On this episode: Aaron makes a sports joke! Nate talks to his first sponsor. They also discuss funny t-shirts, stickers, and Kevin-Kevin! The NEW Samson App is out (see links below)!This week, Nate and Aaron interview Bill and Kristi Gaultiere. Bill is a psychologist and ordained pastor and Kristi is a psychotherapist and both are published authors. They co-found Soul Shepherding in Irvine, California. They discuss deeper ways to connect with God as they understand themselves at a deeper level. Bill and Kristi help us learn to be empathetic towards ourselves, so that we can give it to others. Is empathy nature or nurture? Do you have self shame that prevents you from receiving love, grace, and care? What is empathy fatigue? And also the topic of HSP - Highly sensitive person, which includes 20% of humans! All this, and more!Links:
