Ep. 084 – Are You Fighting Evil… or Absorbing It? w/ Dr. Michelle Pearce
In a rage-fueled and disillusioning time, it’s easy to “drink the Kool-Aid” of anger and fear—even when the issue itself is real and unjust. But what if the very spirit we oppose begins to live inside us?
Dr. Barbara Jean Lowe Sauvé sits down with Dr. Michelle Pearce (PhD, Yale University; postdoctoral fellowship at Duke University; clinical psychologist at the University of Maryland) to explore radical love as both a spiritual discipline and a psychological pathway. Drawing on Howard Thurman and Jesus and the Disinherited, they examine how bitterness and resentment become “territory” in the heart, how fear, deception, and hate shape us from the inside out, and how resentment impacts the body, mind, and spirit.
This episode offers practical ways to practice radical love with boundaries, without denial or spiritual bypassing, and invites you into love marked by power, wisdom, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
