In this episode I interviewed John Griggs III, a pastor, author, and life coach. We discussed John's mental state, his upbringing as the youngest of ten siblings, and the pressures that come with family expectations. John shared his journey of writing his book, 'Growth Through Gospel,' and the importance of creating safe spaces for men to communicate openly about their struggles. The conversation emphasizes the significance of vulnerability, the definition of success, and the need for community support in mental health.
