Process - Part 1

🎧 PART 1 — PROCESS | The Wrong Words PodcastProcess — is it a plan, a promise, a procedure, or the excuse we hide behind? Oliver and Luon kick off a multi-part dive into this deceptively simple word. In Part 1 they wrestle with whether a process only exists when people agree to an end, how systems vs. memory shape our steps, and when “I’m in process” is progress — or a dodge.🧠 In this episode we explore:Why agreement (not just action) often starts any true processProcess as systems/procedures vs. process as ongoing growth or faith-driven stepsHow context, memory and expectations make the same words land very differentlyReal-world examples: relationship timelines, healing as a “process,” and the juggling of competing systems📚 We unpack:Dictionary definitions (series of actions directed to an end) vs. lived usage (ongoing, indefinite “I’m working on it”)When processes turn into crutches — and how missing milestones/misaligned agreements stall outcomesThe role of faith, benchmarks, and daily decisions in turning a hoped-for future into a real one💥 Key moments include:The agreement → process → end framework (and why the “end” matters)The “juggling multiple systems” confession — trying to run two processes at once and getting nowhereThe chicken-restaurant analogy: standards vs. flavor tweaks — what’s process, what’s preference?🛠️ You’ll walk away with:A sharper way to test whether something you call a “process” actually has the actions and agreement to get you to an endLanguage to realign expectations in relationships, healing, work systems, and goalsA prompt to check whether your process is moving you forward — or just keeping you comfortably busy🎧 This episode is brought to you by Community Solutions.
