In the words of today's guest, "Life is about being fully present and alive in the embrace of relentless affection, dealing with the world as it really is, not in a non-existent future trip." Wholeness is when the way of our person matches the truth of our being. It's exactly why future-tripping is so futile. Today, my dear friend, Paul Young joins us. Paul is the author of the iconic book, "The Shack," and his life has inspired me more times than I can count. So today, we're diving deeply into the experience of transformation from the inside out and why our beloved self-improvement tactics keep us from seeing the truth of who we are and from receiving love that compels us out of the self-inflicted prison of the soul we call "home."

Today, we’re taking a thorough look at how to let go of guilt in your life with author, speaker, and coach, Valorie Burton, whose own relationship with guilt has given her both perspective and tools we need.

Because of normalized anxiety in our culture today, many people are making choices from a place of emotional deficit. And while we can take steps to mitigate these surface-level responses, we must get to the root of the issue, to heal a systemic problem, caused by fear. The underlying problem? Fatherlessness and motherless-ness. Fathers and mothers, biological and spiritual, leave an inheritance of intellectual, spiritual, and character/integrity capital to two generations following. But because we don’t understand this void for what it really is, we continue to chase surface level, symptomatic cures. Joining us today is New York Times bestselling author, Lisa Bevere, who’s going to share about the cure for systemic fear and how to experience longevity in your life.

Somehow, the unthinkable happened in your life: job loss, infidelity in your marriage, the loss of a parent far too early in life, the betrayal of a friend. Beyond the shock, grief and the sense of profound loss hits in an unpredictable way. And as we move through grief, not only does life change, but we are changed in the process. And while a fatalistic view of life isn’t helpful or even hopeful, we cannot ignore the fact that in this life, we will experience loss and pain. And that’s what we’re going to explore with marriage and family therapist, Nicole Zasowski. Today’s focus isn’t about how to look on the bright side or how to search for the silver lining in the cloud. It’s how to leverage the unwanted pain in your life in a way that will lead you to emotional freedom and transformation.
