Today we are connecting with the author of The Shack, William Paul Young. Although this show is mostly about creativity and making a living doing what you love, one of the deeper issues underlying all the internal work we have to do as ambitious creatives is addressing spiritual pain and how we view God. Paul’s work has really impacted my life and it’s an honor to get to share his message with you.

 

WHO IS WILLIAM PAUL YOUNG? 

Wm Paul Young, author of The Shack, Cross Roads, Eve, The Shack Reflections and Cross Roads Reflections, and Lies We Believe About God, was born a Canadian and raised among a stone-age tribe by his missionary parents in the highlands of what was Netherlands New Guinea (now West Papua).  He suffered great loss as a child and young adult, and now enjoys the “wastefulness of grace” with his growing family in the Pacific Northwest.

• How do you know you’ve experienced the True God?

 

FROM TODAY’s EPISODE:

• Moving past hurt by religion & lies we believe about God
• Dealing with shame and the need to belong

As leaders, we love to give but we often hold back because we don’t know how to do it well or we assume someone else will do it. Rob Brooksher joins us today to share how he joined others in quickly stepping up to help the artistic industry at a time when tours and shows were put on hold.

The Atlanta Artist Relief Fund is a group of artists, entertainment workers, and industry professionals founded in response to the Covid-19 crisis who seek to embody the ideals of the Ghost Light - the constant source of illumination that ensures a stage never truly goes dark. Through boots-on-the-ground efforts such as home-cooked food delivery and community outreach for artists in need, we work to keep the Atlanta arts community illuminated as well. We strive to listen to our peer's concerns, and help support them through these times of crisis.

As leaders, we often create products and services to help others. Then we find ourselves trying to sell these items that have the potential to change people’s lives. But because we don’t enjoy or understand sales, we can find ourselves stuck.

Bob Burg joins us today and reminds us that selling is not about us or our products but rather about those we’re serving, their problems, their values, and their trust.

Bob Burg is a sought-after speaker at company leadership and sales conferences sharing the platform with everyone from today’s business leaders and broadcast personalities to even a former U.S. President.

Bob is the author of a number of books on sales, marketing and influence, with total book sales of well over a million copies. His book, The Go-Giver, coauthored with John David Mann, itself has sold over 950,000 copies and it has been translated into 28 languages.

His and John’s newest parable in the Go-Giver Series is The Go-Giver Influencer.

Bob is an advocate, supporter and defender of the Free Enterprise system, believing that the amount of money one makes is directly proportional to how many people they serve. He is also an unapologetic animal fanatic, and is a past member of the Board of Directors of Furry Friends Adoption, Clinic & Ranch in his town of Jupiter, Florida.

“No one is so far removed from healing that we cannot find it.”  That comes from today’s guest, viral blogger, pastor, hospital chaplain, and someone you need to be following on Instagram, the J.S. Park.

Today we dive in deep to talk about the multiple voices we carry, how we can find our one true voice, and unapologetically use it. We also have an important conversation about validating and listening to the stories of those around us and finding the TRUTH in the midst of the noise.

JS. PARK, (BA Psychology, Univ. South Florida; MDiv, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary) is a hospital chaplain, viral blogger, and teaching pastor. As an interfaith chaplain at a large hospital in Tampa, he provides grief counseling and assists with end-of-life care. 

He also serves as a community care chaplain at Metropolitan Ministries, one of the largest nonprofit charities on the east coast, which serves the homeless in Tampa. He loves to play the drums and guitar, and has a sixth-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. He lives in Tampa, FL with his wife, Juliette, a nurse practitioner.
