Brian is the author of the new book Centering Prayer: Sitting Quietly in God’s Presence Can Change Your Life. He’s an award-winning professor of biblical studies and a transformational coach for pastors and spiritually-minded professionals and also hosts the Deep Dive Spirituality Conversations podcast. In this episode, Brian and I discuss personality, teamwork, relationships, leadership, and much more.  There are two parts to this interview – the first is the standard Strong Stoic guest conversation followed by a 20-minute interview talking about Brian’s career and his road to success. The second interview will be exclusively released on my Patreon and Substack, so consider joining there if you’re interested.
