Before you could tell your story, someone was telling it to you.

We become storytellers long before we have the words to understand what is happening. We learn who we are through the stories spoken around us—and through the way those stories are att... more

We are all speaking.

Not just with our words, but with our bodies, our stories, our assumptions, and our presence. We make sense of what we experience and then put words around it. But none of us speaks entirely on our own.

Before you ever say a word, you're already communicating.

Your body occupies space. Your face, posture, voice, movement, and presence are communicating something to the people around you. And long before we have words for ourselves, someone else is ... more

  • Obstacles of Daily Life

    This podcast has become a daily listen for me as I catch up with past episodes. It's the only one that helps me with the human "problem" of navigating relationship. It helps me see how it can be a part of my healing rather than a problem. I haven't found another podcast that really deals with daily normal relating to each other which is so essential! Thank you for this podcast!!

  • Encore!

    I became familiar with Curt’s work in July of 2024. I became obsessed with this pod. I miss new episodes! I virtually attended the Fall Event that year, joined a Confessional Community in January of 2025, attended the gathering in DC last year…being known in a CC has transformed my life and my healing. I thank God for Curt & Pepper!

  • Challenge to think

    I love the challenge on how I think but I I also really love hearing and gaining some perspective on the neuroscience behind how we develop in our thinking. It is a repeated series of light bulb moments!

Q: Can you talk a little bit about how your own pain gives you eyes to see the particular beauty of the work of compassion?
