About this episode

This episode discusses how to maintain a soft heart while building a strong backbone in relationships, emphasizing the importance of emotional balance and self-protection.

A lot of us feel like we only have two options in love: Be soft, loving, and walked all over, OR Be strong, guarded, and low-key shut down. But what if God is actually inviting you into something else: A soft heart and a strong backbone. If you’re tired of being either “too soft” or “too hard,” then this episode is sure to hit home. I'll share with you what it truly means to “be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2) and to “guard your heart” (Proverbs 4:23) without becoming cold or bitter. You'll learn how to keep a soft, loving heart while building a strong backbone that protects your peace and heart, without compromise. If you’ve been asking, “How do I love deeply and protect myself?”—this episode will feel like oxygen.
