Win Today: Your Roadmap to Wholeness

This week, we're celebrating episode 400 of the podcast. I'm thrilled you're here, and today, NYU Professor, TED Speaker Dr. Tessa West joins us to discuss the hidden symptoms of burnout and how to know when it's time to make a major change in life. I talk to more people whose lives are right here. They're burned out and wondering if it's time to make a change. Add to that, we're going to take a look at the myth of work-life balance. We're also going to talk about how to hurdle social awkwardness and why the modern dating scene is a dumpster fire. Episode Links Show Notes Buy my NEW BOOK "Healing What You Can't Erase" here!

This week, I want to spend some time teaching from my book Healing What You Can't Erase. Last week, I taught you how to fight lies and strengthen yourself in the Lord whenever you face adversity. And two weeks ago, I taught you how to build resilience. But this week, I want to hone in on the central reason why we lose our inner drive and our courage to keep going when the fires of trial are blazing. And that reason is what Scripture describes as "the broken, crushed spirit." Episode Links Show Notes Buy my NEW BOOK "Healing What You Can't Erase" here! Invite me to speak at your church or event.

Too many of us are apathetic, busy, languishing, overwhelmed, distracted, and fearful. We're afraid of disappointing people. We struggle with people-pleasing. We work in a frenetic, unfocused manner. And so today, I want to talk about what I believe is a counter-tactic: living a focused, consecrated life. This week, I sit down with one of my key leaders, Dave, whom you met in chapter 6 of my book and also here on the podcast in late March. This is an important conversation for the day and hour we live. If you're burnt out, distracted, and fearful, we want to give you a roadmap back to focus and back to life.

Bethel Music's Josh Baldwin joins us to talk about leaving and grieving seasons of life and reshaping our expectations for real peace. This is so important because peace isn't the absence of conflict. Josh and I will unpack this idea with you today. We're also going to talk about how anxiety affects relationships, and how it affected Josh and his wife's marriage, as well as the supreme value of worship in shaping our emotional health.

Lee Cummings is back and this week, we're talking about why self-deception is the worst kind of deception, why fear is a vacuum to suffocate our potential, and why facts and truth aren't the same thing. You see, the greatest challenge you and I face, according to Lee, is staying awake in this present cultural moment of chaos. And so if the enemy can't lull you into spiritual apathy, deception is often his weapon of choice against you. And if he can deceive you, he can keep you from living out your purpose—God's purpose for your life. Episode Links Show Notes Buy my NEW BOOK "Healing What You Can't Erase" here!

This week, Willie Robertson joins us, and we're going to unpack the backstory of Duck Dynasty and how he learned how to flourish in every decade of life, especially in the face of adversity. Many of you might be exhausted in life right now, and you might think that you have nothing left in the tank, especially if you've experienced a measure of failure. Willie is going to shed light on that specifically and offer some really helpful advice. We're also going to discuss why we need to develop agility in a constantly changing world (and how to do it).

This week, writing coach and author Ally Fallon is back to talk about the transformative, scientific, healing power of writing, specifically, writing about your life experiences. Here's why: writing aids in organizing thoughts and emotions, which can help manage the distress from traumatic events. In many ways, this exercise is based upon the work of Dr. James Pennebaker, and requires nothing more than a pen, and paper, and between 15-30 minutes each day. Its efficacy is backed by over 200 peer-reviewed studies. And if you're like me, eager to move forward and experience transformation in life, it is a powerful tool to employ. We're also going to talk about the pain of resistance and how writing aided her healing of an autoimmune disease. Episode Links: Show Notes Buy my NEW BOOK "Healing What You Can't Erase" here!

Dr. Alison Cook is back on the podcast this week and let me tell you right now, she brought it. We're talking about the lifetime journey of healing, what stops guilt from turning into shame, why surrender positions us for wisdom, and how to emotionally attune to the people in our lives. One of my favorite parts of the conversation is when Alison took us down the road of talking about whole-body compassion. This is part and parcel of transformation, so I'm confident this conversation will add tremendous value to your life. Episode Links: Show Notes Buy my NEW BOOK "Healing What You Can't Erase" here!

All of us have experienced varying degrees of loss, betrayal, and heartbreak throughout life. And as such, I feel it necessary to double down on that topic. So today, Steve Carter joins us to discuss why forgiveness is a solo sport, the horrible positive spins we too often slap on tragedy, how we waste waiting seasons in life, and how to better-understand the trauma involved in betrayal.

Joining us today is law professor and author John Inazu. We will unpack the deeper reasons why people don't trust mainstream media, government, and sadly, even many pastors. We're also going to discuss a common cultural lean toward anti-intellectualism, and the influence of AI and deep fakes upon our psyches which directly affect our mental and emotional health. And in an election year, we're going to take time to learn communication strategies to disagree with others more effectively...and respectively. All of these topics have an influence on our mental and emotional health, and that's why I brought John to the show. Episode Links: Show Notes Buy my NEW BOOK "Healing What You Can't Erase" here!

