Presence and Curiosity

Have you ever walked into a room and immediately started comparing yourself?Maybe you're scanning for the "right" person to talk to. Maybe you're wondering if you measure up. Or maybe you're hiding behind the fear that if people really knew you, they'd walk away.I've lived all three.In this episode, I share three conversations that repeated themselves throughout my young adult years—and the surprising lesson they taught me about relationships.I've come to believe that our greatest obstacle to connection isn't simply insecurity. It's becoming so preoccupied with ourselves that we miss the people God has placed right in front of us.The good news?You don't have to be the funniest, smartest, most confident, or most interesting person in the room.You can bring two simple gifts into every conversation:Presence.Curiosity.Those two gifts have the power to transform your relationships, deepen your friendships, and help you honor others in a way that reflects the heart of Christ.For more tools to live beyond your same-sex attractions and into your purpose, visit: Own Your Identity | Same-Sex Attraction Help for Christian Men
