This week, my good friend Andi Andrew joins us to talk about misinterpreting personal shaking, why we need to grieve what didn't happen, the power of tears in releasing trauma from our bodies, and how to detach false belief systems from your life. Andi is a wellspring of wisdom, let alone a no-nonsense communicator, and so I'm confident our conversation today will help you move the needle in your own life.

This week, Tim Ross joins us to talk about leaving and grieving seasons of life, emotional maturity, how to embrace being misunderstood, and why sexual sin is so insidious–why it takes people down so quickly. Many of you know about Tim and The Basement already, so I hope you'll lean in for the powerful and transparent conversation.

This week, we're sitting down with Paul Daugherty, pastor of Victory Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to talk in raw and vulnerable fashion about his brush with considering suicide. And before I go on, I want to share that if you or anyone you know is considering suicide, please stop this podcast and dial 988 on your phone right now. It's a 24-hour crisis hotline and help is available. Aside from that part of the conversation, Paul and I discuss the strength of a lie to empower our lives and why we need to dump the plastic, sugar-coated platitudes when dealing with loss and pain. We'll also discuss fake prayers and why you can't just pray trauma away. In a culture so consumed by facades, I'm very thankful for Paul's transparency in our conversation and trust you'll receive great value from it.

It's week four of [Formed.], and one of our favorite people is back on the podcast: Jamie Winship. This week, Jamie talks to us about why separation creates suffering, the necessary practice of self-emptying according to Jesus's teaching in Matthew 5, how to develop a right view of God, and a brilliant concept called "closed-handed anxiety." As usual, it's a fascinating conversation, so prepare for some note-taking.