Joining us today is John Burke, author of "Imagine Heaven." We're going to discuss near-death experiences, including one profound story of a Hindu man who met the Lord. We will also unpack the consistent order of common events in near-death experiences, the impact of free will on eternal destination, and a skeptic's take on NDEs. This is such a fascinating, inspiring conversation, and I trust you'll walk away from it intrigued and encouraged. Episode Links: Show Notes Buy my NEW BOOK "Healing What You Can't Erase" here!

Joining us today is a 26-year-old Gen-Z writer named Griffin Gooch. We met last year, and after a long conversation, his curious bent towards philosophy, discipleship, and our current cultural moment, fused with his intellectual sharpness and posture of humility, signaled to me an opportunity to share him with you all. So today, Griffin and I sit down to talk about his generation, specifically why Gen-Z wants truth and why they are burned out by conflicting narratives from the myriad of echo chambers in our society. Also, Griffin sheds light on fighting cynicism and why we need to train ourselves in discomfort. Episode Links: Show Notes Buy my NEW BOOK "Healing What You Can't Erase" here!

Today, I am thrilled to introduce you to an incredible thinker, theologian, and teacher. Dr. Joel Muddamalle, Director of Theology and Research at Proverbs 31 Ministries joins us today to talk about the inescapable aspects of life we are all marked by. We have less control than we want, more anxiety than we're comfortable with and just enough insecurity to continually remind us of our shortcomings. To experience these things is to be human. We aren't superheroes and invincibility isn't an option. But humility is. Episode Links: Show Notes Buy my NEW BOOK "Healing What You Can't Erase" here!

Today, you better buckle your seatbelt. We're taking a deep dive into all-things relationships, my guests, Tim and Kathy Bush have a story to tell.

But more specifically, their wisdom, after 42 years of marriage and enduring infidelity, drugs, and a myriad of other challenges, is a great gift to all of us today. We're going to hear their backstory, but also learn about the shadow side of attraction and chemistry, and why emotional affairs are even more devastating than a one-night stand.

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.

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.

This week, the holiday season begins, and along with that often comes wonderful holiday gatherings. But in many cases, those family gatherings might be awkward. If you're headed into this week thinking, "I hate how politically charged family gatherings become. How do I dodge these situations?" or "I love my family, but they drive me nuts at holiday dinners," this is the conversation for you. But we can't ignore the reality that for some of you, you're hiding tears, thinking, "I am alone during the holidays, and really get depressed. I'd give anything to have a family dinner, even if it's crazy." Joining us this week is my good friend, Dr. John Delony.

While the main focus of the show is mental and emotional health and spiritual growth, we can't ignore the fact that we are spirit, soul, and body. And so I want to take time to have conversations about how our mental and emotional well-being interfaces with our physiology. That's the conversation we're having today with Dave Asprey, founder of Bulletproof, and widely considered the "father of biohacking." Today, we're going to explore biohacking with Dave, the scientific power of fear and forgiveness, why willpower is a sham (you know I'm here for that one!), and morning habits that will change your life.

This week, my friend Ian Simkins is back for part two of a conversation we started in the spring. And let me tell you right now: You aren't ready for what's about to go down in this conversation. Ian is such a wise, intentional, deliberate, thoughtful person, and as you'll hear today, we took out the shovels and dug deep. Here's where we're headed with Ian today: why grieving prevents bitterness, the costly invitation to intimacy, and the distorted rubric for readiness in life. In other words, our ability to bring lasting value to the world has little to do with gifting, talent, networking, or charisma. And to that, we're going to explore why public fruit is the result of private formation.

We'll also scratch the surface on the subject of walking through seasons of transition. This I know: many of you are in transition right now. Maybe it's from a job, a relationship, or just a stage of life. Suffice it to say, transition isn't easy. Michael's going to shed some helpful light on the subject.

This week, Dr. John Delony is back, and I'm so glad about it. No one needs to be told that our lives are filled with more anxiety than ever before. We know it. Our bodies can feel it. The questions we really need to answer "Why?" and "Is there anything we can do about it?" Well, this week, we're answering that question. We're also talking about the cost of living a borrowed life, outsourcing vulnerability, practicing resilience and courage, and why a curated life is a fake life.

I'm so glad to be able to bring this conversation with a new friend to you today. Dr. Lee Warren, a neurosurgeon, is here to talk about his own journey through PTSD. We'll also talk about why you can't selectively numb your pain, breaking generational trauma, and why "your truth" will never heal your trauma.

Listen, when I tell you to buckle up and get ready for today's episode, I'm not joking. I was not prepared for the dropkick Dr. Anita Phillips laid down. The subject matter of today's episode will not be unfamiliar to you, because it is my core message, too. But today, Dr. Anita Phillips, a licensed trauma therapist, is here to talk about what's missing in the mental health conversation, why science and faith are not in conflict, why we have to stop demonizing emotions, and how to heal the nervous system. What she's about to lay out will be a repudiation of the self-help, self-healing messaging so prevalent in culture. And do you know something? I'm here for it.
