I Tried to Fix a Broken Friendship... Here's What Happened | Think on These Things Ep 96

On the show today, I'm sharing the deeply personal story behind a surprise message I received last week from a former friend. It’s a powerful reflection on what happens when a friendship isn't fortified or true in test. We'll talk about a difficult call from last May, a failed attempt at reconciliation, and the final 'breakup text' that ultimately brought me an incredible gift: confidence, clarity, and assurance. Plus, we'll touch on the crisis of true friendship in our world today, and why every loss is a lesson when viewed through the lens of gratitude.#thinkonthesethings #clarity #confidence

The Pastor Who EXILED Me | Think on These Things Ep 94

On the show today, I share the full, personal story of joining a church community—only to be suddenly and unceremoniously exiled after questioning the pastor’s commitment to principle over political gain. From being presented as a "God-send" ministry leader to being cut off via an intermediary, hear the full account of the leader who thought they could play politics with the Gospel. I break down the ironies, the receipts, and why the "veneer of principle obfuscating the reality of politics" is all too common in today's church. If you’ve ever felt conflicted, disheartened, or ashamed because you've been rejected or mistreated by church leadership, this is for you.  Plus, learn how to give thanks with your life, not just your lips, and why You Can't Block God. #thinkonthesethings #clarity #confidence
