Doug and J.R. talk about joy, how they look for joy and what blocks it. J.R. discusses racing an eighty-year-old man at the pool the other day. We have the privilege to have an honest conversation with Pastor David Sharpes. David brings so much wisdom and tears to this episode. He is a confessed recovering church growth pastor, has a deep love for cultivating healthy staff, and family. David is passionate about following Jesus and knowing your worth and belovedness comes from who you are, not what you do. We are really excited to share Dave with you all!Resources1.
