What if failure wasn’t the end—but the beginning of something greater?
In this episode of the Deep Spirituality Podcast, Russ sits down with Dr. Gary Ruelas and Dr. Josh Turner to explore why failure is essential to growth in science, spirituality, and everyday life.
You’ll hear stories about experiments gone wrong, the hidden lessons of parenting, and why resilience matters more than perfection. Discover how early schooling wires us to fear mistakes, why embracing vulnerability can unlock deeper relationships, and how redefining success can free us from the endless chase for achievement.
Whether you’re a student, parent, or professional, this conversation will help you see failure in a whole new light—as a tool for discovery, strength, and even joy.
👉 Don’t just listen—take the first step toward embracing your own “sacred art of not giving up.” Subscribe now, share this episode, and start practicing the kind of resilience that transforms both faith and life.
