Displaced Palestinians return to ruins after ceasefire takes effect in Gaza; Nobel Peace Prize goes to Venezuelan opposition leader; Andrew McDonald optimistic Pat Cummins will play the first Ashes Test.

Andrew McDonald never imagined he'd become a pastor, let alone a church planter. Growing up in eastern Canada, church was something you endured weekly while wearing uncomfortable clothes—a religious obligation completely disconnected from daily life. After pursuing what he thought would bring fulfillment—parties, marriage, career success, and material possessions—he found himself at 22 with everything he'd wanted yet feeling "empty and hollow."In a moment of spiritual honesty, Andrew prayed what he calls "the worst prayer I ever prayed," asking God to make him need God. Within a month, his life collapsed as his marriage ended, his company went bankrupt, and he lost everything. But instead of becoming bitter, Andrew recognized something profound happening: "While everything in my life was chaos, there was a sense of peace and purpose that I experienced in the midst of the brokenness."For leaders wondering if they're on the right path, Andrew offers this hard-earned wisdom: "Just because you're a good communicator doesn't mean you're good at communication," and "just because you are a gifted leader doesn't mean that you are leading well." His journey reminds us that authentic leadership isn't about executing our perfect plan, but about recognizing when God is redirecting us toward something better. As he puts it simply: "To us it makes no sense, but God knows better than we do."Send us a textWe want to help you find your next steps in ministry.Connect here with EXCEL.

From the accidental entrepreneur to the laser-focused CEO, we find out how they got to where they are today, not by hearing the go-to story of their success, but talking about how we all have our own BS to deal with and it's through facing ourselves that we find a way to do the fucking thing.Along the way, we hope to show you that YOU are the most important asset in your business (and your life - duh!). Being a business owner is tough! With vulnerability and humor, we get to the real story behind their success and show you that you're not alone._____________________Find all our links to all the things like the socials, how to work with us and how to apply to be on the podcast here: https://linktr.ee/unforgetyourself
