Today we’re talking about loneliness. This is something I’m so passionate about - in fact, I’m writing a book on it right now.

You guys are going to love my next guest - it’s her first time! She is a new friend, but she is a deep and fast friend. Welcome my friend Lisa Bevere!

We are living in a world of unknowns. There are threats to every part of our lives, it feels like. There is also conflict and people raging everywhere.

We are talking about all the different emotions we’ve felt during this season, and I would say one has been, on certain occasions, hopeless. Almost none of us have similar situations like Nick, who we’re going to talk to today.

We were planning out this season and I was looking at all these words that everybody was feeling, and I was feeling pretty overwhelmed by all of it. This is dark stuff!

I really, really don’t want to talk about this one, because I’m so afraid I have so much of this in my life through quarantine. I think that when I get sad, I’m a 7 on the enneagram, so I love coping! I love comfort!

You are in for a treat because Joni Eareckson Tada is here!

I’m really excited to talk to you today about doubt, because other than the book, Get Out of Your Head, where I go into great detail with my 18 months of wrestling with doubt, I really haven’t dealt with the issue of doubt.

Today we have one of our most popular guests back on the podcast! It’s a high level of what we’re going to do today. Dr. Curt Thompson is in the house and we are so excited!

This season we’re talking about the hard emotions a lot of us are facing in this very chaotic time. We’re going to take the next 10 weeks and talk about shame, deep sadness, irritation, bitterness, isolation.

Today is such a treat, because you’re going to get to hear from my friend in Kenya, Jey. We’re having this conversation today because we need some perspective, and that comes best for me when I hear other people’s stories.

Today you’re getting to hear another sneak peek from IF:Lead 2020! This episode is an interview I did with my new friend, Dr. Anita Phillips, on the emotional impact of 2020.
