In today’s episode, Stephen and I share multiple comments from men who are on the journey to pursue greater integrity. Some of these comments are:“I know what’s wrong with me – it’s me!”“I’m 75 years old and no one wants to go to lunch with me.”“All my life I’ve hidden behind God and spiritual truths, but I’m not emotionally mature.”“There is pain in recovery. It feels like hope and it sucks at the same time.”“Why do I have to change? I don’t want to.”“Growing up, no one was there for me.
