187 - God Wants You to Become Yourself (w/ Jack Hoey)

Long-time Seacoaster, Jack Hoey, Jr. joins the podcast to discuss the valuable insight found in his new book, "Becoming Yourself: A Perspective on Christian Character." As a young adult, Jack revered his father and wanted to emulate his positive attributes. So, he approached this endeavor in a way that he metaphorically describes as "putting on a jacket" for a quick outer fix of becoming his dad. He soon realized that real heart change takes time and comes from within. In this discussion, Jack refers to the centerpiece of his book, 2 Peter 1:5-7, to describe "God's will" for everyone. He also shares why it’s healthy for faith to reach a breaking point, what it means to say "yes" to suffering, and how people can't be completely objective about another with love. Jack also brings valuable insight on reading Scripture, having a responsive heart toward others, leading a quiet life, and working for justice.  From Jack Hoey Jr: LinkIn Profile: Accomplished executive with unusual breadth of skills in finance, operations, and strategy development and implementation.
