Where do you place your worth? Is your identity wrapped up in failure or success, in what others think, or self-imposed pressure? Today’s episode with Dr. Ryan Hanning is a wonderful reminder that you’re not a human doing but a human being. You have inherent dignity and worth. In a culture dominated by ideals of efficiency, pleasure, and pragmatism, you must remember that the art of being human is less about what you do and more about who you are. Invite Ryan to speak on this topic at an upcoming event by visiting http://ryanhanning.com. Then engage in some true leisure by following Love Good's recently updated Spotify playlists at http://lovegoodculture.com/spotify.

Dr. Ryan Hanning is back, this time not as a guest but as a regular contributor. For those who missed him in season two, he's a husband to one, father to nine, brilliant scholar, and humble homesteader.
