Today I sit down with one of my favorite people on the planet...the talented and inspiring Vice President of Incubator Creative Group Tami Rowbotham. Tami and I talk about the ten years I was a recording artist with Incubator Creative Group and the crazy amount of stuff I learned...stage performance, songwriting, building a small business, and the hard stuff...letting God heal my heart. Tami talks about how her own ministry (singing 150 concerts a year) changed into what it is now...guiding creatives into building successful, God-focused ministries. Also in this episode... Living in fear, horror stories from life on the…

Life is a strange thing...a series of failures and successes. Of shattered assumptions and stars eclipsed by clouds. You think your spouse would never betray you. And then they do. You believe your children would never willingly shred your heart in half. And then they do. The trusted friend, the one true ally turns away.

On today's show, I sit down with two awesome people...Randal and Tracy Dowdy! The Dowdys tell me about the quiet peace of living in Mexico, and I confess I'm a bit jealous! We chat about how seeking rest is a practice to be learned and sought after, and discuss the pitfalls of consumerism, the world's definition of success, and idolatry. Randal shares about his own struggle with addiction, seeking solace in strip clubs, and both Randal and Tracy delve deep into the pain of divorce and how they reunited before Randal experienced a 10-Day supernatural encounter with God that changed…

Brian talks about creating safe spaces in grief and he gives me the low-down on his brand-new book Don't You Care That We Are Drowning?...which is a look at the not-so pretty prayers we cry out during times when life hits hard.…
