In this episode, Dave shares more about his spiritual journey. Leveraging the metaphor of Kintsugi, he shares about how it was the seasons and moments of brokenness that allowed for a deeper peace and equanimity to prevail. Life hardships like family rifts, substance abuse, mental health, dating/relationships, theological shifts, church drama, and felt rejection all served as experiential breaking points, ultimately leading to a heighted awareness of and access to the impenetrable and ineffable peace, available to us all.
