This week, pastor and author Scott Sauls is here to talk all about how defeat shapes us, why self-esteem is bad for society, why the “you are enough” message keeps people stuck in emotional immaturity and his own battle with hypochondria. Famed researcher and writer Elisabeth Kübler-Ross said, “The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.” And that’s where we’re headed today.
