“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” Ecclesiastes 3:11
A friend doubles your joy and halves your sorrows. (Old Proverb)
Trauma occurs when a person experiences a tragic happening, and they have NO place to take their pain. So, the feelings get frozen because they have no place to go except suppressed, repressed, hidden, gone, gotten rid of, disassociated from.
Intuition + Suspicion + Questions = Discernment
Intuition is God-given. It is a sense of what is going on around you.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
Our most powerful needs are belonging and mattering.
“Needs of the Heart” by Dr. Chip Dodd, Chapter 9 “Guidance,” Page 51
Impoverishment is not knowing your heart and not being able to connect with yourself, others, and God.
We come out of the womb looking for who is looking for us.
“The Voice of the Heart” by Dr. Chip Dodd
We are born with 2 primary needs: the need to belong and the need to matter.
The need to belong is the need to be accepted as I am created.
The need to matter is to be valued for what I bring to creation.

Episode Highlights
“Answer To Life:
Do you like me? I Like You.
Circle ‘Yes’ or ‘No’”
The brain is always asking, “Are you safe?” and “Do you care?”
“The Perfect Loss” by Chip Dodd
Quote from Chapter 3, p. 51
I don’t see…so that I won’t feel…so that I won’t wind up being needy…so that I won’t wind up trusting that someone is going to risk or be with me in the midst of that…and then also I can’t talk about what is actually happening inside me.
Redemption, restoration, recreation, and recovery are real and can occur at any time. As long as there is breath, there is hope.
God’s first question is “Where are you?” Genesis 3:9
We are designed by God to be needy. Our hearts are bigger than our biochemistry.
Neediness is the key that unlocks the treasure trove of God’s blessings in our lives.
“The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who hear him; he hears their cry and saves them.” Psalm 145:18
“The LORD upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.” Psalm 145:14
“…the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it.“
Deuteronomy 30:14
We are feeling creatures who can think, NOT thinking creatures who have to feel.
The heart takes precedence over everything.
Virginia Apgar

Will the baby cry out…feel? (feelings)
Will the baby reach out their hands to the person they are looking for? (needs)
Will the baby crave?
Babies come out of the womb looking for who is “looking” for them. They come out craving emotional and spiritual connection with their caregiver (usually their mother) before they ever seek biological food. They don’t come out of the womb seeking milk. They come out of the womb seeking the sustenance of emotional and spiritual connection to the being of another person. They come out craving relationship and connection.
Ask . Seek . Knock
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”
Matthew 7:7-8
Ask - articulate the feelings, needs, desires, and longings of your heart (a cry out.)
Seek – (a reach out.)
Knock – (crave.)
“And he said: ‘Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.’” Matthew 18:3
8 Feelings – Sad, Hurt, Fear, Anger, Shame, Guilt, Lonely, Glad
Spiritual Root System – Feelings, Needs, Desire, Longings, Hope

Episode Highlights
Intro song “Spirit” by Judah & the Lion
“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:29-31
God made you. You are created in His image. He designed you for a purpose. “You’ll never outsmart your design.”
Repentance is “coming home.”

YouTube Introduction to the Spiritual Root System
We’re made to live and live fully.
When you look at someone, you’re looking at yourself. We’re all made out of the same dust. The deeper the denial about that, the sicker a person becomes.
