When we find ourselves stuck and unable to make progress after a breakup it is almost always because of the thoughts and stories about the relationship or breakup that we are telling ourselves. And these thoughts are VERY often far removed from the reality of the situation.
Send us Fan MailWhat happens when you deliberately try to get rejected 1,000 times?Six months ago, I started the 1,000 Rejection Challenge to stop letting fear of rejection make decisions for me. I committed to making 10 asks every week—submitting my art and writing, pitching ideas, entering competitions, applying for opportunities, and deliberately risking hearing “no.”Now I've made 212 asks and officially received my 100th rejection.But instead of pushing harder, I'm doing something I didn't expect: taking a break.In this Wildly Rejected: Becoming the Bison update, I'm looking at what six months of intentionally facing rejection has taught me about resilience, creative burnout, knowing when to pause, and recognizing the opportunities that are actually pointing you toward your next direction.And some of the biggest lessons came from two very unexpected places: Sharkapalooza and two monarch butterflies named Nemo and Cora.After caring for Nemo and Cora when they emerged with damaged wings, I wrote an essay called Broken Wings & Broken Heart. The magazine rejected it—but instead of simply saying no, its readers gave me extensive feedback and invited me to revise and resubmit.That rejection forced me to dig deeper into the story and ultimately into myself.The essay became Broken Wings, Begin Again.That experience reminded me why I started this challenge in the first place. A rejection isn't always a dead end. Sometimes it's information. Sometimes it's redirection. Sometimes it means “not yet.” And sometimes the thing you're creating—or the person creating it—just isn't finished developing yet.After six months:212 asks100 rejections56 acceptances33 in review17 waiting5 otherThat's 100 of the 1,000 rejections I'm chasing—and a pretty poetic place to let this experiment rest for October.I'll be back to Becoming the Bison in November.Until next time, unplug, get outside, and see what develops.ABOUT WILDLY UNPLUGHosted by naturalist, artist, photographer, and storyteller Lauren Connolly, Wildly Unplug explores what happens when we step away from the noise, reconnect with nature and creativity, and give ourselves room to see what develops.

Relationships are so amorphous - and so complex. You can't hold them in your palms, yet they can crumble in front of your very eyes. I have no idea about the statistics or the studies, but all around me I see dead ties that persist. And I'm glad they do. In a world where we demand perfect relationships and expect them to become shiny almost overnight, there is something worth remembering: relationships take time to find their richness, become their best - or, at their worst, become bearable. I think most couples will agree that once the honeymoon is over, the toughest years are often the early ones. That's when they discover that sharing space is vastly different from sharing love. She wants a harder bed; he wants the room chilled to 18 degrees at night. She wants an “I love you” before breakfast and twice after dinner. He thinks a thought, a hug or a phone call is quite enough. She loves elaborate gifts because she loves giving them. He couldn't care less and is happiest writing her a personal poem - which, naturally, leaves her dissatisfied. The trouble begins when these differences stop being differences and become permanent battle lines. Some things have difficult solutions, of course. But when both people keep digging in their heels, they are simply creating a frontline. And then another dynamic kicks in: one starts feeling that they are always the one giving in. Isn't that unfair? So the heels go deeper. More arms are added to the frontline. And then the inevitable happens. One person begins to feel that they are always giving more. The uncomfortable truth is that, in most relationships, there will be an imbalance of sorts. One person will take more decisions; another will be more involved in the home; one may handle more of the finances. And there will inevitably be moments when one person has to take the majority of the important family decisions. Like it or lump it, that's often the nature of relationships - working or personal. The unfairness begins when you start keeping score. When the relationship becomes a place to prove who gives more, who sacrifices more, or who is the boss. It rarely ends well. Counsellors would grow hungry if all of this were revealed early enough in a session. Because when all a person can see are the bad things in a relationship, they become completely blind to what drew them to each other in the first place. And once that happens, the road to perdition is already well laid.

