Within every human being is the desire to BECOME MORE - the desire to become who God created us to be. Within each of us is also a PIT - a dark place of past experiences where fear, anger, blame, guilt, and shame live. As we strive to become, eventually we encounter the edge of our pit and we experience a feeling of bondage, of being held back, of being STUCK. At this point we have a choice to either retreat and accept an ordinary, cyclical existence, or to face our pit, walk into it, break the prison bars of the past, and advance into an extraordinary existence of growth and purpose. Through numerous transformational experiences in my life, I have pieced together a FORMULA for walking through the pit - turning on the LIGHT in the DARKNESS and LIBERATING myself from PRISON into POWER and PURPOSE. The formula works because it is aligned with UNIVERSAL principles and TRUTHS, and I have proven it hundreds of times in my own life and in the lives of those I have led to liberate themselves through the same process. This podcast will focus on the journey of the "PITWALKER" - the formula, process, and experience of walking through the pit to become the person God created us to be.

    IN THE BEGINNING... | 01

    Have you ever felt stuck in your life? Have you ever seen a greater version of yourself that you know you are destined to become, yet find yourself in an endless loop of old patterns and ways of operating?   If so, you are encountering what I call the "PIT" - the dark place of our past experiences that holds us back.   As I encountered my pit in my early 30's, filled with anger and resentment from the past that led to deep depression and darkness, I eventually found that my pit was rooted in my fear of abandonment and my need to feel safe and loved.   This need drove me to achieve success throughout my life, but ultimately began to destroy me and my family, and so I made a choice to face my pit and walk into it. And what I found, as I turned on the light in my own darkness, was liberation and transformation, and the tools that have now become the foundation of the PITWALKER FORMULA.   THERE IS A DESTINATION ON THE OTHER SIDE OF YOUR PIT, AND THAT DESTINATION IS YOU.   I welcome you to the beginning of this journey with me where we together will explore the formula, process, tools, and experiences of walking through our pits to become the people God created us to be.

    Defining The Pit | 02

    What is the PIT?   As we begin this journey it's important to define what I mean when I use this term.   I remember one night about 12 years ago lying in my bed staring at the ceiling and feeling the acid of my anger burning in my stomach. In that moment I knew that if I did not fix what was eating me up inside, I would have cancer in 5-10 years.   As I began the descent into my darkness to try to find some healing and relief, I started to see that all my CURRENT TRIGGERS were TIED to my PAST EXPERIENCES, in particular the experiences that contained negative feelings.   These negative feelings from past experiences - feelings of anger, blame, guilt, shame, and fear - ultimately lead to a set of self-limiting beliefs and a lens through which we see the world. This is our PIT.   Find a journal for this journey and begin to name what is in your pit. Start with the things in your life that trigger you today - write them down and describe how they make you feel.

    Getting DIRTY to Get UNSTUCK | 03

    We all want to become more (if you don't, you're listening to the wrong podcast).   The question is, are we WILLING to face our PIT to become a greater version of ourselves?   In this episode you'll hear all about my near catastrophe with my brand new RV, and how I had to get dirty to get unstuck.   At the end of the day, nothing of value comes easily - it just doesn't. We must find the WILL within us to do whatever it takes to break ourselves free, or we will continue to remain in the prison of our pit.

    The Caverns of Our Pit | 04

    I recently had an experience that triggered my worst fear - being buried alive. As my nightmare unfolded, every fiber of my being wanted to run away, but my heart told me to stay. In that moment I chose to submit to my heart, and what I found was light in the darkness that liberated me from a particular bondage that went all the way back to my birth experience.   The pit is not a one time experience or a giant crater in our soul. The pit is something we experience over and over again and it has many caverns and tentacles that go deep inside us, some deeper than others.   We need NOT go looking to dig up each cavern of our pit to try to turn the light on and clean it out. We simply need to be clear on exactly who we are striving to become at this stage of our journey. As we walk the path up the mountain to become that person, we will most certainly encounter the specific cavern(s) of our pit that we must be liberated from in order to reach our destination.   Who are you targeting becoming? What does that next version of you look like?   What is in the way right now of you becoming that person?   How deep is that particular cavern of your pit?

    NAMING the SH*T FESTERING in our PIT | 05

    What's eating at you inside? What's causing you to sedate - to numb out drinking, watching, binging, working etc.?   The answers to these questions are the entrance to your pit.   Some of the things that trouble us are more recent. Others go way back and have been FESTERING inside of us for decades. And others are so deeply buried within us that our conscious mind has all but forgotten them, yet they lurk in the dark recesses of our subconscious.   These unnamed things within us either lead to destructive behaviors or slowly erode our well being and sense of who we are as a person.   On the journey to becoming a better version of ourselves, the first step into the pit is to FACE THE DARKNESS within and begin the process of NAMING the things in our pit.   Just the act of NAMING the specifics of the DARK THINGS we have HIDDEN inside of us - the act of TELLING THE TRUTH - begins the process of TURNING ON THE LIGHT in the DARKNESS.   Take out your journal and let's get to work…

    Identifying the Rooms in Our Pit House | 06

    It's been a hell of a week. From an auction to a broken leg to a death in the family, a perfect storm has set in around me.   In preparing to sell all our possessions for a one year RV trip, I went through every room in my house assessing what to keep and put in storage, what to take with us, and what to sell. It was a painstaking process - one that that took over 20 years to get me to the point where I was ready to do it.   Our pit is much the same. Like a house full of rooms where we've accumulated all our past experiences, at some point we come to a stage in our life where we know it is time to start purging some of the rooms of our pit.   You might not be ready to purge your whole "house", but are you ready to at least assess what's there?   What are the rooms in your pit? Give them a name. Describe the kinds of experiences in that room and how that room in your pit is affecting you today.

    Itemizing the Contents in Our Pit Rooms | 07

    The final room, the one I avoided until the last possible minute, was the dreaded tool room and the 20 years of tools and miscellaneous shit that I'd accumulated. It was overwhelming until I rolled up my sleeves and started unpacking and itemizing what was really there.   You've looked at your life and what is currently holding you back, you've named some of the shit festering inside you, and you've identified some of the rooms in your "pit house." Now it's time to start unpacking to find out what's really in there.   Pick the top 3 "rooms" in your pit house that are in the way of you becoming a version of yourself. Go into each room one at a time. What specific experiences are there? What types of current triggers are in that room? Where do those triggers come from when you trace them backward? What do you feel as you step into that particular room?   Start opening the drawers, looking in the closets, and unpacking the boxes to take inventory of what's inside the rooms of your pit.

    Telling the Truth Does NOT Set You Free | 08

    You've heard the famous verse "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free."   Well, knowing the truth and telling the truth are two very different things.   The pitwalking process involves both, but at this stage of the journey we are going to begin telling the truth. And TELLING THE TRUTH doesn't set you free, it SENDS YOU DOWN INTO THE PIT.   Remember, there is no way around the pit. The only way to become the person you are created to be is to walk through the pit.   So here's your assignment:   Find a human being - a living, breathing, walking, talking human being - and tell them what is in your pit. Pick the three most significant rooms of your pit and lay them out the contents of those rooms in specific detail.   Get ready, because after the initial catharsis of telling someone, the mind f*ck will begin.   And that's ok. By this action of telling the truth to someone, you have started the process of bringing the hidden things out of the dark into the light.   And over the coming weeks I will equip you with the tools of liberation to free yourself from the chains of darkness as we continue to unfold the formula of the pit.
