfort leave us feeling even more disconnected and alone than before.

Through conversations about the many ways we can connect, we offer an invitation to discover and move toward what we really want, so we can live the lives we were created for.

Awaken (awakenrecovery.com) helps men and women whose lives have been wrecked by unwanted/addictive sexual behaviors and sexual betrayal trauma. We hope the podcast will help not only those struggling sexually, but anyone who seeks healthier ways of finding connection.

It's always fun and encouraging to talk with others whose work is in the same space as ours. NICK LIBERTO is the executive director at Proven Ministries, an organization committed to "seeing a revival of sexual integrity throughout the entire Bride of Christ." They provide support and resources for men, women, and ministry leaders.

Nick is also the co-host of the I'm Telling God About This podcast, and recently published his first book, a satirical how-to guide called "How to Remain Humble When You've Never Been Wrong in Your Life: A Self-Help Book for the Man Who's Never Needed One." We have a lot of fun talking about that.

But the topic of humility is not just for satire, it's a critical part of healing and recovering from unwanted s*xual behaviors, p*rn addiction, etc. We get into a great discussion on the role of humility in living healthy and free.

Episode 49 | Nick Liberto: Humility is a Secret Superpower will be available Tuesday, October 28th!
