How I Get UNSTUCK When Life Is Hard (As a Christian)

What's worse than being stuck? Being stuck and having no idea how to get out. This should help! That feeling of sinking in quicksand, grasping for something, anything, and coming up empty. I know it. I've lived in it! So in this episode I'm sharing four questions I ask myself that have dramatically increased my movement out of hard seasons, and more importantly, increased my day to day joy while I'm still in them! I actually answer all four questions live, plus I share the broken window theory and why I traded goals for rhythms.

Rock Bottom Became My Solid Ground

Welcome to The Basement. I'm Chad Masters, a married father of three littles, just trying to figure life out. This podcast is about showing up when no one sees it. Faith, family, money, fatherhood, fitness, and building something from scratch — and how every one of those areas feeds the others, for better or for worse. It's all connected. I'll be documenting my journey from getting my head above water, creating a vision for my life, and pursuing my mission relentlessly. Starting from exactly where I am right now. In my basement. The rock bottom I hit became my solid ground. And that solid ground was my basement. New episodes dropping soon.
