In this episode, we discuss the concept of "grit" and how guy's can get their's back or deepen the grit they already got.    

Is masculinity celebrated in our culture? Or is it demeaned and labeled "dangerous." In this episode, we discuss what culture and the popular media say about masculinity, and define the true definition of what it means to "be a man."   

To have healthy relationships, there has to be confrontation. We have to tell people how they've affected us, and give them permission to tell us how we've affected them. In this episode, we'll share how to "clean up" the messes that inevitably come from an intimate and healthy relationship.

Communication is hard. And it's especially hard with certain people (we're all probably thinking about a person or two!). In this episode, we give some specific tools on how to create healthy connection through phenomenal communication.

For the last part in this series, we tackle the hardest question of all: "If God exists, is He really good?" We get deeply personal as we discuss our experiences with faith and spirituality. This episode will make you question your thoughts surrounding God, regardless of whether you are a Christian or not. 

Ever have questions about faith like, "is spirituality nonsense? Is God real? Is God good?

Several years ago Shawn launched a unique church in LA, Expression 58, and has been explaining a provocative view of God ever since!

Ever feel like you are alone?

Most of us stay in some relationships too long, and we bail on others too early. In this episode, we discuss how to navigate relationships healthily...and make amazing choices about who we do life with.

We've been told a thousand times to "forgive," but what does that really mean? And even if we are willing, how do we forgive someone completely—without having to revisit that forgiveness time and again? In this episode, we share the deep process of forgiveness that leads to transformation and restoration!    

We can feel like we're really healthy, until we visit home...and then we realize just how messed up we still are! What is it about family that brings out our brokenness?  A big part of stepping fully into a healthy life is becoming a fully powerful adult, which requires that we become peers to our parents. In this episode, we discuss how we can become equals with our parents.  

In relationships, what do you think is the root cause of confusion? A lot of people assume it is what is being "done wrong." But what if the source of confusion is actually what is being assumed? In most relationships, both individuals are making assumptions about the other person's expectations, reactions, and motivations. It's time we remove our pre-conceived judgments, and learn to connect with others for who they are...not who we believe them to be.  

Most of us have big dreams. We want to be in incredible relationships, have amazing jobs, and live out adventures. Over time, however, we can start to feel jaded about ever having our dreams fulfilled. Ironically, sometimes we must learn how to respond well to having our dreams fulfilled, as part of the process to having them fulfilled.  In this episode, Blair and Justin discuss what to do AFTER your dreams are fulfilled. They share how to enjoy their fulfillment, how not to sabotage them, and how to allow them to grow and multiply.
