Why Embracing the suffering Will Set You Free (and how freezing rivers changed my life) | Episode #2

This episode is a deeply personal narrative of how God taught me the freedom that comes through embracing necessary suffering. 

I share my journey from avoiding pain and chasing comfort (the “hedonic treadmill”) to embracing suffering as a transformative gift. Through cold plunges and other forms of discomfort, learning how to sit with pain rather than run from it—developing resilience, discipline, and deep gratitude along the way.

Drawing from personal struggles, faith, health challenges, and even inspiration from books like Dopamine Nation and Mistborn, we’ll reframe suffering not as a curse but as God’s gift—a necessary crucible for becoming who we are meant to be. 

The episode blends storytelling, science, philosophy, and spirituality, ultimately encouraging listeners to stop escaping discomfort and instead embrace it as the path to purpose and fulfillment.
