This week is a big one and the timing couldn’t be better for this episode on getting your SOUL RIGHT. Yes, my new book “Get Your MIND Right” comes out tomorrow. But this episode is much needed. There are protests, looting, violence, we’re in the midst of a pandemic, and we clearly need some divine intervention. Little did I know when I recorded this episode that it would be aired at such a crucial time.
Today’s episode is with one of my longest-standing spiritual mentors and closest friends, Pastor Miles McPherson of the Rock Church in San Diego, Ca. Miles McPherson is a former NFL player, he overcame a cocaine addiction, and his testimony has since led over 1.8 million people to Christ. He also has a book called “The Third Option–Hope for a Racially Divided Nation.” Between his “The Third Option” book and the “Get Your Mind Right” book, I can’t think of 2 better books to get your MIND and your SOUL right NOW.
I’ve known Miles for over 22-years now and he’s greatly impacted my faith walk since I started listening to him preach way back in 1998. In this episode, Pastor Miles talks about…
- His transformation from using drugs to surrendering his life to Jesus.
- What is the “Third Option?”
- His 6-step process to Get His Mind Right.
- His 3-step process to Get his Soul Right.
- FEAR and what we can do about it.
Bottom line is that you will be better after listening to this episode. Pastor Miles shares what is on his heart these days and his mission to raise the next generation. Lastly, he shares a special prayer at the end of the episode to solidify that both our minds and souls are singing. Regardless of your faith or beliefs, you don’t want to miss this episode. Buckle-up for a great episode full of fun, laughter, deep conversation, and even some smack-talking. It’s guaranteed to get your heart, mind, and soul soaring!!
