This is I'm your host Ryan Nidell and today's episode is darkness.

I find something to be pretty interesting

and that is the fact that society has told us, at least told me the way that I was brought up,

that you find power for yourself in the light. You find it in the good things in life.

And when I say the good things in life, the good things could be your friends. You know that when you have a problem you go to your friends, they help you.

They're supposed to be the positive influences in your life and through them helping you you'll become a better person.

Right? I mean, how many people have done that in their lives before?

I mean, my hands literally raised in the studio.

Maybe if it's not your friends, it's your family,

like go to your family, your family knows best. They're the ones that can help you.

And if it's not that, the old catch-all for everything to me is religion. Go to church. Church will help you.

The answer is inside the Bible.

Now I'm not saying that church isn't a good place and I'm not saying that your family is not good for advice and I'm not saying your social circle can't help you. That would be ignorant of me to say those things.

What I'm saying is I'm going to challenge you to expand the way that you think.

Society tells us to go race towards the light when things get uncomfortable.

Well, what if you went backwards and race directly into the dark?

What if you took time to get acquainted with the things that make you uncomfortable?

What if you tackled them head on? What would be possible for you?

See this mindset,

thought, this pattern is something that came to me

from Wake Up Warrior.

Big surprise, right?
