Faith minus vulnerability is fundamentalism

Shame derives its power from being unspeakable.

Here's what is truly at the heart of wholeheartedness: Worthy now, not if, not when, we're worthy of love and belonging now. Right this minute. As is.

If we don’t allow ourselves to experience joy and love, we will definitely miss out on filling our reservoir with what we need when. . . . hard things happen.

Do you light up when your kids are coming in the room or do you become the instant critic?

Wholeheartedness. There are many tenets of Wholeheartedness, but at its very core is vulnerability and worthiness; facing uncertainty, exposure, and emotional risks, and knowing that I am enough.

You can choose courage or you can choose comfort, but you can't have both.
