What if we told you... you might be slowly losing your soul -without you even knowing it?
Friends, we have something truly special for you today.
We're sitting down with one of the most authentic, down-to-earth, humble and wise people we know—Alan George, leadership and strategic coach and former Church Online Pastor of 10 years at Life.Church (the church that created that YouVersion Bible App)—to dive into his personal reflections and lessons from his spiritual formation journey.

Alan shares vulnerable struggles, testimonies, and lessons learned about how his upbringing and experiences led him to discover the importance of spiritual formation and taking care of your soul—which goes way beyond just leadership skills and habit formation.

Practically, we also talk about practices and mindset shifts that can help you cultivate a deep and authentic connection with Jesus and tend to your soul, even in the midst of life's busyness and distractions.
Trust us... this is a conversation filled with golden wisdom nuggets that you do NOT wanna miss.
