    Keith Hughes talks about the 4 Breaths of Life with God!

    We're sitting down with Keith Hughes to talk about his new book, "4 Breaths: Catch Your Breath, Find Your Life With These 4 Psychological & Biblical Principles" Keith's spent 35 years as a Christian mental health clinician, and he's identified four key principles that can either drain us or give us life. You know those moments when life just knocks the wind out of you? Keith's got some practical wisdom on how to catch your breath again. We'll chat about finding new perspectives when you're stuck, the real impact of forgiveness (and what happens when we don't forgive), what Christ meant by "it is finished," and how what we worship shapes who we become. It's real talk about faith and mental health without the fluff. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, searching for meaning, or just curious about blending biblical principles with psychological insights, you'll get something valuable from this conversation. Tune in to hear Keith's down-to-earth approach to finding your breath again when life leaves you gasping.
