In this episode, Ken Shuman speaks with Josh Kuipers, a Faithwalking graduate from Sioux Center, IA who is Director of Worship at Northwestern College. Josh credits Faithwalking with helping him understand himself more and more deeply so that he can live in integrity with who he is and who he wants to be. He shared that he has been in a really difficult season in recent years, with both the political landscape and the conflict that has stemmed from that at work that was burning him out and years of grieving the loss of one and then both of his parents. "Faithwalking has really been an anchor that has helped me stay in integrity to who I am even in this tumultuous, super hard time...." He celebrates that he is much less anxious and much more at peace, to the point that others have noticed and told him he seems like a different person! He also shares that the Faithwalking tool of establishing guiding principles in particular has changed the way he approaches decision making and how he relates with others. He is able to approach sensitive situations and conversations with intentionality and with much less reactivity, as he seeks to be calm and curious instead of making up unhelpful stories in his head about what is going on .
