Being an outsider can be challenging – but it can also be your absolute superpower!We all come into the world as a blank slate with the opportunity to form and grow organically. Taking in the world as you find it before being tethered to a rigid or strongly defined set of predetermined beliefs set for you by others.John Morris started out that way too, but unlike most people, he never took on the opinions of others. He began questioning fear-based systems, trusting inner knowing, and seeing the world through a wildly different lens than most. This approach has given him a unique ability to use a few simple tools to reinvent himself every time he finds the world not to his liking and decides he can have better and do better.Growing up, while his mom chased the current popular thing, his dad didn't really instill a structured set of beliefs – his motto was “as you see it, as you get it”. Not only that, but he was isolated as a child, which had the silver lining of sparing him from having his beliefs molded by others in a hundred silent ways. When he was a teenager, there was a big part of him that knew he was different, knew he didn't process the world in the way that other people did.John's grandmother instilled in him his strong religious beliefs, which contrary to some of the stories you've heard from others on our show, weren't constricting to him at all. After 15 years as a youth minister and 20 years as an evangelist, he left the church because of what he saw as scaremongering and politics.But John came to understand that Fine is a 4-Letter Word because of how the word “fine” was an acronym commonly used in his youth ministry: “feeling inadequate, needing encouragement” – and how this version of “fine” can be brought about by pressure to conform and not speak of anything others don't want to hear. I love this!You're about to meet a man currently in a profound state of metamorphosis. In addition to being a preacher, he has also built up an international reputation as an artist – something that he may be limited doing in the future due to a recent onset of dyspraxia. So with the additional ailments of amaurosis (which affects vision) and dyslexia (which affects the ability to read), what is John doing? He's on his way to becoming an acclaimed author and is working with some of the biggest publishing houses and powerhouse editors to make it happen. In just the past couple years, he's written 25 complete novels, of which there are only two original manuscripts. He has one and His Majesty the King has the other.All of this is possible due to a few simple understandings and ways of being, which we'll circle back to after we chat with John.John's hype song is "Art From The Heart" by John Morris.Resources:John Morris' website: https://thejohnmorris.co.uk/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/johnmorrisartfromtheheart/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/johnmorrisartfromtheheart/During the episode, we discussed Wayne Dyer's “Everyday Wisdom” recording – watch it on YouTube or download the audio.Claim your 10% off your first 3 mental health sessions with John Morris - limited to the first 10 persons who mention his appearance on our show, “Fine is a 4-Letter Word”, by...

Everyday Wisdom for Families  Kellie Ann Peterson pt 2 There is no doubt that evil exists in this world. We are made aware of it almost every single night on the evening news. But the fact remains, the news headlines do not tell all of the story. There are people, individuals, that are behind every story. Often, these people, these individuals, face these demons alone for a very long time. When deliverance finally comes, they are often scarred and broken, spirit, soul AND body. They may go YEARS without counseling, figuring “nobody understands them or what they have been through.” Our guest today is Pastor Kellie Ann Peterson. Kellie is a pastoral counselor who trains other church leaders to bring emotional healing to their congregations. She also does one on one counseling for those in need. She is the author of a book titled, “Wounded Heart, Graceful Warrior: A Journey from Abuse to Victory.” She is the founder of “Everyday Wisdom For Families” and you can obtain information on these services at www.everydaywisdom4families.com using the number “4” in place of “for.” Amen. Today is part two and the conclusion of our interview with Kellie Ann Peterson... Something else happened as well – or I should say, “almost happened.” Can you share with us how the Lord used you to protect your husband from certain death? I know this is a process, but how has things been going since you became a Christian? So, you really had your start, sort of in the “divine intervention” aspect of prayer and ministry? When did the Lord transition you from Divine Intervention towards Divine Healing type of ministry? Tell us about your book, “Wounded Heart, Graceful Warrior: A Journey from Abuse to Victory” all about? Tell us about your website, Everyday Wisdom for Families… Kellie Ann, this has been so interesting and the work you are doing is so needful in this day and time. If someone wanted more information, to ask a question or possibly, they may want to do an interview with you such as this. How can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you? How can someone order a copy of your book, “Wounded Heart, Graceful Warrior: A Journey from Abuse to Victory?” I'll put links to all of this down in the show notes below. Folks, emotional, verbal and physical abuse is real. It impacts every person differently, but affects every victim totally. Many do not know where to turn or who to trust. If you or someone you care about is experiencing this type of abuse, I urge you to get help – immediately – before it gets worse. And reach out to someone who can give you guidance, Godly guidance, such as Kellie Ann Peterson. Reach out to her by clicking the links down below. Sign up for her services.
