If you have teenagers like I do, or have kids that will become teenagers, or are considering having kids that will become teenagers, or even know anyone with a teenager… …you've probably thought about kids and substance abuse. Of course, all parents want to give their kids the best possible resources and support to prevent problems with drugs and alcohol. But what does that look like? Is it teaching moderation or prohibiting substances before the legal age? How much does genetics play into it? T...

Earlier this summer, as you probably heard if you've been following me, I declared that plant medicines were a "big problem"... …and that after a great deal of study, contemplation, and prayer, I decided to put up some big ol' warning signs against the use of mind-altering substances, especially considering their widespread abuse and potential for psychological harm, but perhaps of more concern, the increasing trend to put one's faith for healing, trauma, relationship work, self-discovery, divin...

Back in June of this year, I made one of the most important decisions of my life. I announced, after much contemplation and prayer, to stop using plant medicines. In a comprehensive two-part article series that provoked a wide range of responses, I detailed my reasoning for reaching this conclusion (you can read Part 1 here and Part 2 here ). And while I've returned to reiterate this decision here and there since June, I have not yet - until now - devoted an entire podcast to the subject. Today ...
