In this Season 3 kickoff, Chad sits down with counselor and workshop leader Sam Eldredge (and yes—John Eldredge’s son) for a real conversation about wounds, isolation, and healing.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, triggered, numb, or like you’re carrying more than you can name—this episode is for you. Sam breaks down how wounds form, how they show up in everyday life (people-pleasing, perfectionism, coping habits), and why a “whole person” approach matters: body, mind, and spirit.

What you’ll learn

• Why isolation is a serious threat to our health and joy
• How wounds shape who we become “just to survive”
• The difference between “big T” trauma and everyday wounds
• Why healing isn’t just behavior modification
• A simple “first step” exercise if you feel stuck

Key moments / highlights (bullets)

• Sam’s story: high school pain, depression, and the long road to integration
• Why “pray it away” is often incomplete (and what to do instead)
• The lie of “I should be fine” and the cost of staying shut down
