Dea Irby - The Art of Authentic Community

In this illuminating episode of Bleeding Daylight, Rodney Olsen speaks with Dea Irby, a community-building expert whose journey includes owning a tea room, becoming a successful realtor, raising eight children, and authoring multiple books. Dea shares her powerful CLAIM framework (Chosen, Loved, Acknowledged, Invested in, Matter) for building authentic communities where people feel they truly belong, whether in business settings or personal relationships.

 

Drawing from her faith and diverse life experiences, Dea explores the tension between our individualistic tendencies and our innate desire for connection. She offers practical wisdom for creating safe spaces where people can be their authentic selves, discusses the challenges of church hurt, and explains how the principles of community building reflect God's own trinitarian nature. This conversation provides valuable insights for anyone seeking to build stronger, more meaningful connections in any area of life.
