You Did it Again: Now What?

A Strategy to Find Hope When You Blame Yourself
Sometimes, we make a decision or choice today that threatens our success, happiness, family, work, or health tomorrow. Lisa and I call this the “Tomorrow Tax.”
(Adapted from Season 8, Episode 10 for Throwback Thursday)

This episode is in response to a listener named Julie, who asked me to prescribe an “Emergency Dose” for when we find ourselves paying that Tomorrow Tax again.

Listen to hear the four steps to take if you find yourself paying a tax tomorrow on what happened yesterday.

Scripture: Job 38:11, James 1:14-16

Believing False Stories About Ourselves: Gideon and Self-Brain Surgery Oct 03, 2023

Show notes

It's Tuesdays with Tata!
Hard to believe, but this is episode #87 in the Tuesdays with Tata series.
Today, Tata walks us through the story of Gideon in Judges 6 and 7 in the Old Testament. It's a familiar story, but it's so easy to miss some huge lessons. We talk about how Gideon believed a story about himself ("I'm the weakest member of the weakest clan of the weakest tribe in my weak country"), but that God had a very different belief about Gideon. We'll see how Gideon had to go all-in to believe God, change his mind about limiting beliefs, be willing to even go up against his own father, and in the end, step into his real calling and identity.
If you feel stuck, weak, or believe things about yourself that are different than the truth of God made you to be, this episode will encourage you.

I Came Home From the War and Never Unpacked the "Bags" of My Trauma

Here's an overview of my experience with PTSD from the Iraq War, and answers to questions I received in a letter from a fellow sufferer.

It’s an episode from season 1, with a new introduction. In the episode, I talk about the great work done on trauma recovery by Dr. Gabor Maté, but I’m pretty sure I called him “Gabriel” in my 3 am- coffee-deprived state!

How Do You Handle Trauma? Sep 26, 2023

Show notes

I’ve Discovered Four Different Ways People Respond to the Hard Things Life Brings

The question is, are you going to wait to discover how you respond to your massive thing, or are you going to try to build your life so as to predict a healthier response when it happens to you? Is it up to chance, or is it your choice how you respond?

This episode breaks down the four types of responses I’ve noticed after “The Massive Thing” or TMT happens. It doesn’t have to be chance for you, friend. But you can’t change your life until you change your mind.
