This is not a conversation about whether you like the music or the style or the performer... if you don't then it just wasn't meant for you. This is not meant to be divisive in any way; I&#3...

Buckle up! This is a tough one. I was very fortunate to be able to sit down once again with Micah and discuss how we're walking forward in relationships when TRUST has been destroyed. Betrayal in a relationship can be a great destroyer of connection, intimacy, and trust-- and sometimes it's from a major infraction, but often it's from a thousand tiny betrayals over time. We would all do well to li...
