episode The Shift: The Cycle Ends with Me cover

Description

I thought this episode was going to be about men's mental health... but somewhere along the way, God completely redirected the conversation. It's not just about men or women.It's about us. It's about becoming more like Christ. As I listened back before publishing, I realized the entire episode had unintentionally been built around Galatians 5 (go read ya Bible). Not by quoting it, but by embodying it. I spent the whole episode arguing that the evidence of healing isn't revenge or being "right." It's becoming someone who increasingly bears the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control... even when we've been hurt. At the end of the day, it all comes back to one question: Will I let what happened to me determine who I become, or will I let God determine who I become? Because somebody has to decide. The cycle ends with me.
