Show notesBreaking the Cycle: The Flywheel of Disconnection and the Power of ConnectionIn 'Words of Wisdom 137,' Josh explores the essential role of connection in human flourishing. He introduces the concept of the 'disconnection flywheel,' explaining how disconnection from God, oneself, and others perpetuates a cycle of isolation and sin. Josh outlines a pathway to breaking this cycle through awareness, self-honesty, and authentic engagement with others, eventually creating a 'flywheel of connection' that leads to restoration and growth. Featuring quotes from Mother Teresa and Diedrich Bonhoeffer, the episode concludes with reflective questions to guide personal journaling and prayer.00:00 Introduction: The Power of Connection00:58 Understanding the Disconnection Flywheel01:53 Breaking Free: The Path to Connection02:53 Quotes on Connection and Isolation03:34 Reflective Questions for Personal Growth04:06 Final Thoughts: Embrace ConnectionAbout Josh Kalsbeek, LMFT• As a Psychoherapist Josh helps people overcome their greatest struggles.•Founder and CEO of Great Oaks Collective, and it's flagship program Overcome, a 10-Week virtual Intensive Outpatient Program for Christian couples experiencing sexual betrayal and addiction. www.greatoakscollective.com. • Sign up to receive Josh's weekly email newsletter, Words of Wisdom. ​---LinksConnection to God​Dietrich Bonhoeffer, ​Life Together​---Support this podcast by buying a book through one of the links above.Support the podcast
