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.

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.

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.

Overwhelmed. Overcommitted. Overworked. That’s the false script many people, maybe you, and definitely I, adopt to be successful. Does this sound familiar? Slammed is normal.

This week on the podcast, we're talking about why you need a reset in life. But today's conversation is more than practical; I believe it's going to be a spiritual deposit. From time to time, I like to invite friends, spiritual leaders, who will help us pause to receive perspective and wisdom about the bigger picture of what the Lord is doing in us and in the world. We need it. And that's exactly the conversation we're having today with my friend, senior pastor of Radiant Church, Lee Cummings.

This week, we're talking about anxiety; why we need to redefine it, and how to do exactly that. While mental health is complex, our culture has made anxiety into something it’s not. For the majority of people who face anxiety, the truth is simpler than we think: anxiety is an alarm. It’s a signal—nothing more and nothing less. Anxiety is simply our body’s way of telling us something is wrong. If we stop and listen, we can calm the alarm and move forward into healing and hope.

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.

We're all infected with a spiritual disease. Its name is "shame." Whether we realize it or not, shame affects every aspect of our lives. In fact, shame causes us to hide. Yet God is not absent or separate from our hiding. He's with us in it. So why do we work so hard to believe He's not with us in our shame? Find out this week as we sit down with Dr. Curt Thompson, a renowned psychiatrist, whose insight on shame will help you identify your own pains and struggles and find freedom from the lifelong negative messages that bind you. It's time to embrace healing and wholeness as you discover and defeat shame's insidious agenda.

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.

Three things that lead people to get married are often romantic attraction, sexual chemistry, and relational compatibility. Yet research shows that they do not predict future marital happiness and fulfillment. And in 1967, a study of college-age women found at 76% of women said they would marry someone if the man had every trait they were looking for, even if they didn’t feel “romantic love” toward him. In more recent research, 91% of women said, “absolutely not.” So, what’s the cultural shift? Well, this week, we're talking all things dating, marriage, compatibility, and conflict with Gary Thomas.

It's pretty obvious that words can cut and destroy. Words can heal. And words have the ability to establish a precedent for the affection and focus of your life. Most certainly, however, words spoken contain the power of life and death. This week, Caitlin Crosby, founder of "The Giving Keys," joins us to talk about the inherent power of words and the words that are presently forming her world. But then, in a raw and candid fashion, Caitlin pivots from this theme to talk about her journey through a new life of single parenting and what happens when shame knocks on the door of her heart.

In a recent survey of workers, 82% of the respondents said they are overworked. And this has resulted in high burnout rates. And in the United States alone, 43% of the respondents indicated that staff morale was low because they are overworked. To make matters more complicated, almost half or 49% have left their company because they felt overwhelmed by the amount of work. Not only is overworking detrimental to long-term wellness, it is addictive. Too many people wrap their overall self-worth and identity in their performance. But what if there was another way? What if you could learn to win at work and succeed in life? That's the conversation we're having with New York Times bestselling author and leadership development expert, Michael Hyatt.
