S11E2: Navigating Fragility

In this episode of The Being Known Podcast, Curt Thompson, MD and Pepper Sweeney explore the increasing societal fragility and its impact on our ability to repair relational ruptures. They discuss how diminished resilience and imagination hinder our capacity to connect, drawing insights from biblical narratives and interpersonal neurobiology. This conversation addresses the challenges posed by social divisions, the concept of "othering," and the importance of community in fostering healing and restoration. They invite you, the listener, to reflect on your own experiences of rupture and repair, considering the role of faith and community in navigating these challenges. _________________________________________________________________________ CURT THOMPSON, MD BOOKS • The Deepest Place https://www.amazon.com/Deepest-Place-... • The Soul of Desire https://www.ivpress.com/the-soul-of-d... • The Soul of Shame https://www.ivpress.com/the-soul-of-s... • Anatomy of the Soul https://www.amazon.com/Anatomy-Soul-C...
