All physical healing is temporary. Even raising the dead is temporary... what do you think would be more important? to be physically healed of a malady or learn how to stay present." - Paul Young Join us for another powerful conversation with our friend, and the author of bestselling book, The Shack, Wm. Paul Young. Paul always brings the gold and this episode is no exception. We talk about what he calls, "future tripping" and the power of learning to stay in the grace of just one day (which is not easy to do!). He also talks about his relationship with epilepsy which has been with him for the past few years. Paul recently started his own podcast which we both absolutely LOVE. He is releasing 12-15 minute episodes twice a week. Check it out at paulyoungpodcast.com
