"From Survival to Sonship: Healing The Father Wound."- Mark Guerrero E 97

What happens when childhood teaches you how to survive, but never how to feel safe, trust, or receive love? In this episode, Mark shares how growing up in chaos and father wounds pushed him into survival mode, how those patterns fed addiction and identity struggles, and how Jesus brought healing and freedom. We talk about moving from living like an orphan to living as a son, how God heals deep wounds, and how sonship transforms the way we relate to God and others. A raw conversation about trauma, identity, redemption, and becoming whole. If you’ve ever wrestled with father wounds or survival mode, this episode is for you.

"Emotional Skills No One Taught Us Growing Up"- Crystal Sarbuland E96

In this episode, I sit down with a licensed marriage and family therapist and my former therapist (Crystal Sarbuland) to talk about something most of us were never taught, emotional skills. We get honest about how the way we were raised shapes how we process emotions, communicate, and handle relationships today. From not knowing how to express what we feel, to avoiding hard conversations, to reacting in ways we don’t fully understand, we unpack where those patterns come from. More importantly, we talk about how to recognize those gaps and begin building healthier emotional habits over time. If you have ever thought, “Why do I respond like this?” or “Why is this so hard for me?” this conversation will help you put language to it and take your next step forward.
