Okay you guys… this episode was SO GOOD. 🥹
I sat down with Craig Groeschel — pastor of Life.Church and author of Heal Your Hurting Mind.
We talked about:
How to actually make your marriage last 35 years
Why you should prioritize your marriage over your kids
The behind-the-scenes safeguards he’s put in place to protect his integrity
What anxiety looked like for him as a pastor
Social media boundaries (this one hit me hard)
And why struggling with mental health is NOT a sin
I loved how honest he was about going through anxiety in 2019 — even while leading 45 campuses. It reminded me that no one is immune, and asking for help is wisdom, not weakness.
This episode felt like a masterclass in safeguards, sanctification, and self-awareness. And I’m honestly so grateful for leaders like Craig who are willing to be vulnerable.
