We don't talk about despair much...even though we all have plenty of reason to fall into it.

Perhaps you've tried for years (or decades) to break free of some vice or shortcoming that has plagued you since childhood.

Perhaps despite intensive (herculean) efforts, you cannot seem to do what you think God wants you to...like really loving and serving your wife.

Join me in this episode as I dive into the topic of despair. What is it, and more importantly...what do we do about it?

You are not alone.

50 - Elusive Elk Escapades

What do you call a trip that doesn't accomplish any of the formal objectives, and ends in everyone getting COVID?

Most people wouldn't think so.

But what if we measure the success or failure using different metrics? What if we look at relationships built or friendships forged?

Join me in this episode as I share some stories and lessons from my elk trip. You don't need to be an elk hunter to appreciate them!
