In this episode, Caroline Spencer is joined by Larissa, a psychologist, mother of 4 teenagers and wife of a church minister.
How do we even define needs? What are perceived needs versus actual needs? Are we even the best person to meet those needs? Should we be the person to meet those needs? And how do we even know if we’ve met any needs?
Drawing on real workplace examples, Biblical wisdom, and personal reflection, this conversation shows that we can get clearer on those questions by getting clearer on what is going on for us and how we can be responsible for ourselves.

- Listening to the episode, what resonated with you?
- Can you think of a recent situation where meeting the needs of others was more of an automatic response for you rather than a thoughtful one?
- What is your version of “I need to be needed”? In other words, why would you hesitate to not meet a need, meet a need in a different way etc. Where do you think that comes from?
- How does knowing that God will meet our needs and the needs of others in his perfect way make a practical difference?
