Description
Pete Wilson is the former pastor of one of the fastest growing churches in the country, but life took a drastic turn when he went through personal burnout and a divorce. Armed with a new awareness that failure is not final and that unconditional love can melt away destructive shame, he’s discovering the beauty and purpose of life again. He has remarried and is now partnering with his wife, Jordyn, for this new podcast. Good Talk exists to help people take their mind off the temporary and heavy, and remind them of the joy of life, the love of God, and the possibilities that lie ahead. If you’re interested in living a more meaningful life but you don’t really know where to start or maybe you’re interested in spirituality but you’ve been burned or feel intimated by traditional religion, then this podcast is for you. Each week Pete and Jordyn will share some amazing stories and introduce you to some inspiring people. They’ll share what they’re struggling with (even when it’s not pretty), challenge us to rethink some religious misconceptions we’ve held onto, and give us some practical strategies to live the life we’ve been created to live.

We all have (or will have) seasons in life where we may encounter the debilitating emotion of shame in some way. Sometimes shame occurs from something that happened TO us, while sometimes we feel shame because of something we've DONE. Either way, it's important to heal from our shame so we can truly live the life we're intended to live (and not wallow in our disappointment of ourselves or fall victim to others).
Whether you're married, dating, have friends or family relationships, I promise you this one thing (whether you know it or not) is the basis for whether or not your relationships are thriving. It may not be exactly what you would expect, but it's a game changer if we can all be intentional to incorporate into our relationships more actively.
If you're not a Swiftie, this is less about Taylor and more about a circumstance in her life and career that was considered a worse-case scenario. Because of some decisions and perspective shifts she made, she turned the worst thing into the single most pivotal and successful path she could have ever dreamed of. We're talking about overcoming and shifting our minds in hard times to see a path forward.
Worry is something we all have struggled with at one point or another. But what happens if we shift our thoughts to something more hopeful, because worrying doesn't actually help anything, does it? What if it all worked out? How would that change how we live?
Inevitably, if not already, we will all have the thought that "life isn't going how we had thought it would." That can be in small ways but also in some big ways that throw us for a loop. In this episode, we're talking about 3 practical ways that help you get through those tough times when things aren't going as planned.
