Joining us today is a 26-year-old Gen-Z writer named Griffin Gooch. We met last year, and after a long conversation, his curious bent towards philosophy, discipleship, and our current cultural moment, fused with his intellectual sharpness and posture of humility, signaled to me an opportunity to share him with you all. So today, Griffin and I sit down to talk about his generation, specifically why Gen-Z wants truth and why they are burned out by conflicting narratives from the myriad of echo chambers in our society. Also, Griffin sheds light on fighting cynicism and why we need to train ourselves in discomfort. Episode Links: Show Notes Buy my NEW BOOK "Healing What You Can't Erase" here!

Thanks for joining me for episode 384 where we are celebrating launch week of my brand new book, Healing What You Can't Erase. This new series we're in will be unique. It's not as much an interview as it is a side-by-side conversation between me and some key people who have invested in my life. Today, we're diving into the content from chapter 6 of my book, which is called "The Art of Surrender." Joining us is a man I talk about early on in the chapter. His name is Dave. He has counseled, mentored, and led me for almost 11 years, and together, we're going to talk about the art of surrender and why surrender releases power in our lives.

Today, I am really thankful to have my friend Terry Crist with us. We're talking about interrupting cancel culture, why we underestimate the driver of fear, radical individualism, and what it means to weaponize boundaries. As a pastor committed to building deep relationships with people whose life experiences are different than his own, Terry Crist knows the beauty and challenge of connecting with people across a multitude of dividing lines.

Today, I am thrilled to introduce you to an incredible thinker, theologian, and teacher. Dr. Joel Muddamalle, Director of Theology and Research at Proverbs 31 Ministries joins us today to talk about the inescapable aspects of life we are all marked by. We have less control than we want, more anxiety than we're comfortable with and just enough insecurity to continually remind us of our shortcomings. To experience these things is to be human. We aren't superheroes and invincibility isn't an option. But humility is. Episode Links: Show Notes Buy my NEW BOOK "Healing What You Can't Erase" here!

Today, you better buckle your seatbelt. We're taking a deep dive into all-things relationships, my guests, Tim and Kathy Bush have a story to tell. Starting with, you know, why they had sex on their first date and what ensued in the early days of their relationship. But more specifically, their wisdom, after 42 years of marriage and enduring infidelity, drugs, and a myriad of other challenges, is a great gift to all of us today. We're going to hear their backstory, but also learn about the shadow side of attraction and chemistry, and why emotional affairs are even more devastating than a one-night stand.
