In this episode, I sit down with Kai Mishina, an athlete I coach mentally and spiritually, to explore the four values on his personal character compass: desire, forgiveness, unpredictability, and adaptability.We start with desire and how a deeper desire can be activated, which leads into a conversation about good and evil in the world. From there, we talk about forgiveness as one of the most powerful forces for good. The speed at which we forgive often reveals the health of our inner world, and those who forgive quickly tend to move forward more freely.We then explore unpredictability, staying open, curious, and willing to learn even from things we don’t fully agree with. Taking risks and making mistakes helps us grow in understanding. We close with adaptability, reimagining God’s posture toward our shortcomings. Rather than being consumed by them, God is always adapting, looking for ways to help us respond differently the next time.An insightful conversation where character meets optimal performance
