What if the "off" feeling in your life is data, not failure? Luke Gordon sits down with Dr. Russell A. Pointer Jr., a pastor and public theologian (D.Min, MTS, MS), to talk about alignment with yourself, others, and the divine. Russell shares his own story of betrayal, patriarchy, and entitlement, and how learning to listen changed his marriage and his life.
What you'll learn:
Why being out of alignment is a check engine light, not a failure
How grace and accountability work together
Why building a pattern matters more than one good decision
Beyond the Facade is produced in partnership with Choose Recovery Services and Blueprint Institute.
