David Blackburn is founder of the Nothing Is Wasted ministry that has a weekly national podcast. His ministry was birthed out of a devasting event \u2013 the death of his wife. David called me and expressed his appreciation for my book, The Upside of Adversity: From the pit to greatness. \u201cIt got me through a very difficult time,\u201d said David. \u201cThank you for writing it.\u201d\n\nDavid and I visited over the phone. He asked me to be a guest on his weekly podcast. In this podcast he asks me questions no other podcaster has asked before. Some of the topics we discuss are\n\nHow I navigated failure in business and marriage.\nHow I dealt shame from failure.\nWhy pain is a common denominator in life.\nHow adversity often ushers us into the larger story of our life.\nWhy mentors are important to navigating difficult seasons in life. \nHow God sees our adversity.\nWhy knowing the truth about our circumstances is key to freedom in Christ. \nThe key to overcoming strongholds in our lives.\nAvoiding perceptions of disqualification for use by God.
