What does it truly mean to be healed? Beyond the physical cures we often seek lies something deeper—a return to the wholeness that was our original design.

This episode takes you on a profound journey through the concept of healing hubs as sacred connectors, places where people can restore balance when life feels out of kilter. Whether facing physical ailments, emotional distress, or spiritual disorientation, these spaces offer a chance to reconnect with God without prescribing a specific outcome. As Lisa and Reverend Kris explore, sometimes what we need isn't a definitive cure but a restoration of equilibrium—that sense of coming back to ourselves as we were meant to be.

The conversation dives into the rich Hebrew concept of "shellamute"—complete wholeness—and unpacks the difference between healing and curing. Through the powerful metaphor of a silversmith purifying precious metal until it perfectly reflects their image, we see how God works to remove impurities from our lives so we might better reflect divine goodness. This process isn't always comfortable; life's challenges cause tensions to bubble up, yet these very struggles often create space for deeper healing.

Perhaps most transformative is Richard Rohr's concept of the "three G's": glance, glare, and gaze. How might our lives change if we moved beyond superficial glances or judgmental glares to truly gazing at the world around us with appreciation and wonder? Could such attentiveness help us notice God's presence in unexpected places—a stranger's birthday wishes, a conversation during a dog walk, or the simple scent of spring flowers? Listen and discover how everyday moments of connection might be your pathway back to the wholeness that is your birthright.
