THE PEGLEG PODCAST: Parables for the Soul Greg Marshall

I was in the front yard of a friend's house watching my daughters play with some neighborhood friends.  Suddenly I heard teenagers yelling  a couple houses away. What happened next was both scary and inspiring. 
Sometimes we hit moments of discomfort and fear, and our instinct is to leave. But what if those moments, those feelings that seem to be telling us to disconnect are actually a clue about how (and where) to become the people we've always wanted to be. 

A couple stories about letting people down and how their responses to my mistakes shaped the future. Plus one of my favorite stories about Jesus and shame. This episode covers mistakes, failure, shame, mercy, and grace.  

It takes courage to seek out relationships that help us grow and evolve. It is life-changing to truly be known and to know others who help us see ourselves more clearly. So what keeps us from doing that? What keeps us from seeking out and spending time with people who can help us grow and evolve? And why is it worth it? 

A strange prompt to talk to a stranger in the park. A feeling that I need to encourage a bartender. Is that God nudging me or something else? In this episode I share two stories that remind us of all the invisible things that are happening. There's mystery there. And so much potential. 

I talked to Brian Anderson about his experience as TNT's play by play announcer the night Lebron James broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's all-time scoring record. 
This episode is that conversation. 

This is a story about me meeting me in the woods, and how that encounter changed the way I see pretty much everything, including work and parenting. I also share some theological thoughts and some practical ideas, plus one really important question.
