William Paul Young is back—and this convo is a true gift. If you know The Shack, you already know Paul has a way of sharing stories that stretch your heart and soul. In this episode, we go deep on navigating life’s seasons—the expected ones, the surprising ones, and the hard ones too.
We talk about letting go of pressure, trusting God in the now, and why Paul says a “purpose-driven life” might be the wrong goal. (Yep, he goes there—and it’s powerful.)
Plus, we break some big news: Paul is working on a sequel to The Shack… and the inspiration came from an unexpected place! (The story will inspire you!) He shares why he’s writing it now, what’s changed since the original, and he even drops a few plot twists that will surprise even the most die-hard Shack fans. (Be the first to hear it!)
Whether you're in a season of clarity or confusion, this episode is packed with honesty, hope, and a reminder that trusting the right things can change everything.
