My goal for listeners and readers is to foster conversation, understanding, and pursue truth- accenting the ways we are able to sustain hope through agency.
Woman recorded herself happy to divorce her husband of 17 years and excited to date new people: “Divorcing after 17 years together. Divorce doesn’t have to be ugly. In fact, this is probably the best our relationship has been in a while.” Thoughts?
I think "affirming therapy" has gone too far. People pay therapists to be told that all their problems are not their fault. Are people so fragile that they can't be told their cognitions are distorted or their emotions are unregulated? We grow by first accepting our limitations.
If significant evidence and common sense shows that following a set of steps leads to 97% likelihood of avoidance of poverty, why would we deprive young people of this information?

Everything we want in life tends to be on the other side of everything we don’t want to do. As Jesus himself described it, the road to abundant life is narrow, and few people find it.
I remember being a public school coach sitting in a middle school scheduling meeting. There was a private high school coach there whom I had an issue with because he was "stealing my players." I confronted him very aggressively, and he asked me to sit down so he could show me something.
He opened his phone and showed me dozens of youth coaches and parents begging him to take their kids. He didn't have to recruit them; they were stalking him and begging him for a spot on his team.
I could break down what I learned from this situation, but your mind won't see it like mine did. People want to be with the best; they will find out who that is on their own. I hope it's you! #KeepWorking
A couple of our guys are spending the summer wrestling with the themes of hope, persistence, and resilience through examining the work of literary giants like Tolstoy, Chekhov, and Dostoevsky. Each week the guys find ways to apply these teachings to their daily lives.
