Ever wondered what it takes to truly embrace patience in the midst of recovery? Wes Thompson and Austin Hill dive into this often-overlooked virtue, exploring its significance in the journey of transformation. With a sprinkle of humour, they discuss how our culture prizes speed and instant gratification, leaving patience as a rare gem. You'll hear candid conversations about the challenges of slowing down and dealing with the 'peopling' that makes life messy.
The hosts reflect on patience as a character quality that goes unnoticed when it's healthy, yet becomes glaringly apparent when absent. They highlight patience's role in conflict resolution, emphasising how it helps in responding thoughtfully rather than reacting impulsively. With references to Christian spirituality and psychology, this episode is a heartfelt reminder that real change takes time and patience is crucial in facing life's trials without losing one's temper.
