All of us are wrestling with something right now. Simply being tenacious and sticking things out isn't always the best strategy in life. There are times when you need to quit your job, end a relationship, or end a project you've given yourself to. In this episode with Rich Tafel as we wrestle with the topic: "Knowing When to Give Up".

In this episode with Rich Tafel we are looking at the importance of humility. What it is and isn’t and why it plays such a crucial role when we seek to build relationships.

As we seek to build community and engage in the public square, we must become more authentic.

Authenticity is the missing element in much of life. It also serves as a superpower in creating community because when you are authentic good people will forgive your mistakes and missteps.

Many have given up on there being anyone authentic out there, leaving them nihilistic and even depressed.

In this episode with Rich Tafel we are exploring authenticity. What does it mean from a spiritual perspective? How can we develop it in ourselves and our organizations?

The number one question we get from young leaders seeking to create community and bridge the divide is this: “How do I engage in the civic arena when things are so toxic?”

We need to prepare ourselves as people of faith having been doing for generations . Over the next six episodes Rev. Rich Tafel is going to share six strategies for to become spiritually resilient, starting with the topic of self-awareness.
