“The person you can best serve, is the person you used to be” 😮 wow. I have to let that settle in. Love this discussion. Thank you to both of you. 😊

When I saw the headline I was excited to watch. Ultimately I got nothing from it. Sadly, this is the difference in my generation and younger generations. I’m 57. Born and raised in the south. I’m a child of the 70s. Went to high school and college in the 80s. Everything he said was taught to me by my parents. And I was reading the books he talked about back in the 1980s. Not sure where he gets this woo woo in the south nonsense. It’s an individual thing. It’s how you’re raised. It shows you how far society has fallen when what was common sense in the 70s and 80s now passes for some type of hidden knowledge or wisdom. But that’s what happens when forces destroy family and faith.

I lost my 21-yr old son to suicide in 2008. He was a beautiful soul and an extremely deep thinker. I often wish the internet platforms that are available today were more available to him so that he could engage with others like himself. When I come across people like your current guest, it reminds me of him and I appreciate their capacity to think for themselves and think outside of the box. Very much enjoyed listening to you guys and wish you both all the success, fulfillment and challenges that your hearts desire.

Good way to live . Keep God centered also !!! John 14:9 KJV Bible !!!

Great podcast.

We live on a family farm. I've always worked outside the home to provide a steady income and health insurance. Unfortunately, I also assumed a lot about my hubby's fiscal responsibility that I found misguided. He passed away 3 years ago -our property taxes were in arrears to the point of foreclosure. He had no life insurance. I found myself in a deep hole of debt. My first thought was "sell it all" but after the initial shock, I realized that would not make me happy. Luckily, I had some inheritance that built us a house, so it's paid for. Now i'm managing to work my way out of that debt and live a quiet life. I still struggle some days, but am getting there. Most days are spent working and coming home to my dog, followed by a bit of time decluttering my home. It took us 30 years to acquire all the things here and will take a while to pare them down to a manageable, useful home.

The mindset that "life happens to us" and we are victim of our circumstances is extremely pervasive. "It was/wasn't meant to be" "God has a plan" "Thank god" "A gift from God" "Trust god's plan" I know it's mostly "God" aka theistic positions but God is life. So every time someone mentions "God", you can replace it with "Life" "Life has a plan" "Thank my position in Life" "A gift from Life" They say God created the world with a total plan and has total control. Yet they claim free will and person autonomy. Cognitive Dissonance. 15:13 "That it wasn't meant for me" See what I mean? Who "Meant" it? I mean.... What is controlling your life to make something "For" or "Not for" you?
