The Intimacy We All Crave

Send us Fan MailWhat if the deepest ache in the human heart, the craving to be seen, heard, and truly known, can only be satisfied by God? Jim and Meghan sit down with Daniel, who now leads marriage and family ministry with Family Honor, to explore why every human heart longs to be seen, heard, and known, and how that longing ultimately points back to God. Drawing on nearly two decades in ministry and his own conversion story at Georgia Tech, Daniel unpacks the counterfeits our culture offers in place of real intimacy and why lasting love starts with the love of God. He also opens up about parenting six teenagers, walking through a son's wandering faith, and the daily battle every family faces in choosing what leans toward the Lord.What’s in this episode:Why intimacy is the deepest longing behind our addictions and strugglesDaniel's conversion moment sparked by a crude joke at Georgia TechFamily Honor's in-person workshops for parents and childrenPrograms built for different ages, from puberty through datingThe foundation of virtue and why God's rules protect, not restrictNavigating a teenage son's struggle with faith and confirmationWhy the battle for our souls plays out in daily small decisionsOne resource every Catholic family should know: The Catechism of the Catholic ChurchBook he is currently reading: Lay Siege to Heaven by Louis De WohlAdvice to his younger self: Start a prayer life and keep adding to itFinal wisdom for listeners: Remember the constant, eternal battle for your soul in every choiceResources Mentioned:Family Honor Inc – Workshops helping parents talk to kids about God, love, life, and sexualityLay Siege to Heaven by Louis De Wohl – A novel on the life of St. Catherine of Siena Looking for meaningful ways to deepen your family’s connection with God outside of Sunday Mass?
