The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes #400 Ash Perrow: Working from the Heart Today with my guest Ash Perrow, I release my 400th podcast episode. When I began this project, I had no idea where this journey would lead — only that I felt called to speak, reflect, and explore what matters most. Very few podcasts ever reach 400 episodes. I read that fewer than 1% of all podcasts reach 400 episodes. The real milestone, however, isn’t the number of shows. It’s the conversations, the growth, and the community that has formed along the way. At this time, I especially want to thank you for listening and thinking with me....

#399 Charlie-Consistency When No One is Watching
The Next Chapter with Charlie
#399 Charlie: When No One is Watching I believe that a well-lived life isn’t built in grand moments. It’s made in small, unseen choices. It’s about staying consistent when no one is watching. Obviously, there is no single path to a well-lived life, but there are qualities that seem to appear along the way. In my mind those are: Authenticity, curiosity, resilience, and spirituality. These four are not achievements—they’re practices, quietly chosen, over and over again. These qualities certainly don’t guarantee ease, but they do deepen presence. And over time, they shape a life that...

#396 Chris Avery: The Emerging Role of Men
The Next Chapter with Charlie
My guest today is Chris Avery. With a humble but steadily growing community of 5,000 Christian men, Chris Avery brings a grounded voice to topics like discipline, fatherhood, and the gritty side of spiritual growth. Chris wasn’t born with unshakeable confidence. He’s walked through the valley of fear, experienced doubt, and rebuilt himself one mile at a time (which we will talk about more as the show proceeds). Chris has coached more than a thousand people, helping men find clarity, resilience, and deeper identity in Christ. Let’s find out more as we bring Chris Avery on the show!

#395 Steve Garnass-Holmes
The Next Chapter with Charlie
My guest today is friend and poet Steve Garnass-Holmes. Steve Garnass-Holmes’s life is rich in thought and in experience. Talking to Steve is like talking to a writer of wisdom literature. Today we will begin the show by addressing the question, “What does it really mean to follow Jesus?” Is it a heart or head issue? The heart says to love while the head becomes laden with thoughts of being right. But there is really only one way to be right and that is To Love. Steve Garnass-Holmes will challenge what you may believe and then encourage you with one simple truth. Let’s find out...

#394 Shauna - Creating a New Normal
The Next Chapter with Charlie
info_outlineShow Notes
Hey Paul. Today, instead of sitting with you in studio, right now I am sitting on my sofa in my apartment in Lisbon, Portugal. I was out today roaming the town and finding myself surrounded by throngs of tourists. Man, I have a distaste for crowds. And I do have a bit of frustration with tourists that expect nationals to behave in ways that suit their personal desires.
Life is different in a foreign country and, truthfully, that is precisely what makes a foreign country so attractive—it is “foreign.”
This is a different kind of trip for me. I am spending more time in my apartment than usual, seeing fewer sights that usual because I am reading and writing. Still, I do not feel the same as I do at home.
Different “home” with different people, foods, and habits.
Please join Paul and me for an update on “Adventures in Solitude in Lisbon.”
