In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Stephen Cervantes from DoctorMarriage.org to explore how we see ourselves, others, and how Jesus sees us all. We dive into the impact of shame, addiction, and early life experiences on our identity, and discuss the healing power of viewing ourselves through Jesus’s compassionate eyes. 

Together, we reflect on practical ways to break free from self-judgment and embrace a more loving, connected life—reminding ourselves that we’re all on a journey toward growth, healing, and deeper relationships, with God, ourselves, and others.
