  • 41 | Three Ways To Be Resilient in Uncertain Times

    In this week’s episode, Kurt Kersey shares a few things that he’s been learning while on his journey around what habits help build resilience, scripture that speaks life when needed most and things to avoid when having those tough days.

    Your challenge is to try some of these things the next time you’re feeling down or lost. Don’t let the world tell you that’s not okay. It’s totally normal to feel that - but it’s not okay to stay there.

  • 40 | New Branding; Taking Collective Risks with Zac Eklund

    INSPIRE. EQUIP. COMMISSION. Where did it all come from?

    Boldness doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re the loudest guy in the room. Really, the boldest thing to do is to be willing to admit the things you don’t know and just commit to chasing after God’s plan for you.

    Leader of all things design and creative for the Grown Man Project, Zac Eklund, is a living example of this. He joins Kurt this week to talk about what inspired the new branding and the meaning behind it.

  • 33 | #PodWithAhmaud | Darris Sneed (BONUS)

    There are a lot of tough things happening in our world, but we have to stand together if we want to see change.

    Not least of these is the tragic killing of Ahmaud Arbery, and now #GeorgeFloyd and so many others like them. None of us can pretend to know what these events do to the lives they directly impact, but what about what they do to our own communities?

    There is too much that is left unsaid when things like this happen. That’s why Kurt and Darris jumped on a call to say some tough, awkward, but important things out loud to each other. | www.grownmanproject.com | www.darrissneed.com
