About Return to Heart

What if the path to real transformation isn't found in more information, but in deeper conversation? From Tin Man Ministries, Return to Heart brings together seasoned theologians and mental health professionals with over 100 years of pastoral and clinical experience who've walked the journey in their own lives from brokenness to recovery of heart and wholeness. Through authentic conversations at the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and theology, Return to Heart is a dialogue about topics that matter most like shame, attachment, identity, belonging, and finding those parts of you that got lost along the way to surviving. Return to Heart is an invitation to come home to honest connection with God, home to intimate relationships that matter to you, and home to the life your heart was made for. Return to Heart releases a new episode every other Wednesday morning.

Like you don't hand your 11-year-old. Now, one day he keeps playing soccer. He's going to be squatting weights and bench pressing and all the things you do in athletics, but not yet. So you're not going to hand him that regimen yet to do that. Yet when we are telling our stories to our children, we are placing in their hands that weight for them to carry with us and so part of that is like how much of the weight are they ready for that's right and so i think the two two things so far we have more more territory to cover before we're done here but the to be sure that we are um remembering this is new to them it's going to change their paradigm of how they see their own lives in the lives of their parents so it's new and And secondly, it must be done with boundaries because anytime, whatever we share, they feel it.
