090: Why Surrendering isn't Giving Up with Ted Kruse

Informações:

Synopsis

Previously a pastor. I met Ted at a Rob Bell lecture/seminar. Ted is painting houses now.  Grew up in a legalist Christian background. Was a pastor for about 17 years, expresses it was both the best and worst of times.  He didn't know how to navigate depression that he'd experienced his whole life.  Lisa describes pea soup. Ted needed an escape from his life, became secretive about his sex addiction and finally confessed his actions. "A boulder on my chest that was going to kill me dead." His wife saw two choices before her, and decided to stay with him, the road that led to life, not to darkness and resentment. He was on skype with his counselor and said he wanted to leave his family. She responded, "are you a man who leaves?" - This question saved his life. "why am I?" There are moments in life where we don't know what's going to happen. Even in our darkness, there's little bits of light that shine through- Lisa "Life is a canvas that you just get to keep painting on" - Ted  Sometimes we need a huge moment
