Nate returns as a guest to discuss the importance of vulnerability for expressing authenticity and fostering deeper connections with our loved ones, ourselves, and our Heavenly Father.
Ponder Questions:
Am I willing to be in my “emotional underwear”?
Can I be more vulnerable in my everyday conversations?
Can I choose to put down my armor?
Am I being defensive to protect myself?
Am I asking the Savior, “Is this true?”
Am I choosing instead to be curious?
Am I acknowledging that I am an imperfect being in this conversation, or am I being defensive?
Am I willing to show others who I am?
Am I willing to be vulnerable with myself?
Can I model vulnerability with others and open the door?
