In this episode, we explain why excusing negative behaviors, normalizing mental illness, and lowering your standards is detrimental to your life, your family and your future.

We explore the importance of maintaining normalcy in areas such as aging, marriage, and parenting,, call out "cheap grace" and advocate for genuine repentance and ethical living.

You'll see why we believe you should fight against cultural pressures and embrace a more "normal" and positive mindset of taking responsibility for your actions.
