In this conversation, Brandon is joined in-studio by Jen Parks and Lindsy Waters, and they bring back Dr. Robin Braun to talk about why believers get stuck, why online “metabrawls” keep brawling, and what actually changes when God matures us beyond rule-keeping into relationship.\nRobin breaks down a stages-of-faith framework (drawing from James Fowler and a Christian translation of it) and connects it to what she sees in inner healing work: people who say they trust God, but carry subconscious beliefs that God is angry, punitive, or performance-based. The crew digs into deconstruction, limiting beliefs, church hurt, and why many walk away when their faith was built more on systems than on a living relationship.\nIt gets personal too. Robin shares parts of her own story, the cost of hard seasons, and how “nothing is wasted” becomes real on the other side. The thread running through the whole episode is simple but not shallow: when love becomes the aim, the room changes.\n\nhttps://drrobinbraun.com\nhttps://integratedlifestrategies.com\nclick for link to book-Living Like a Son Book -https://amzn.to/4pZMLyZ\nclick for link to book - Thrive -https://amzn.to/4aGDYNN\nMissions Robin mentioned- https://www.thriveholistichealingministries.com/get-involved\nTimestamps:\n00:00:51 Topic stages of maturity and introduce Dr. Robin Braun\n00:03:14 Brandon frames the “maturity crisis” as more than doctrine\n00:05:37 Robin connects stages of faith to deprogramming beliefs and father wounds\n00:07:56 Robin’s background and early foundation God as a loving Father\n00:10:13 Early supernatural encounters and pursuing theology from intimacy\n00:12:35 Realizing theological ambiguity and why it forces relationship\n00:14:56 Why some deconstruct and don’t come back relationship vs rule system\n00:17:14 Jen asks for a clear framework of the stages\n00:19:25 Stages two and three...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/SEi08kDnmS3ucXi-RfuKquACTpfh-Kjws-EHkJR3Eps/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mYjhk/MGY5YjJhYTVlZGM1/ZDZhOWQ0MzNiMjIx/NWE4Yi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
