235. What's On Our Mind- Love That Transforms
Manage episode 488343489 series 2821006
Romantic Awakening, Divine Listening, and the Inner Self
What does it mean to fall in love, not just with a person, but with the mystery of life itself?
In this heartfelt and thought-provoking episode of What's On Our Mind, Jerry and Scott reflect on the deep emotional and spiritual themes raised in recent episodes and discuss two new series: Jerry and Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue, and What's Your Spiritual Story?
From romantic love and divine connection to shadow work and self-integration, they explore how transformation often begins with listening—really listening—to our hearts, our partners, and the quiet whisper of God.
Scott shares personal growth from theater, marriage, and divine interruptions. Jerry opens up about his "real conversion" which was not to religion, but to love itself.
Together, they trace the difference between merging and mutuality, between fantasy and devotion, and between reaction and responsibility.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever asked: Can I really be known, and loved, as a whole person?
