Summary

In this week's episode of Cultural Catalysts, Kris sits down with Christopher Cook, author of "Healing What You Can't Erase," for a powerful conversation about navigating grief and finding wholeness. Christopher vulnerably shares his journey through profound loss including his mother's death after an 18-year battle with cancer and his own MS diagnosis. Rather than experiencing instant breakthrough, Christopher discovered the transformative power of "walkthrough", the daily process of healing that comes through surrender rather than striving. Together, they explore how leaders can effectively support others in pain without rushing the process, and why sometimes the most powerful response is simply presence. Christopher offers profound wisdom for anyone facing what feels unforgettable: "Healing doesn't erase the past, but it will rewrite your future." Join this authentic conversation that balances mystery with hope, and discover how transformation doesn't happen in one day, but happens daily.

1:13.2	through the years, and I reflect on it too as a personal testimony. And that's that the greatness
1:18.8	of our Lord is amazing. But what surprises me the most is how he's willing to just get so small
1:24.0	and invade my little world. And that's been such a cool testimony. And so, yeah, I've
1:29.9	loved the Lord my whole life. I've been serving him actually as of next month. It'll be 25 years
