65. Relational Needs: The Pain and Potential of Relational Needs, Brains and Attachment, and the Gift of Presence

John Bower, the lead pastor at Normandy Church in Dallas, TX joins Stephen for the first of a four-part series on relational needs. This week, they discuss the pain and potential within relational needs, how shame can hinder us in meeting our relational needs, the role of attachment within relationship, why it's important for us to meet our relational needs outside of the mentor/mentee relationship, and how social media can shape our identity.