How do you learn the lessons of mortality before mortality forces you to? Watch this conversation on YouTube . After Wendell Berry's death, Russell Moore gathered with friends to talk about Berry's life and work. During that conversation, pastor and author Russ Ramsey brought up Remembering, Berry's novel about Andy Catlett, a farmer who loses his right hand—and, with it, his old way of holding on to the world. Years earlier, Ramsey had nearly died from a bacterial infection that required open-heart surgery. Reading Remembering during his recovery gave him language for what was happening to him: the disorientation of suddenly knowing life will not go back to what it was, the temptation to take our pain out on those closest to us, and the strange clarity that can come from confronting death. Dr. Moore wanted to continue that conversation here. He and Ramsey talk about whether it is possible to learn some of mortality's lessons without first being “struck”; why suffering sometimes makes us freer and sometimes makes us harder; and what happens when a culture responds to death not with resurrection hope but with attempts to outrun mortality altogether. Yes, the tech bros come up. They also turn to Ramsey's books Rembrandt Is in the Wind and Van Gogh Has a Broken Heart. What initially seems like a different subject turns out not to be different at all. Ramsey's writing about mortality and his writing about art are both concerned with learning to see—to pay attention to beauty, to other people, and to the life in front of us while we still have it. Along the way, Ramsey walks us through how to look at a painting, why you don't have to like every great work of art, and how to know when it's time to leave a museum—which, as it turns out, may be a lesson about mortality too. Plus, stay to the end to hear Ramsey's song “The Ballad of Andy Catlett,” inspired by Berry's Remembering.

Welcome to episode 263 of Grasp the Bible. In this episode, we will embark on a study through the Book of Nehemiah. Today, we will look at a broken heart for a broken wall. Key takeaways: A city without walls was a city under shame. The broken walls of Jerusalem were a living monument to the consequences of Israel's unfaithfulness — every passerby was reminded: we are still paying for what our ancestors did. Nehemiah mourned for many days. The extended mourning represents genuine spiritual preparation — not processing feelings to get past them, but staying in the burden until God does something with it. Prayer is not a transaction — it is a repositioning of your heart before God, so that when you finally make your ask, it has been shaped and purified by everything you have laid down before Him. The question is not whether you will be active for God. The question is whether your activity flows from a burdened, praying heart — or from your own urgency and desire to be useful. Nehemiah does not pray because Israel deserves restoration. He prays because God keeps His promises regardless of whether His people deserve it. Quotable: God's love for you does not depend on your performance. Application: Stop managing your emotional distance from the broken things around you and let one of them actually touch you. Ask God to break your heart over something that breaks His. Then stay in that place long enough to pray. This week, restructure one prayer time around Nehemiah's pattern. Open with five full minutes of adoration — just tell God who He is. Then confess, not only your own sins, but the sins of our community as if they are partly yours. Find a promise in Scripture and pray it back to God. Then make your request. Before you act on the burdens God has placed on your heart this week — before you make that phone call, send that email, or have that hard conversation — spend real time in prayer first. Not as a formality or a spiritual checkbox, but as a genuine act of positioning yourself under God's leadership.

Episode 231: Shakespeare in noted for the diversity of deaths in the plays and the way that he represents the mechanics of those deaths. My guest for this episode has written a book on this very subject, ‘Death by Shakespeare', who's subtitle ‘Snakebites, Stabbings and Broken Hearts', gives just a hint of that diversity. In the book Kathryn Harkup casts a scientific eye over the varied and creative ways that Shakespeare's characters die and both questions and admires the accuracy of the portrayals of death in the plays and looks at how Shakespeare's audience would have received these events, and much more.Kathryn Harkup is a former chemist turned writer and science communicator. Her interests are in anything gothic, gory and geeky, and preferably all three. She has written several books on the crossover between science, literature and pop culture including The Secret Lives of the Elements, The Secret Lives of Molecules, A is for Arsenic: The Poisons of Agatha Christie, Making the Monster: The Science of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Death by Shakespeare: Snakebites, Stabbings and Broken Hearts, Superspy Science: Science, Death and Tech in the World of James Bond and Vampirology: The Science of Horror's Most Famous Fiend.

