In today’s episode, I’m sharing something deeply personal.
A story of my spiritual journey, and a soul song that emerged from it.
You’ll hear how one question… “Do you feel like all the layers have been pulled off?” opened up an honest reckoning in me.
This conversation will take you through:
- My journey of faith, identity, and unraveling
- The moment I realized my beliefs had outgrown the boxes I was raised in
- Why I stayed silent… and what finally made me speak again
- The Green Room hot seat that gave language to a lifelong metaphor
- And a soul song called How Many Licks to the Center? that flowed from the depth of it all
If you’ve ever felt like your faith was shifting…
like your vocabulary no longer fit your experience…
or like there were parts of you you couldn’t bring into the light…
This episode is for you.
What You’ll Hear:
- A reflection on how our identity in Christ can evolve through mystery
- How I held space for others in spiritual transformation while navigating my own
- The sacred tension between staying safe and being seen
- A new way of understanding spiritual growth, not as biting through, but as savoring
- The full Soul Song: How Many Licks to the Center?
Invitation:
You don’t have to name everything yet.
You don’t have to rush to the center.
You don’t have to count the layers.
But you do get to stop hiding.
And maybe, like me, you’re ready to taste this life one sacred lick at a time.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
