Twisted Thinking

Unscripted! In this episode, I read from a list of thoughts that are (meant to be) uplifting and positive, then give my opinion on them - and I do all of it without a script. Spoiler: Mistakes were made (but I might have edited them out).

Sometimes Things Suck

We all know it, but everyone wants to pretend that even if things suck, we should never admit it. Never ‘give in’ to the negative. But why? Because science says so? It doesn’t. Because Jesus says so? He doesn’t either. Let’s talk about it today.
