Episode 45 - Grant Skeldon
Our culture has a lot to say about millennials. It calls them lazy, entitled, noncomittal, and so on. In response, Grant Skeldon founded the Initiative Network to train millennials to replace culture's narrative with one of a generation impacting their communities, their cities, and the world for Christ. His new book The Passion Generation seeks to bridge that gap even further.
Grant joins Davey to talk about how millennials, parents of millennials, and anyone else can be a part of seeing a generation become agents of change and healing in the world.

Episode 44 - Andrew Bauman
Sometimes counseling can take on a bad rap. We often associate it with a crisis or a last resort. But in his work as a mental health counselor, Andrew has realized that we all need help. To see our lives and situations change, we need to first become whole, and that wholeness only comes through God and deep inner work.
Andrew sits down with Davey to talk about his new book, Stumbling Toward Wholeness, Andrew’s own journey towards wholeness and transformation, and what it looks like to face our brokenness honestly and begin to heal.

Chris sits down with Davey to give an overview of what the enneagram is, how it can be used in healing, and much more.
