I hope you find this week's video helpful. I don't talk a lot about "fake news" in the video, but following what I say would make a huge impact. I focus a little more on the "bad religion" part. We all need to grow up ... and part of how we grow is by discarding the childish and destructive ideas we grew up thinking.
This week I'm also letting you know about a workshop I've been working on. In fact, I'm teaching some of this in my own church right now. I'd love to share it with your community.
If you like the video, please share it, and also subscribe to the channel. Once I reach a certain threshold of subscribers, I will be able to do more things with the channel -- such as create its own custom name and other things. Let me know what you think!

2. New Seminar: Mentally Healthy, Mentally Strong: facing the internal struggles that define our lives
I've put together a workshop that I'd love to give at your church or community organization. Up until now (prior to the pandemic), this kind of workshop has been important and helpful -- and I've led many of them. But now, in our situation today, this kind of seminar is paramount.
Quick Overview of the Seminar
I would focus on three particular aspects of this struggle, and depending on the audience, I could give more or less attention to each of these three:
- Struggles with Anxiety
- Struggles with Discouragement / Depression
- Struggles with Desire (sexual temptation, intimacy)

Read my latest book:
"Leaving Your
Mark Without Losing Your Mind"
This book focuses on the innate need we all have to make a difference with our lives ... and what gets in the way. Building a life of meaning and purpose is essential for our happiness, but many people get sidelined because of stress, overwhelm, and discouragement. This book will help you find strategies to overcome those challenges (and others).
