What does it truly mean to be known? In this opening episode of the *Being Known Podcast*, Curt introduces the foundational idea that we are created for deep connection with God and one another, and that genuine healing happens in safe, loving relationships. Blending neuroscience with Christian faith, he explores how shame keeps us hidden while vulnerability opens the door to transformation. Join us as we begin, again, the journey of becoming more fully known, loved, and alive. This season 1 encore episode is sponsored by Tabor College Master of Education in Neuroscience and Trauma. Joins us in October for the Center for Being Known annual Connections Conference. As a BKP listener, you can receive $50 off any ticket when you enter promo code CBK.BKPL.26 . . . . .
