Until we have faced the black moment, sometimes life has never burned hard enough to force us to find our destiny. And until we have truly been able to see what the Gospel was all about, sometimes scripture is only words. Thankfully, I was able to find both destiny and the Gospel in Pendleton Correctional Facility, and my life has never been the same since.

We all have scabs. Any crisis or trauma can peel back them back. What you may be facing today is not the “pandemic” or “financial crisis” but past traumas and trials that are being exposed.
Some things to remember if this is happening: let it out, communicate, educate, and share. In today's podcast we talk about how to do this and more, including a poignant story on the impact of keeping your scabs hidden and not letting them heal.
There is hope, and you are not alone. Let's fly together.

Wise words are like deep waters, and wisdom flows from the wise like a bubbling brook, so says the good book. Yet, how often have I forgotten the power our words carry, and the opportunities we have everyday to use them wisely.
A young man serving a long sentence for dealing cocaine taught me a valuable lesson on the power of words, and the importance of the good samaritan, today, on The Pilgrim's Odyssey.

What a brutal companion time can be. I was lying in bed, feeling sorry for myself at the time I had lost. It is so easy to become consumed by what we can’t get back. This can lead us to feeling like we have run out of time. But have we?
Today with a little help from Scott Peck, the Bible, and an Old Sea Captain, we talk about how to redeem the moments we have and stop feeling like we are running out of time to matter.
