Maybe this episode can put some much-needed perspective back into your thought pattern. Check us out on Instagram and Facebook @feed_the_good_wolf_outfitters
It seems like whatever we’re facing in our lives is the most misunderstood, trying circumstance we could imagine. We find ourselves saying things like “If THIS situation were just resolved, everything else would fall into place.” Allow me to propose a scenario of compounding perspective that might help you regain your gratitude and recenter your thoughts.
If you’ve been through it, you know. If you’re currently going through it, you’re all too familiar, and you’re probably not talking about it much, but what can you DO to pull through to the other side of that seemingly impassable chasm named “depression”? My first ever guest on The Good Wolf Song is Brett Leonty, author of the soon-coming book, “Overcoming Depression.” We chat about the reality of this insidious emotion, dissect the truths AND the fallacies of depression, and give some key steps that you can actually take before you’ve even finished listening to this episode that helped each of us overcome our own battle with this faceless beast.
Make sure you’re following Brett on Instagram and Clubhouse @baleontology !
If you’re struggling with depression and it’s getting overwhelming, don’t be afraid to reach out to either of us. I’m always available, and Brett has very graciously extended that same invitation to our listeners as well. If you’d feel more comfortable talking to someone anonymous, there is help available 24/7 via phone or text at 877-273-8255.

Whether you’re a member of a church or not, have you ever wanted to get a peek behind the curtain to see what makes it tic? Specifically, what makes those uppity “Christians” feel entitled to cast judgment? Well, you’re in luck. “The Church” gets a bad name sometimes, and you know what? Sometimes, some of them actually are toxic places for us, depending on our circumstances. Today’s episode talks about why that might be and explores the phenomenon known by many long-time “church members” as “Spiritual Cannibalism.” If you’ve ever wanted a glimpse into the shadows of those big white steeples, here’s your chance.
In this episode, we review an old philosophical allegory and apply a more relatable lens.
Today, I’m sharing with you an Ethiopian riddle which will pose the question: “what two items, which fit into one pocket, can fill a room and with what do they fill it?” We’ll explore this riddle and what it can teach us, ESPECIALLY during the trying times we face. We’ll also take a glance at what Jesus had to say about the challenge I pose on each episode and why it’s so important to complete.
Happy Easter, Wolfpack! This has been an incredibly hectic time in my life and as we celebrate Resurrection Sunday today, many of us find that this year just feels completely messed up... because it is! Even the church doors are closed on Easter Sunday because of this pandemic and it can lead many of us into believing that God has put the world on autopilot and stepped away from the controls. If you’re like me and life has sucker punched you harder this year than ever before, OR if you just want to know why the title of this podcast is Aramaic, then take a listen!
The 2020 Super Bowl was a GREAT day for KC Chiefs fans. They’ll remember that game for the rest of their lives.

Watching such a dramatic turn of events unfold in front of me taught me a lot about how we perceive outcomes when known vs. unknown.