Country Artist • Songwriter • StorytellerDavid Serby September 1st | 7 PM EST Title: Broken Hearts, Honky Tonks & Finding Common Ground Tagline: Sometimes the songs born from trying, failing, and learning become the stories that connect us most. Description: On September 1st at 7 PM EST, Teatime with Miss Liz welcomes Los Angeles country artist and songwriter David Serby for a conversation where music, storytelling, heartbreak, humour, and human connection all pull up a chair. David's album Broken Heart in a Honky Tonk brings the spirit of the classic roadhouse into modern Americana, drawing from the Bakersfield tradition while creating something distinctly his own. Through upbeat shuffles, introspective songs, flawed characters, and carefully crafted lyrics, David explores people searching for connection while trying to make sense of the situations they've sometimes created themselves. His career has taken him to the Stagecoach Music Festival twice and onto stages alongside artists including Willie Nelson, Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris, Kris Kristofferson, Wanda Jackson, Neko Case, Robert Earl Keen, and many others. Yet underneath the accomplishments is a storyteller who describes himself simply as curious. His favorite color is blue. He comes from Southern California and lives in Long Beach. His T-E-E carries a message particularly meaningful for today's world:Seeking Common Ground.And his story can be summed up in three honest words:Trying. Failing. Learning. Grab your cup as Miss Liz and David dig into the stories behind the songs, the beauty of imperfect people, and why sometimes a honky tonk is about much more than music. Welcome everyone to Teatime with Miss Liz, where we don't just talk about what someone has accomplished—we dig into the experiences, mistakes, lessons, and stories behind it. Tonight we're heading somewhere a little different. Picture a gravel parking lot, a glowing jukebox, a live band, strangers sharing a room, and somebody walking through the door carrying a broken heart. My guest tonight knows how to turn that world into a song. Please welcome David Serby, Southern California country artist, songwriter, and storyteller behind Broken Heart in a Honky Tonk. David has spent years creating songs about real people—the complicated, imperfect kind who try, fail, learn, love, lose, and somehow keep going. He's performed at Stagecoach twice and shared stages with some legendary names in American music, but tonight we're going beyond the stage. David describes himself as curious, and his T-E-E is Seeking Common Ground. His three words tell us exactly where tonight's conversation may take us: Trying. Failing. Learning. David, welcome to Teatime with Miss Liz. Grab your cup, and let's dig deep. Closing: Tonight wasn't simply a conversation about country music. It was about the people inside the songs. The ones who make mistakes. The ones nursing broken hearts. The ones searching for connection. And the ones who keep trying even after they've failed. David's story reminds us that failure doesn't have to be the final verse. Sometimes it's simply where the learning begins. And perhaps that's where his message of seeking common ground becomes especially important. We may come from different places, believe different things, and live very different lives—but heartbreak, hope, mistakes, laughter, music, and the desire to belong give us more common ground than we sometimes realize. Thank you, David, for bringing your music, curiosity, and stories to the table. David Serby is a Southern California country artist and songwriter whose music blends Bakersfield traditions with modern Americana. A two-time Stagecoach performer, he creates thoughtful songs about flawed, relatable people searching for connection. His album Broken Heart in a Honky Tonk celebrates storytelling, common ground, and life's imperfect journey.#TeatimeWithMissLiz#DavidSerby#BrokenHeartInAHonkyTonk#CountryMusic #SeekingCommonGround
When you are the one who shows up in the darkest moments, physically or virtually present in a time of genuine crisis, you have an opportunity to steward God's light into a story that desperately needs it. That kind of presence is both a gift and a responsibility, and knowing how to offer it well matters enormously. Jesus models this beautifully in the moments before the resurrection of Lazarus. He already knew what was about to happen, and yet He did not rush past the grief around Him to get to the miracle. When He saw Mary weeping, He wept with her. When He encountered Martha, He met her differently — offering conviction, truth, and firm footing, reminding her of exactly who He is. The same tragedy, two very different women, two very different responses. Jesus read the person in front of Him and responded in the language of her individual spirit. Mary needed someone to cry with her. Martha needed someone to anchor her in truth. Both were acts of profound love. Romans 12:15 distills this principle to its simplest form: mourn with those who mourn. When we come alongside someone who is broken, the Holy Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead lives within us and is ready to guide us in exactly how to show up. We do not have to have the right words. We simply have to be willing to be used. Today's Bible Verse "Mourn with those who mourn."— Romans 12:15, NIV Ponder Today Presence matters more than perfect words. Jesus wept before He spoke. Sometimes the most powerful thing we can offer someone in grief is simply our willingness to show up and stay — without an agenda, without a solution, without rushing past the pain. Different people need different kinds of comfort. Mary needed someone to cry with her. Martha needed truth and conviction to stand on. Reading the person in front of you and responding in the language of their spirit is one of the most loving things you can do. The Holy Spirit guides us when we do not know how to help. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in every believer. When you feel unsure of what to say or do for someone who is hurting, ask Him to use you as a vessel and trust that He will. A Prayer for You Today Father God, what a holy and set-apart opportunity You have entrusted to us in loving someone who is beset with grief. We ask not only for Your peace to be poured upon the person who is aching, but we implore You to use us as Your mouthpiece in this delicate situation. Let us be used in this time for Your purpose and plan, and give us the wisdom of what to say, what to do, and how to show up for the person who is hurting. We thank You that You are ever present, ever loving, and ever mindful of each of us, just as You were for Mary and Martha outside Lazarus's tomb. May we glorify You in this process and place. In Jesus' holy name, Amen. Want More? Sign up for our free newsletter, The Good Word, for weekly biblical wisdom and encouragement delivered right to your inbox.

