This episode is about matters of the heart. Dr. Carol talks
with Tom Bennardo, a seasoned ministry leader, author, and
spiritual director, about the power and challenge of courageous
authenticity. We explore the barriers that keep us from true
connection—what he calls "Level 3 intimacy," where we move beyond
surface interactions into deeper, truly vulnerable relationships.
Whether it's fear, shame, or past wounds, we unpack what holds us
back and why authenticity is both risky and essential for a
meaningful life.
Together, we discuss practical ways to cultivate deeper
intimacy—with God, within ourselves, and in a few personal
relationships. This conversation is an invitation to take off the
masks and move into the kind of love and belonging our hearts were
made for. If you desire deeper relationships and longer-lasting
spiritual transformation but struggle with how to get there, this
episode is for you.
