A professor in college made us repeat the phrase, "I know nothing, teach me something." Whether it's the Bible and spiritual truth, or a hard skill or practical knowledge, let's approach our lives with a growth mindset. Having humility, loving the process, and varying our input sources are a few of the practical tips that we talk about on today's show.

Many of us try to keep in shape mentally and physically, but sometimes we fall into the trap of glorifying ourselves with our body or mind. Today's guest, Garrett Greene, founded Clean 5110, a brand that promotes living a clean lifestyle and giving God the glory while we steward our bodies, hearts, minds, and souls.

In today's discussion, we touch on several practical tips for living physically healthy, but we also discuss the scriptural foundation behind being truly clean.

What do we do when confronted with a life-altering reality? We want God's hand on our lives, but what if the touch of God hurts? Can I lead my family through the darkest valley we've ever known?

His heart for those in a dark place is obvious as we discuss his book, "When The Touch of God Hurts", but his sense of humor and constant trust in God are an example to each of us as we lead our family.
