Acknowledging both the good and bad can be a healthier way to tell the story of our lives. One of the good traits that I picked from my childhood home was the strength to endure. I watched the people around me go through difficult challenges and still hold their heads up high. It wasn't until I sat down and thought about it, that I realized how many good skills that I was directly or indirectly taught and still use today.Nov 07, 202219:42#29 - A Christian, not ChristIn this episode I'm discussing one of the fears that may stop people from talking about their faith - the fact that they are imperfect (in other words, human).Oct 16, 202214:16#28 - The Blueprint | Podmas Day 15Wouldn't it be great to have a blueprint to follow for assured success?

They were shaped by a totally different narrative.Sep 28, 202115:12#16 - Quiet StormFor a long time I considered myself to be a quiet storm.
