W. Paul Young, author of “The Shack” joined us on The StoryField.

We had a deeply honest conversation with Paul touching some major parts of his story:

  • growing up as a missionary kid.
  • surviving abuse and generational wounds.
  • the first time he told the truth after getting caught in an affair.
  • the long journey into healing, trust and presence. 

Join us for this amazing interview with Paul Young where we explored some other ideas that could change your life -

Expectations: why releasing expectations frees relationships.

Trusting God: how living in the moment is the heart of real trust and how to move from control to healthy trust.

Grace: for the moment.

Responsibility: is not what has been taught; it’s really the “ability to respond”.

And, of course we learned the surprising origin of The Shack.

Why listen: This episode is for anyone wrestling with shame, control, or the fear-driven future-trip. Paul’s hard-won wisdom invites a life of present-tense trust, radical honesty, and deeper, safer relationships.

Betrayal Season 5

Betrayal Season 5

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
