Weave & Cleave

Weave & Cleave is a patient interview show about the people and practices gathered around trauma-informed care. Its conversations often begin with introduction and memory, then gradually move toward the formative experiences behind a guest’s work. That slow shape matters. A discussion with Dr. Curtis Solomon turns from biblical counseling and empirical research toward the need to measure care for people affected by trauma. Kelly Lubeck speaks about holding painful stories, learning her own limits, and supporting leaders, givers, changemakers, and mothers through transition. Ruth Hoffman brings the frame of ministry with women who have experienced human trafficking, abuse, addiction, homelessness, and incarceration. Clay Jones connects family struggle, child welfare, recovery, and a memoir about his own family. Keiko Radcliffe speaks from grief after her daughter Sky’s passing and from the creation of Sky’s the Limit Foundation. Andy Manero links mission, shalom, family love, and the process of wholing. Bhikku Vasu Bandhu brings Buddhist monastic language into the same field of suffering, compassion, and repair. The show’s faith commitments are clear, especially its Christian vocabulary of prayer, scripture, Christ, and the body of Christ. Still, its guest list reaches across public health, theology, somatic coaching, shamanic healing, and Buddhist practice. The tone is warm and grave. It favors testimony over debate. It gives guests room to explain what happened, what changed, and how their work now meets other people’s pain. Some episodes include repeated passages and a loose conversational structure, but that looseness also creates a sense of real pastoral presence. The strongest moments come when personal history becomes shared wisdom without being flattened into a slogan. Weave & Cleave suits listeners drawn to trauma recovery, spiritual formation, community repair, and the long labor of staying present to suffering.
