Just Grow With It

Marc Branker is a military veteran who spent twenty years in both the Army and Air Force branches. He later went on to become a Minister with a giant heart for advocacy. Being a true example of someone who fills a need when they see a need, he most recently completed his certification and is diligently working on his newest venture, Blended Family Therapy and Christian counseling. He is also currently getting his master's degree in Christian counseling. He advocates immensely for blended families, couples programming, and women and children. In today's episode, he starts with sharing a pivotal moment in his life that allowed him to step into greater faith and walk more intimately with God. He goes on to share his four-step process for creating intimate relationships romantically, platonically, and most importantly in our walk of faith. He discusses intimacy in its greatest form and how when it is truly broken down all intimacy really means is "into me see". It isn't until we develop and open/share our hearts with the Lord that we can experience the fullness of his grace, love, and mercy. It is in doing so that we are truly able to step out into the abundant and blessed lives he is calling us to live. A true salt of the earth guy who would give anyone the shirt off his back, Marc drops some incredible wisdom you don't want to miss! Check it out today!

A salt of the earth guy with a global journey that has changed his life forever! I had the pleasure of speaking with Brendan McGinn today and hearing more about his journey over the course of the last few years as a Pre-Med student at Oswego State University. He is an incredible advocate of wellness, equal opportunity education, and ending the stigma associated with mental health. He courageously speaks out about his on-going journey with mental health and the single decision that landed him over seven thousand miles away from home. It is this decision that allowed him to encounter the faith and love of God on a whole new continent and has changed his life forever! An episode you won't want to miss!