Heaviness does not mean God has forsaken us. Mourning over failure does not mean our hope is gone. A life reduced to ashes does not mean we can't have God's joy and peace. A broken heart does not mean that the immense liberty of heaven's favor is not for us. The stone in your chest isn't disqualifying you. It's the very thing He said He came to heal.

Let me be your breakup buddy! Schedule a free 1:1 session with me here. Sometimes we stay stuck after a breakup because we find ourselves full of regret over everything that happened. The source of that regret is that we are remembering and ruminating the good times and the good qualities of our ex over the bad. This is a normal and natural thing to do. But it does not mean that the breakup was a mistake. It does not mean that you should break no-contact with this person. It means that you are a human with a great capacity to love. Getting over this hurdle will allow you to move to the next phase of the healing journey. So today I am sharing FOUR ways to stop idealizing your ex so that you can RECLAIM your life and move on. I share: -The importance of intentionally moving on from this stage of the healing journey. -Putting your thoughts back in context. -Missing is a choice - reaching out to someone is a decision. -Developing habits that will support your healing. -The importance of preparing to make space for grief. ❓Want to learn about my breakup or secure attachment coaching?

The idea of a broken heart may make you think of a cartoon, an emoji or a bad break-up from your past. But broken heart syndrome is a real physical condition, which is also known as Tako-tsubo. Good guess but just wide of the mark. Tako-tsubo syndrome was described for the first time in Japan, at the start of the 1990s. Researchers in the western world didn't acknowledge the condition until several years later, towards the end of the decade. The name is Japanese because that's where the first case was recorded?

Sunday Morning Message - "Broken Heart and Bold Prayers"In this message from August 16, Pastor Kyle kicks off a brand-new series through the book of Nehemiah with a powerful message titled “Broken Heart and Bold Prayers.” In Nehemiah 1, we see Nehemiah receive heartbreaking news about the condition of Jerusalem and God's people—the walls were broken down and the people were living in disgrace. His response was not to ignore the problem, but to weep, fast, mourn, and turn to God in prayer. Nehemiah's broken heart led him to bold prayers, confessing sin, remembering God's promises, and asking God to give him favor and an opportunity to make a difference. Come discover how God can use a heart that is broken over what breaks His heart—and a believer who is willing to pray boldly and trust Him to act.

Before we ever turned the coffee cup over, we found ourselves laughing hysterically about everything from losing contact lenses inside your eye for a month to plastic surgery, aging gracefully, skinny jeans, fashion disasters, and why reading glasses suddenly become accessories instead of necessities. Somehow we also managed to debate the ideal size of certain male anatomy, revisit Frank's terrifying experience on Snake, and wonder whether surviving thousands of hissing cockroaches deserves lifetime therapy. As always, nothing is off limits. We also dive into Frank's exciting new chapter. After years spent making other people look beautiful behind the scenes as a celebrity makeup artist, he's finally stepping into the spotlight himself. From modeling during Brooklyn Fashion Week to discovering a confidence he's never truly felt before, Frank opens up about embracing the person he was always meant to become instead of the character everyone else expected him to play. That naturally leads us into one of the most honest conversations we've ever had about identity, self-worth, heartbreak, and learning to stop letting other people write your story. We talk about why reinvention isn't changing who you are—it's finally allowing the real you to show up. Then comes the moment everyone waits for... The Armenian Coffee Reading. The instant we looked inside Frank's cup, we knew this wasn't going to be an ordinary reading. The coffee revealed emotions far deeper than either of us expected. A broken heart that hasn't completely healed. Someone from the past whose energy is still present. The difference between what we need and what we simply want. A powerful exercise involving seven days of handwritten reflections that could completely change the direction of Frank's life. As the symbols continued appearing inside the cup—including an unmistakable facial profile—we watched Frank become visibly emotional as nearly every message resonated with experiences he had never shared publicly. The reading wasn't about predicting the future. It was about finally understanding the past. We also discuss why focusing on career and purpose may be exactly what unlocks the next chapter of his life, how creativity becomes part of healing, and why the greatest love story sometimes begins by choosing yourself first. Of course, because it's UNDRESSED, the emotional moments are constantly interrupted by our completely inappropriate jokes, outrageous one-liners, fashion commentary, SnowWhite90210 sleeping through the entire reading, and enough adult humor to make your grandmother blush. This episode proves exactly why Armenian coffee readings continue to fascinate us. Sometimes the coffee doesn't tell you what you want to hear—it tells you exactly what your soul needs to hear. Grab your favorite cup of coffee because this is one of the most heartfelt, funniest, and unexpectedly emotional episodes we've shared.

