A quick note if you’re new here: We are in season two of the Human Together podcast, and we are taking a deep-dive into the topic of belonging. You can listen here as well as on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
About the Episode
Sarah talks with Chuck DeGroat (professor, licensed therapist, & author of Healing What’s Within) about how so many of us live “habitually disconnected.” Together, they explore what it might look like to pay attention to our internal landscape and longings as a means of finding our way back home to ourselves, to God, and to each other.
