265: Dave Hollis on Being Built through Adversity, Dating After Divorce, and Dumping Falsehood
This week we're talking about the exhaustion of explaining yourself and how to risk with courage. Today, Dave Hollis will unpack why "When we're feeling frustrated and unfulfilled, the source of our discontent can often be traced back to the gap that exists between who we are at our core and how we feel like we have to show up to get affirmation from outside sources." Also today, Dave will teach us how to handle criticism without going into self-protection or self-promotion mode.

260: Self-Defeating Behavior, Living a Lie, and the Path to Inner Peace (feat. John Mark Comer)
This week, we're talking about self-defeating behavior, living a lie, and the true path to inner peace. Have you wondered lately why your mind is under so much duress and why you keep returning to self-protecting, self-promoting reflexes in your day-to-day interaction with others? Well, according to today's guest, one of my favorite people, John Mark Comer, "The emotional/relational/familial/societal/political meltdown we've been living in for years now is daily proof of the fact that our mental maps are off, that we're drifting further and further into dangerous territory." What's the linchpin that's inhibiting our ability to course-correct? That's what we'll explore with John Mark today.

259: Emotional Incarceration and How Men Win the War Within (feat. Jason Wilson)
Our guest today, Jason Wilson, is a prolific coach to many men, young and old, across the nation. He says, "Strength depends on the physical ability of the body, but power is based on the spiritual rule over the body." For decades, Jason Wilson was losing the war within—the internal battle that many men wage daily but were never taught how to win. As a result, he could not combat his toxic thoughts and emotions. Instead, he was conquered by them and communicated without composure—hurting those he loved and himself. This went on until he renewed his mind by releasing years of past trauma. His life and relationships were transformed when he learned how to master his emotions and express them with self-control. In the process, Jason became a better husband, father, and leader. And today, you'll hear from Jason and learn how to do the same. If you enjoy this episode with Jason, I'm sure you'll also enjoy: 255: Triggered and Insecure? It's the Thing Beneath the Thing. (feat.

258: Erwin McManus on Experiencing and Expressing Genius
Do you remember that at a young age, we had to be taught to color inside the lines? We had to be taught to think inside the box, too. But our natural instinct was to think outside the box. To express an innate genius through our lives. But here's the catch: genius is not transferrable. You could spend your life with Picasso and never become a great painter." But with Jesus, his genius is dramatically the reverse. His genius, it would seem, is contagious. Why? Find out this week with our guest, Erwin McManus.
