Your Future Self Will Thank You: An Interview with Drew Dyck

Have you ever asked yourself any of these questions? Why can’t I control my anger? Or stop overeating? Or wasting time online? Why can’t I seem to finish my projects or make progress in my spiritual life? Why do I fall for the same stupid temptations over and over again? Today on the podcast, Jonathan sits down with Drew Dyck to talk about self-control. Join Jonathan and Drew as they discuss why self-control is a foundational virtue, why we sometimes view self-control as restricting rather than liberating, why it’s important to understand both the science and spirituality of self-control, how habits work and how to build them, how to have self-control with our electronic devices, and much more. Drew is an acquisitions editor at Moody Publishers and a contributing editor at CTPastors.com. He’s the former managing editor at Leadership Journal. His work has appeared in numerous publications including USA Today, Huffington Post, and CNN.com. He is the author of several books including Generation Ex-Christian: Why Young Adults Are Leaving the Faith…and How to Bring Them Back, Yawning at Tigers: You Can’t Tame God, So Stop Trying, and the new book, Your Future Self Will Thank You: Secrets to Self-Control from the Bible & Brain Science.
