Summary

To my beloved listener,

I want to encourage your heart in trying to understand what's happening and why.

I know you're doing hard work to figure out what your role is and should be in all of this.

And I commend that so much. <3

Also, as you're going through so much right now, I hope you rest.

I invite you to practice self-care especially right now.

I hope you'll read, write by hand, & meditate on Matthew 7:12-24 & Galatians 5:19-24

(Further reading: Further resources: I recommend this interview you listen to and interview with Brene Brown and Ibram X. Kendi and a message from Bishop TD Jakes.)

By Gods grace... We're going to get through this.

Love,

Belah

0:00.0	Welcome to the Delight Your Marriage podcast. You're joining me, Bella Rose, as I dive deep into the beauty, power, and truths about intimacy.
0:11.7	Learn not only the practicals, but the heart behind what making love is all about. Delight your marriage.
0:20.6	All right. Welcome. Thank you for joining me. So we are talking about how to talk to your
0:29.3	family, your husband or your wife and your kids about race and racism and riots and what's going on and why it's going on. So this is something
0:41.3	that I'm extremely passionate about and it I'm sure will come through in our call, but I also want to
0:48.5	say that I'm not going to say things perfectly. I don't have degrees in this. I do have experience.
0:56.5	I've talked to friends and I've read books that You know, I've, I do have something to add to the conversation. But the more important thing is that
1:05.5	there is a conversation. Nothing is helped if we are silent.
1:13.0	And so my intention on this podcast is not to,
1:18.1	is not to make it seem like I know everything or I'm the best
1:23.1	or that I even know how to handle this at all.
1:26.9	Like I might be wrong on a good amount of what I'm
1:29.1	sharing. So I invite you to listen with hopefully an open heart and a humble mind. That's my
1:37.7	posture in this season as well because I'm white. I don't experience.
1:45.2	I've never even had a passing whim that I could experience what Mr. George Floyd experienced.
1:56.4	Like that is so far outside of my realm of possibilities.
2:06.7	It's beyond. So my invitation to you,
2:13.0	assuming that you're a white person listening, for minorities, maybe you'll get something out of this, or maybe you'll just be mad that I don't know what I'm talking about. And I apologize if that's true.
2:18.4	But for white people, I hope you will come with an open heart and a humble mind
2:24.6	because it's impossible for us to know somebody else's experience.
2:30.9	And the best thing we can do, I think, is listen.
2:34.6	So I'm going to give more insights on what I'm doing with my family,
	...
