Shawn Johnson, KISS THE FIRE: 7 Ways to Get Back Up When You Want to Give Up

Pastor Shawn Johnson joins Zibby to discuss his powerful new book, KISS THE FIRE: 7 Ways to get Back Up When You Want to Give Up. Shawn opens up about his diagnosis with an incurable brain disease, his lifelong struggles with anxiety and depression, and how faith and vulnerability helped him find purpose in pain. He and Zibby also discuss how vulnerability creates connection, why sharing our struggles can be freeing, and how even in life’s darkest moments, hope and purpose can emerge.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3XCtW8EShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Want more?
