    What To Do When You Don't Know What To Do with Dr. Curt Thompson
    Feb 13 2025
    In this episode, Jennie Allen sits down once again with Dr. Curt Thompson. They dive deep into the connection between our thoughts, emotions, and relationships, exploring how true transformation comes not just from "stopping spirals" but from deep attachment and connection with God and others. He challenges the idea that we can simply "think our way out" of struggles and instead reveals how co-regulation, secure relationships, and community are essential to emotional and spiritual health. This conversation is rich, thought-provoking, and filled with wisdom on how to rewrite the stories we tell ourselves, combat shame, and truly rest in the love of God. Key Takeaways: You are not alone in your struggles – healing happens in relationships, not isolation. Spiritual growth is about attachment – we were designed for connection with God and others. Your story matters – bringing hidden parts of yourself into the light leads to true transformation. Faith isn’t just about the future – God is preparing us now for the life to come. This is a conversation you don’t want to miss! Plus, hear why Curt and Jennie are passionate about partnering with Compassion International to support children and families in need.
