Today, Jim welcomes Cindi J. Martin, a licensed psychotherapist with over 40 years of experience in counseling and ministry. As Founder and Director of Wellspring Counseling Ministries, Cindi integrates biblical faith with mental health support to help individuals and couples heal from trauma, addiction, and relational challenges. Cindi recently released a truly excellent book called Choosing Intimacy: Exploring Christ’s Model for Mutuality and Deeply Connected Relationships, the subject of today’s episode. Contrary to what you might think about the term “intimacy”, it is a complex and layered action (yes, action) - and, like all actions, requires a choice. This is a fascinating discussion full of revelation and encouragement for any listener.
