Lifting Greatness 13.08.2021

We are getting into some DEEP philosophical stuff this segment, so all my lifters better buckle up. This week I am kicking off a segment that is a little more abstract but explores the human experience in a whole new way; it’s called lifting greatness. It was inspired by a quote from William Shakespeare that I think everyone should ponder: “Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some ach...

Lifting Persecution: What is separation of church and state? 11.06.2021

Welcome to our first episode of our lifting Persecution segment. This is a very touchy topic, but a necessary one to dive into.
