20. WM. PAUL YOUNG - “The Shack” Author on Death Row

John Chisum — Mon, 03 Oct 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Death Row inmates are among some of the most forgotten populations in our society, but not for “The Shack” author, Wm. Paul Young, and his friend, Wes Yoder. Paul and Wes have been spending a lot of time doing what Jesus said in Matthew 25, “I was in prison and you came to visit me,” spending time with a group of Jesus’ followers on Death Row in a Nashville prison.

Young, whose book “The Shack” has sold over 20 million copies and was adapted into a blockbuster movie, exudes the love of God everywhere he goes with a message of acceptance and grace for all. Receiving God’s grace in a tangible way from his wife and family after admitting to a three-year affair and facing the dark memories of childhood sexual abuse and rejection became the basis for “The Shack” that has impacted millions with a fresh look at the love and forgiveness of God for us, in spite of our own anger towards Him.

Included in this episode is a cell phone conversation with death row inmate Terry King, who shares the profound story of his conversion after reading “The Shack'' and his treasured relationships with Young and Yoder. He also tells about his profound reconciliation with a close family member of the man who lost his life at Terry’s hands thirty-nine years ago.

Show host John Chisum, Young, and long-time friend, Wes Yoder, explore how the love of Christ reaches every person on the planet regardless of their life circumstances, including being incarcerated. Wes Yoder has helped promote speakers and authors for over four decades including Wm. Paul Young, Rick Warren (The Purpose Driven Life), and many more through The Ambassador Agency.

16. DR. BEN SWEENEY - My Journey Back from Opioid Addiction

John Chisum — Mon, 08 Aug 2022 00:00:00 -0500

We’re going to be hitting on all cylinders on today’s show. Dr. Ben Sweeney is a chiropractor and purveyor of all things health and wellness through Sweeney Health Centers.

It’d be easy to look at Dr. Ben and assume that he’s just breezed his way through life with his athleticism, charming smile, and rugged good looks, but you’d be wrong. Behind the successful exterior and charm, he harbored a lot of undealt-with pain that threatened to destroy him, his practice, and those he loved.

A moment of intervention from his wife broke his trance. Ben is now four years sober from a debilitating opioid addiction broken by a 94-day in-patient treatment program in which he was isolated from his wife, family, and thriving chiropractic practice. He shares very openly in this episode about how it all started with trying just half of one little blue pill that took him down an 8-year spiral of secrecy and addiction and all while he was helping others beat their addictions and live a healthier lifestyle.

During treatment, Ben began to deal with childhood sexual trauma and other tragic memories that had kept him internally isolated despite success in business and a loving family.

Now hosting his own podcast called “Recovering Wellness,” Ben has found a true spiritual calling to help others find the recovery and sobriety they need to live a beautiful, healthy life.

Dr. Ben says, “Most people die from lifestyle degenerative conditions. We bioaccumulate the effects of poor lifestyle and it catches up with us. We can't take a pill to fix a lifestyle problem.”
