In this episode, I talk to Ruth Wickremesooriya about the disease of perfectionism. Perfectionism is the sort of thing that is wrongfully accepted as a positive motivation, but it is a subversive enemy to happiness and acceptance, which is what it ultimately promises to provide. Have a listen! We welcome your feedback.

In this episode, I talk to Hip-Hop Artist Shopé. He is the current winner of the CBC SearchLight 2019 competition. We talk about his music, his faith in Jesus, family, and his ambitions at present and for the future. His entrepreneur skills have led him to start a tutoring business called: The Learning Bee, like the following link provided below. Shopé knows where he's from and has a vision of where he is headed. It was my pleasure to chat with him.

Faith is an immaterial treasure. It is the substance of things hoped for; how does faith uphold or make sense of anticipated prayers that have not yet materialized? In this episode, my wife Amy and I talk about the debilitating reality of infertility and its subversive attack on our faith.
