Listen in on this conversation with Dr. Audrey Davidheiser and DJ Chuang and, you'll learn more about a better way to face challenging emotions as a part of me (e.g. "a part of me is sad") rather than identifying with it, like "I am sad." We also talk about the shame of dealing with grief, especially in cultures that "look down on emotions." And, get an overview of how the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model helps with healing hurts that happen in life.

Dr. Audrey Davidheiser is the author of 2 books— "Grieving Wholeheartedly: Bringing Healing to Every Part of Your Soul" https://amzn.to/4o6dAk4 & "Surviving Difficult People: When Your Faith and Feelings Clash" https://amzn.to/4ncpZ4Z

This was a live recording with Jenn Suen Chen, author of "Dim Sum and Faith: How Our Stories Form Our Souls." We talked about story, spirituality, and how our cultural narratives shape who we are and who we’re becoming.

The author's deepest prayer is that the book would serve as a resource for deeper discussion around growing in our relationship in Christ and with one another.
