78: Spiritual Leadership: Finding Joy, Purpose, Connection, & Contentment Through Faith with Chris Grainger

In this episode of The Modern Man, I welcome the inspiring Chris Grainger, Host of The Lion Within Us podcast and humble leader of The Lion Within Us community. Chris and I are talking about spiritual leadership, being the leader you're meant to be, and trusting your faith to guide you to joy, purpose, and fulfillment.

Chris highlights the types of connections you need to feel strong and purposeful in life, the traps we commonly fall into as men how to avoid them, and what it truly means to live for your family. Plus, Chris sheds light on what he's learned and gained from losing his daughter and navigating the intense grief of losing a child.

Are you craving a sense of contentment in life? Are you ready to give purpose to your pain and find joy and fulfillment, even in life's darkest moments? Press 'play' and join us on the journey.

You don't have to be a preacher to have a mission. Stick to your faith, step courageously forward, and show up each and every day the best way you can. As long as you do that, you'll be on your way to true contentment.

"You can get very easily wrapped up in busy and feel good about yourself… and at the end of the day, you feel like you accomplished something, but I always challenge people, did you do what God called you to do today?... cause that's a different ball game." – Chris Grainger