There's nothing more precious than a broken heart
Some breakups come after a long period of unhappiness in the relationship. Other times, they seem to come out of nowhere. The latter is becoming more common with “blindside divorces” on the rise. That's what VICE writer Ashley Fike and I are chatting about today. Ashley and I talk about the many dynamics of a breakup that seems sudden, from all angles including the perspective of the one ending things. AND we give powerful, practical guidance for anyone struggling with a sudden breakup. We discuss:

Empowered Relationship Podcast: Your Relationship Resource And Guide
Are you bringing home more than just your briefcase at the end of a long workday? For many, the hidden toll of workplace stress doesn't stay behind at the office—it seeps into our most intimate relationships, silently undermining connection, emotional safety, and even physical closeness. It's a problem so common and subtle that many don't realize work is affecting their love life until the damage is already done. In this episode, listeners are invited to uncover the overlooked ways that work stress spills over into the home, affecting both partners' emotional well-being and the overall health of their relationship. The conversation explores how chronic pressure at work can disrupt intimacy, communication, and even one's sex drive, while providing practical strategies and ritual ideas to help couples reclaim their connection. Through actionable tips on communication, intentional transitions, and building emotional resilience, this episode offers a roadmap for transforming work-induced disconnect into renewed connection and support. Dr. Guy Winch is an internationally renowned psychologist and bestselling author who advocates for integrating the science of emotional health into our daily lives. His 3 TED Talks have garnered over 35 million views, and his science-based self-help books have been translated into 30 languages: Emotional First Aid, How to Fix a Broken Heart, and The Squeaky Wheel. His newest book is Mind Over Grind: How to Break Free When Work Hijacks Your Life (Simon & Schuster). Episode Highlights 05:52 How work stress and burnout manifest in relationships. 09:40 The emotional ripple effect: How one partner's stress impacts the other. 12:13 Negative cycles: Perceptions, attachment, and relational downward spirals. 14:55 Naming stress and practical communication tools. 18:39 Micro-expressions, tone, and the subtle cues we send. 20:32 Regression under stress and the impact on coping skills. 24:22 The power of ritual: Transitioning from work life to home life. 27:59 Engaging the senses: Tools and traditions for mindset shifts. 31:16 Intentionality, agency, and the value of compartmentalization. 33:50 Boundaries around work talk and rekindling couple connection. 38:45 Empathy, understanding bids for connection, and reframing relationship challenges. Your Checklist of Actions to Take Establish a Daily Transition Ritual: Create a routine that signals the shift from work to home life, such as listening to calming music, changing clothes, or lighting a specific candle to help your brain shift gears. Name Your Emotional State: Verbally acknowledge your mood or stress level to your partner when you arrive home, reducing uncertainty and fostering understanding. Communicate Your Needs: Clearly state if you need time to decompress before interacting, setting expectations, and providing your partner with context. Use Venting and Problem-Solving Time: Divide post-work conversations into venting and solution-focused segments, aiming to wrap up with action steps or reframing to avoid lingering stress. Compartmentalize Work Worries: Write down concerns and physically or psychologically "put them away," or schedule "worry time" later, allowing you to be more present at home. Limit Work Talk Boundaries: Set aside a defined period to talk about your day with your partner, then intentionally shift focus to non-work connection and relaxation. Foster Quick Emotional Connection: Engage in brief but meaningful actions such as holding hands, reminiscing over old photos, or talking about a shared show to nurture emotional intimacy even when tired. Practice Mutual Empathy: Intentionally try to imagine your partner's day and emotional needs, using empathy as a tool to bridge gaps and prevent misinterpretations caused by stress or depletion.

