What do you do when you get to the end of yourself and you realize your deeper personal and emotional vices are hurting you, your marriage, and your closest relationships?

Take a peek with us inside of the hopeful narratives of many heroes of the faith who also struggled with the very same things as we do! Show notes: Tyler is currently writing 40-day devotionals for EVERY Enneagram type. He’s written books for Type 3, 4, 6, and 9. Type 1 is coming out this June 2022.
