Suicide plagues young adults now more than ever. The rise in mental health issues for individuals in their 20s is skyrocketing. Tune in as my friend Junior shares his powerful story of pain, struggle, and redemption. We dive into what saved Him and what, if anything the Scriptures has to say about this topic. 

Nidhin and I breakdown the struggle to be your true self. As young adults we are growing so much and changing constantly. Sometimes we find ourselves lost or becoming someone we don't want to be. How does scripture and the example of Jesus anchor us to live out our authentic true self?

We so often find ourselves running around and filling our schedules at this age, and life doesn't seem like it is slowing down any time soon. My friend John C and I talk through this issue of rest and having healthy rhythms in our lives.

In this episode we wrap up our three part series on how social media is impacting our lives. Martine Decase returns to the show and shares her thoughts on how social media can impact our spiritual walk.

In part two of the social media series, Noah and I chat about how social media influences how we see those around us. So many of our relationship are being deeply shaped by the habits we are forming with social media.

In the first episode of a three part series on social media, my friend Jack and I discuss the impact social media has on our view of self. So often we are drawn in to our devices that they begin to shape how we see ourselves. The values and beliefs we hold surrounding who we are and where our value comes from are more often than not heavily influenced by the media we are intaking and posting online.

Marla and I continue our conversation on the challenge of forgiveness. In this episode we focus on how hard it is to forgive yourself. What does God have to say about this and how do we get to a place of healing in the areas of our lives we still feel deep shame and hurt? I share a part of my story and how I learned to not only receive but live into a life of forgiveness. 

One of the hardest spaces we face as humans is forgiveness. Tune in to part one of a two part series on forgiveness. In part one we talk about the struggle to forgive others. Marla shares her story about the struggle and lessons learned through deep betrayal and heartbreak in one of her friendships. 

What does it mean to step into healthy manhood? How did Jesus emulate masculinity? Tune in to this conversation on the struggle of understanding a right definition of masculinity in our culture today.
