In this episode of the Different podcast, Jill Rowe talks with Steve Chalke about why developing inner core strength and refusing to take shortcuts matters so much. They discuss steadiness, balance and resilience and how these come about through hard work and practise exercising the spiritual and emotional muscles needed to thrive. It's tempting to take shortcuts, but stepping out of our comfort zone, we see that strength and learning is all formed through pain and screw ups, joy and success, suffering and challenge. These are all of life for all of us. Our job is to embrace it all and we get to do this roller coaster life with one another. What a gift that is.

Refusing the shortcuts

We’d like to introduce you to a new podcast. It’s called Different. But why different? You know how when you’re wearing sunglasses it puts a tint on everything? Or if you wear glasses you see some things in focus and others out of focus? Well, we all have lenses on the inside of our head too. And they tint, colour and shape everything we see, think and understand.So, on this podcast Steve Chalke and Jill Rowe are going to dive headlong into just that as they discover a new ‘meaning making’ story and embrace a fresh way of thinking about life, the universe and everything in-between.They will talk about getting to a place where we see our lives as part of something bigger than our day-to-day experience - becoming a part of an unfolding story. Finding joy in ordinary moments, facing failure and struggle and discovering liberation and purpose.They’ll also discuss experiencing life as a gift and learning how to live on purpose. They’ll be peering into dark nights of the soul and finding hope. And simply learning how we are here to walk each home. We hope you enjoy these conversations –&nbsp;discovering a new story and embracing new thinking.
