Summary

Carl sits down with Pastor, Author and Filmmaker Erwin McManus to discuss something we all struggle with: communication. Erwin's new book, "The Seven Frequencies of Communication," is a game-changer. They dive deep into what it really means to connect with people, not just talk at them. They discuss how important it is to understand your own communication style and how to recognize the different frequencies people are on.

Carl and Erwin hit on some tough topics like the state of the church, how technology is affecting our ability to communicate, and why authenticity is so crucial. Erwin even shared some of his personal journey and how he deals with negative self-talk. This episode is packed with wisdom – whether you're trying to improve your marriage, your leadership, or just your own personal growth. They also discuss how to identify communication shadows, building real connections, and how powerful words can be.
