In this powerful conversation, Ben and Roane unpack the difference between meaning and significance—why knowing what something means isn’t the same as understanding why it matters. From the “performance trap” and approval addiction to the quiet war with shame, the guys explore how misplaced significance keeps us stuck—and how Christ reframes our worth completely. With stories from recovery, practical emotional tools, and a raw look at how God gives meaning to our pain, this episode is a masterclass in honest faith and healing. 🎧 Topics include: • The danger of chasing approval • How shame hijacks identity • Finding significance beyond performance • Emotional regulation and mindfulness in recovery • Why God calls you significant—no matter your past If you’ve ever felt unseen, unworthy, or stuck in performance mode, this episode is for you. #FaithRecovery #ChristianPodcast #MensHealing #SpiritualGrowth #EmotionalHealth #OvercomingShame #TrueSignificance #FaithAndMentalHealth #AddictionRecovery #AuthenticFaith #GraceOverGuilt #HealingJourney #PurposeDrivenLife #ChristianMen #TransparencyInFaith #FaithBasedRecovery #MeaningAndSignificance #InnerHealing #JesusCenteredRecovery #VulnerabilityWins
