Chuck Swindoll Jr. spent 15 years in ministry alongside his father.
He ran five days a week, ate clean, never touched sugar or soda, and he still got cancer. He calls it the most honest friend he ever had, the sledgehammer that finally cracked a bubble he didn't know he was living in.
We get into the mushroom trip that asked him what if there's no such thing as sin, the doctor who showed him the door, and why the only authority worth trusting lives inside you.
Only lies require your belief.

🖼️The art of this episode is Why do you fear what is real?
Every Phase piece #50, the Menstrual Phase, Stairway to Healing pt X. One step on the Stairway to Healing mural, watched over by the Golden Mushroom Queen, who can see the fields of gold because she has sat in the darkness. Chuck says cracking the mind nut takes years. This stairway can't be taken in one step either. It must be climbed.

ABOUT THE PODCAST
Your pain is not a design flaw.
It is your unrealized power.
And your greatest teacher.
I'm Meredith Ochoa — ANOTHER F#%ING ARTIST. After 17 years of endometriosis, surgical failures, and being told my pain was psychological, I stopped outsourcing my healing and went in. I healed myself. I turned the journey into art. And I built this show to introduce you to every expert, practice, and buried truth that helped me get there.
Face Your Shit, Heal Yourself is a movement + podcast.
We cover chronic pain, hormonal health, endometriosis, autoimmune disease, trauma, cycle syncing, functional medicine, Reiki, Ayurveda, sacred sexuality, Taoist healing, psilocybin, and everything else the mainstream medical system doesn't want on your radar.
The only way out is through. Art is how.
