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!

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...

Show Notes Welcome friends to the Next Chapter with Charlie. On a recent blog I wrote the following note… “On my last trip (3 weeks in Asia), I discovered a new mantra for taking time away from home. “I no longer go on vacations to sight-see. Instead, I take pilgrimages to experience wonder.” What if I made that my mantra for every single day? “Anticipate little except moments of surprise and wonder.” And so with this, I chat with author, teacher, and landscape architect, Terry Hershy.

info_outlineI have to say this may be my favorite podcast ever. My guest, Terry Hershey, and I go totally off script and have a genuine conversation about what it means to live apart from the script given to us by family and society. It’s about Changing the Rules of YOUR Game of Life.
Today we plan to offer a new way of determining the activities of your life. I’d like to Change the Rules of the Game by following the prompting of your heart, as you diminish the negative feedback you receive from your head and other people.
Much of today’s conversation will be based on Taryn Voget’s new book, Trust Fall: A story about learning to trust life, love ourselves, and redefine success. This little 126-page book made me think, a lot.
In this podcast we discuss:
- Following your heart often requires you to “change the rules off the game.”
- The “game” is the script given to you by others. And it can take decades to dismiss that script, if ever!
- What does it mean to love yourself?
- Why “trusting ourselves” is so vital yet do difficult.
- Why do we buy into the “script” given to us by others then “blame” ourselves for failing?
- Following your heart is about being fully human, regaining what we have lost in the shuffle, when life has been relegated to keeping score. To be human is to cultivate the good life and gardening your soul.
- When we honor numbers over people there is something wrong in our soul.
- How do you follow your heart when following your heart impacts the lives of significant people in your life?
