Hey dad, wanna have a catch?

Field of Dreams is one of my all-time favorite movies - especially the last scene where Dwier Brown plays the role of Kevin Costner's character's father.

I was honored to have a conversation with Dwier on fate, fatherhood, and Field of Dreams in celebration of Father's Day 2022 and in this podcast Morgan and I go back and react to that conversation including parts of the chat that were previously unreleased.

In this episode, Dwier reminisces on his time on the set of Field of Dreams and shares behind the scenes stories, we discuss his relationship with his grandfather, father, and son, and we talk about the role of fate in the journey we all undertake of becoming who we truly are in this life.

I hope that the video inspires you as much as it did me...and if it does, perhaps send it to the fathers in your life!

"The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are." -Carl Jung

Kids come into the world full of creativity, and curiosity, but adults shut down who a child truly is by instilling fear through Christian teachings of hell and the rapture, confusion around sexuality and gender before they are ready to be exposed to those topics, guilt around their skin color, polarization through labels and telling kids which groups of people are 'good' and 'bad,' and the insanity of school shootings and having to walk through metal detectors in order to get to class.

In this episode, Morgan and I talk about our sadness over seeing these topics crop up so often, our fear about the cost of speaking up and saying what we really believe, and we discuss two heroes who helped un-brainwash us.

We also discuss how to raise free-thinking kids like her daughters, and how to continually identify and unravel the brainwashing (and subsequent fear and biases) that we all have in some shape or form.

This is a controversial, difficult episode, but we really tried to open our hearts and speak from a place of truth and wisdom. We hope that you find value and meaning from it and that the ways we describe brainwashing - and what we can do to unbrainwash ourelves and protect our kids - can, well, help you and your loved ones become more of who you truly are!

This week's guest, Camille Brattli, grew up in the Philippines in a very tight-knit family unit and church community.

There wasn't enough room for her to say no and be herself, so she spent her twenties living in Thailand, the Netherlands, and Norway before she finally gained her sense of self and learned how to say no.

Camille's story sheds light on ways that we can learn to identify when others are pressuring us to conform into people pleasing and she gives insight on how we can learn to deal with the discomfort inherent in saying no and setting boundaries.

This week, I am honored to be talking to Lana Jernigan, who helped raise a whole generation of youth group kids through her long tenure at a summer camp ministry near Fayetteville, NC called Camp Dixie!

Lana was one of the few adults who actually seemed to make sense to me when I was a teenager, so naturally, she made a huge impression on me and I thought it would be fun to have her on the show to reminisce together and to hear about the turning points in her life’s journey that brought her closer to a life of authenticity.

Lana is a mother, grandmother, and recently moved to Georgia to start a new adventure as Director of Operations for Trueface.

In this episode, Lana is going to get real with us about how peace and pain can co-exist in the middle of loss, why it’s ok to beat on God’s chest, and how God’s grace changes everything. I’m sure that by the end of this hour, we’re all going to be inspired by Lana’s story, which will prove that God loves us and wants to launch us into the dreams he has for us!

To celebrate ten episodes of the Becoming Who You Truly Are podcast, my friend Morgan Thompson asked me questions that you, the listeners, submitted!

We talk about a range of subjects from maturity, my new adventure starting my first job in Norway, how to live a happy life, how to stop war, why it's so hard to find a good job, our favorite classical instruments, ethical dilemmas, morality, learning Norwegian and American Sign Language, and whether or not humans can love dogs.

Then, we hone in on a letter that a listener submitted where she asks for advice on how to help the gay teen in her life. We discuss what gay teens need, whether God loves gay people, whether being gay is a sin, bible passages about homosexuality, and why we love God.

"The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are."

Call me! This week, I’m THRILLED to be speaking with Gary Lachman, who played bass guitar for the iconic rock group Blondie before embarking upon a successful legacy as a biographer of major figures in philosophy, psychology, and mysticism.

Gary and I begin by discussing his wonderful book Jung the Mystic, which I stumbled upon in a library several years ago.

Then, we talk about the turning points in Gary’s life story: comic books, rock music, and Jung!

Gary talks about how he learned to read through comic books and how the lessons he learned from those stories inspired his songwriting and later allowed him to understand and write about major thinkers and their profound ideas about life in a fun and enjoyable way!

Then, Gary and I go on a trip down memory lane when he shares about the beginnings of Blondie, living with his bandmates, writing songs like I’m Always Touched by Your Presence Dear, and what led to his departure from the group.

Then, Gary shares about his time between Blondie and finding his path as a writer, when he founded his own band called The Know and toured with Iggy Pop, followed the teachings of Aleister Crowley and was deeply impacted by Colin Wilson’s book The Occult, and eventually found his way to London.

Gary ends by sharing deep, powerful thoughts about unpacking the potential of who we truly are, following our interests, and the win-win strategy of believing that life has meaning. I’m sure that by the end of this hour, we’re all going to be inspired by Gary’s story, which will prove that if we follow our interests and take risks, we will undoubtedly create a meaningful life.
