Today, we're revisiting an awesome conversation with Dr. Henry Cloud, who's here talk about when to withhold trust. Trust is key for relationships. It makes everything work.

This week, Gospel music artist Anthony Evans is back on the podcast. You'll remember him from episode 306 of the podcast. But this week, Anthony and I sat down for a candid conversation about signs we're experiencing inflammation in our souls, how dysfunction disguises itself, how grief changes us, and how to hold joy and sorrow simultaneously, which I find to be really relevant to this time of year.

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. We're going to have some fun, but we're also going to equip you to step into this holiday season with confidence and empathy.

This week, we're continuing our two-part mini-series on forming godly men. As I shared last week on the show, I have a passion for seeing men rise up in purity, power, virtue, integrity, character, compassion, kindness, and strength. And so joining us today to continue the series is author, speaker, and pastor of Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Brian Tome. Today, he'll share about how to shun victimhood, harnessing your sexual appetite, why men aren't being raised well, and why marriage is the greatest team a man will ever join. MATURE CONTENT ADVISORY: If you usually listen to the podcast in the presence of your younger kids and teens, some of the content shared today will be mature in nature, perhaps not suitable for their young ears, and as such, I want to be responsible to give you a heads-up.

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.

This week, the founder of UPPERROOM, Michael Freeland Miller, joins us to talk about why in life, "simple" doesn't always mean "easy." 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. We're also going to unpack how to steward pain and transition well, as well as the unmistakable priority to host God's presence.

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.

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.

This week, licensed professional counselor and author Sissy Goff joins us to talk to parents about how anxious parents create anxious kids, intentionality in parenting versus a posture of hyper-vigilance, how to navigate trauma with children, and how to become a worry-free parent. What does that mean? As you know, anxiety has an amazing ability to spread. Time and time again, when Sissy Goff has an anxious child or teen in her office, she's found they have at least one very well-intentioned but anxious parent. And that anxiety is likely affecting your kids, distracting you in the present, and making you feel like it will define your family's future.

We are zooming in on masculinity, and really, the cultural repudiation of it.

What does our desire for certainty and control have to do with our decision-making? According to behavioral economics pioneer Peter Atwater, the answer is simple: everything. Today, Peter joins us to talk about how to get comfortable without certainty or control, why powerlessness is a choice, and why the future we imagine is consistent with how we feel today.

Thanks for joining me this week for Summer Break here on Win Today. Four weeks. Four of your favorite conversations. And this week, author and pastor Dharius Daniels is here to talk about emotional intelligence, the consequences of living outside your identity, and the misguided pursuit of "your best self." Dharius has been poking a box labeled "You do you. Be true to yourself. Speak your truth. Become your best self." But as we look at culture that is embracing this message, despair, anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation is rampant. We'll unpack the disconnect with Dharius today, along with a discussion about identity and significance. Dharius says, "God will not honor the direction of our lives when we are living outside of our unique identity." In other words, God will not bless who we pretend to be. That's coming up in today's featured conversation.

Dr. Robin Stern joins us to talk about a subject you've been asking for specifically, and that's gaslighting. So today, we're talking about the far-reaching effects of manipulative psychological, and emotional abuse. Robin says, "Gaslighting undermines your confidence and self-esteem, robs you of your sense of self, and is often so subtle that you don't realize it's happening. It can cause you to question your own memory, perception, and sanity, and to feel powerless, helpless, and out of control."

Today, we're with talking with author, educator, and speaker, Jasmine L. Holmes about how shame compounds, the "gospel" of shame, and how resentment and grief shape our souls.
