The Dynamics of Dysfunctional Families and their Impact on Individuals

In today’s podcast, we talk to Ike Miller, Senior Pastor of Bright City Church in Durham, North Carolina, a church he planted in 2018 along with his wife, Sharon Hodde Miller.

In this episode, Ike shares insights from his latest book, Good Baggage: How Your Difficult Childhood Prepared You For Healthy Relationships. After confronting the impact of his own childhood, including a family history of substance use disorders, Ike has developed a passion for helping others who grew up in difficult circumstances to better understand how those environments continue to impact them and their relationships now. Learn how you can leverage your baggage for good with his practical advice and exercises that can lead to healthier relationships.
