Here are some excerpts from the episode: Can you share a bit about your personal journey with faith and how it led you to the field of counseling?”Okay, so I'm a product of a failed marriage. My parents divorced when I was really young. I don't remember it. All I remember are the effects of having to visit my dad on the weekends and always asking him why are things the way they are. I remember being quite upset as a kid, wishing my family could get back together. But I didn't really have any kind of personal relationship with God. It was just based on this is what my family does, so this is what I do. I didn't really know God. And I don't know that I really cared to at that time. It was something nice to do.”… "We have sore spots. And today, if someone presses me in that sore spot by using a tone of voice with me or using a certain word, it might press on one of those old tapes, right? And that's going to hurt. That's going to hurt a lot.”…”For people looking for you, where would they look? "Okay. So our website is checkyourcompass.org; it's the word check, the word your, Y-O-U-R, and then the word compass, C-O-M-P-A-S-S dot O-R-G.”
