Summary

What if your biggest insecurity isn't actually bigger than belonging to Jesus? In this raw and honest episode, Alex and Loke dive deep into Song of Solomon 2:14-17 to uncover what insecurity really is and how to break free from it. From hiding in our "secure places" to learning to catch the little foxes that spoil our relationships, this episode will challenge how you think about your worth and identity.

Key Timestamps:

* 00:00 - Intro: Why we're uncomfortable talking about God's deep love for us

* 05:24 - Reading Song of Solomon 2:14-17

* 06:33 - What is insecurity? (Spoiler: it's about feeling unseen)

* 12:10 - Alex and Loke get vulnerable about their biggest insecurities

* 16:41 - Why we stay insecure: The little foxes that spoil relationships

* 22:33 - Plot twist: Catching foxes should actually be fun

* 24:54 - The real solution to insecurity (hint: it's not self-improvement)

* The "little foxes" are small things that destroy our relationships with God and others

* True security comes from knowing you belong to Christ, not from fixing yourself