As Jim's battle with cancer came to an end, his family noticed something they couldn't explain. Their twelve-year-old dog, Ginger, seemed to be declining alongside him. She had less energy, stopped eating as much, and no longer acted like the dog they had always known.At first, it seemed like nothing more than old age.Then, in the middle of the night, Ginger suddenly woke Jim's wife from a sound sleep with anxious pacing and quiet whines. Just minutes later, the hospital called to say Jim had passed away. The timing was impossible to ignore.Was it simply an incredible coincidence? Or can the animals we love sense something we'll never fully understand? For one family, that question was only the beginning.#RealGhostStory #DogsKnow #PetIntuition #SignsFromBeyond #PetAfterlife #ParanormalExperience #UnexplainedExperience #MessagesFromBeyond #ThingsThatCantBeExplained #RealParanormalLove real ghost stories?

Heartbreak comes in many forms.Sometimes it's the pain of losing someone you love. Sometimes it's betrayal, disappointment, unanswered prayers, or the weight of life itself. And sometimes, if we're honest, we've broken our own hearts through the choices we've made.So where is God in the middle of all of it?In this Bible study, we're walking through one of my favorite promises in Scripture:"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." (Psalm 34:18)Together we'll look at the lives of Joseph, Naomi, Ruth, and the woman at the well to discover how God's presence, redemption, and restoration show up in the middle of heartbreak.If you've been carrying grief, disappointment, betrayal, or simply feel weary, my prayer is that this study reminds you that your story isn't over. The same God who was near to them is still near to you.His Word isn't just something we read.It's living, active, and still changing lives today. This study explores how Psalm 34:18 comes to life through the stories of Joseph, Naomi, Ruth, and the woman at the well, showing God's faithfulness to the brokenhearted.

Bryan carried the sadness. That was his decision. Not the devastation, not the incapacitation, but the sadness. A conscious, daily choice to let his broken heart stay open rather than rebuild the walls around it. And in doing so, he discovered something he did not expect. The broken heart made him better. Noah was Bryan's son, born in 1987, a boy of rare and tender empathy who greeted his father every morning before work and asked, at ten years old, to attend the funeral of a classmate's father because he already knew, somehow, how to be present in someone else's pain. He grew into a young man full of promise, studying finance and Chinese, warm and funny and deeply loved. And then, quietly, the opioid crisis found him. He once told his father that the first time he took one of those drugs, it was the first time in his life he had ever felt completely free of anxiety. What followed were years of loving a child through addiction. Rehab. Sobriety. Relapse. Bryan eventually had to fire his own son from the company he ran. He and his wife told Noah they could no longer pay his rent, that they would support his recovery but not his destruction. Noah understood. He said a friend would drive him to rehab. The call from rehab never came. Bryan had the police do a welfare check. Noah was gone. In the years since, Bryan made a choice. He would not rebuild what grief had torn down. He would stay open, stay soft, stay reachable by other people's suffering. Because he had come to understand that as long as we tell ourselves we are safe, as long as we build the little narratives that say the worst cannot happen to us, we create invisible walls between ourselves and everyone around us who is hurting. Grief demolished those walls. And in their rubble, something beautiful grew. One evening, Bryan and his wife Carolyn walked together and reached the familiar dead end of the why. And one of them said, simply, oh well. And they both laughed. Not because anything was less sad. But because releasing the need for an answer brought such relief that joy slipped in uninvited, right through the broken places. Joy and sorrow are not opposites. The broken heart that stays open is the one that feels everything more deeply. Carrying deep sadness, Bryan says, is a condition for me being as compassionate a person as I can be. Bryan's book, The Gift of a Broken Heart, is available wherever books are sold and at thegiftofabrokenheart.com.
In the final chapter of Tu Lam's story, the walls come down completely. Part 3 opens where the inner war is still raging — fame, an imposter's burden, and a broken heart that Eastern philosophy and psychedelics couldn't fully fix. What follows is Tu's account of the moment he finally surrendered to Jesus Christ, how three years of daily Bible study rewired his understanding of sin, sacrifice, and purpose, and what it now means to walk as a disciple in the tactical and law enforcement world he built his name in. Host Mike Ritland and Tu also go deep on marriage in special operations, the global consequences of the Iraq War, the trap of media consumption, and what Tu carries every day — on his hip and in his heart.
