Inner Outer World Podcast

How do we choose to respond to our pain? After being forced into a gap year, Raye shares about the emotional and mental pain that he had to confront (from bullying, to loneliness, to never feeling good enough) and the fruit that can come from an intentional choice in confronting our pain. He challenges those in similar experiences to be mindful about this choice and reflect on what intentional choice they will decide for themselves.

After being medically disqualified from the United States Military Academy at West Point on Reception Day (R-Day), Raye reflects on the turmoil and pain that ensued while recognizing how this turning point served as an impetus for change. He begins to raise the question of how we, as young adults, respond to pain and how those responses then affect our everyday lives.
