About this Episode
Episode 52 - The Cycle of Pursuit
I didn’t mean to make a series… but God had other plans. This is part three of an unexpected journey that started on a beach in San Diego and led straight into the heart of striving, identity, and grace.
In this episode, I open up about a powerful realization I’ve been working through in therapy—the fantasy of the “perfect girl.” From sitcoms like Love, American Style, Happy Days, The Wonder Years, and Family Ties, to my own childhood crushes on Marcia Brady and Mallory Keaton, I share how media shaped my ideas about love, marriage, and myself. We explore how these expectations became a cycle of pursuit:
Chasing the ideal.
Getting let down.
Chasing harder.
Missing what’s right in front of us. With stories, scripture, and three fictional-but-relatable scenarios, this episode invites you to surrender the fantasy and embrace real grace. The kind that doesn’t wait for perfection—just presence. This is Episode 3 in the mini-series:
