We DigressSeason 2 Episode 3 Community pt 2: Barriers to connecting with communityIn this episode of We Digress, we continue our conversation about the role of community in crisis, particularly addiction recovery.
Two major barriers to relationships within our community are independence and isolation.
Independence
In American culture, we value our independence. The United States was basically founded on "I have a better idea, why don't I just leave and do what I want?"
Well, sort of.
Pilgrims and pioneers brought their community with them. They te...

We DigressSeason 2 Episode 2 Community: A conversation about safety nets and communityIn this episode of We Digress, Dave and Deb talk about community and briefly wax nostalgic over small-town life in autumn.
Ah, the joys of small-town living…
On the one hand, everyone knows everyone else. On the other hand, everyone knows everyone else. Or, as Dave says, we get “all up in each other’s business.”
Is there value in built-in accountability from living around people who know you? What happens when you open up your business to everybody?

In this episode, Dave and Deb dig into compassion and digress to the Great British Baking Show and Survivor -- the longest running American reality TV show, hosted by "America's Camp Director" Jeff Probst.
Sometimes, we unwittingly view compassion as a means to an end. Whether that end is reward or response. But is compassion merely currency to get me what I want?
God addressed compassion over and over in the Old...

We DigressThe one about generalizations: helpful, harmful, and humanIn this episode, recorded mid-April, we're talking about generalizations. How labeling people, passages and problems can be both helpful and harmful. We're talking about generations, seasons of life, and of course, addiction and recovery.

We DigressThe one about the birthdaysIn this episode of We Digress, Dave and Deb banter about a big birthday, aging, and pop culture. Not a whole lot of seriousness, but a lot of fun. Some fun articles are referenced in this episode, including a fantastic list compiled by Emma Nichols for the Huffington Post, this AARP ad campaign, and this Pew Research study (which is actually a decade old...hmmmmm...) We'll rate this one M for Mature, but only because -- as our college Shakespeare prof so famously said about King Lear -- You'll understand it better if you're older. (P.S. Still haven't read L...

2019-04-0320 minWe DigressRenovations, House EditionDave and Deb continue their conversation about renovations.
HGTV began broadcasting the year our oldest child was born, and I (Deb) confess, I've been a sucker for it ever since. Chances are, though, you are too. We talk a bit about our favorite shows, our own recent renovation experiences, and "flip culture" and how even fixing up houses has become an insta-fix. What happened to process? Is there a place for and value in process anymore? Listen in.

In this episode, Dave digresses about all the cars he's loved before...the Chevy Luv, the Hondas, the Plymouth...and we bring it back around to relationships. There are problems, issues people have that we won't touch. We feel like we don't have the time, the energy... But have we ever considered we might just lack the vision for their potential?
2019-03-1320 minWe DigressBeautiful Boy and real-life recovery In this episode, Dave and Deb talk about some of their favorite movie portrayals of addiction and recovery and how even the best stories can't show reality. Change takes time. And when someone we love is in the process of change, our response matters. Our patience is a reflection of God's love.

We made a promise when we got married. And we promised a kid we'd get him a dog...which we finally did -- years after our first promise.
And then there are the promises we make when we've lost someone's trust...
What's the value of a promise? And what good does it do to extract promises from someone who is unable to make good on that promise? Maybe there's a better w...
