About this listen

 In writing my new book How Truth Makes Us Free, as I worked to make clear what it means to truly be made free, I realized that there are 4 types of problems we face in life. Understanding these bring clarity to what is needed in order for us to overcome our challenges. In this part 1 of a two part series, I go over the 4 types of problems, sharing personal stories from my own life. I also explain how Jacques Lusseyran faced each of these types of problems as well. In fact, if you go back through the Mission Driven Stories on this podcast, you'll discover that every one of them also faced these 4 types of problems. The most important aspect of these 4 types of problems, though, is why they are problems for us, and how they actually bless our lives! Next week, in part 2 of the series, I'll go through 4 solutions to these 4 problems taught by M. Scott Peck and explain how my new book, The Mission Driven Life book, and the MDM Academy all play a vital role in understanding, facing, and overcoming the significant problems we face.

Scott Peck Transcript:  Today we get to do something really wonderful. I've got a two-part series for you called The Four Types of Problems and the Four Solutions. Today we get to talk about the four types of problems, and some of what I'm gonna share with you is from my upcoming book, How Truth Makes You Free. In there I talk about the nature of truth as natural law, and in this section of the book, I'm talking about how truth makes us free. And in order to better understand that we need to understand the types of problems that we face and can be liberated from through truth. Before we get to that though, I want to ask you to please share this podcast along and leave a review if it's been beneficial for you and for others that you know, so that we can grow our audience and expose more people to the truth and how it can make them free. Today when I share some of the book with you. It might be worth your while. You don't need to stop this podcast at all and go listen to it, but I do have a mission-driven story on Jacques Lusseyran and I talk about his story a little bit in the book, and I'll reference him in some of the things that I talk about. You don't have to have read his book or even listened to that. Podcast to understand the kinds of things that I'm talking about. We're gonna reference the types of problems that he faced in his life and I'll give you some frame of reference for that as I go through them. And then I'll tell you some personal stories about ways that I have run into these four types of problems myself. To start out though, I wanna read to you a little bit from the Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck. He has this to say. “Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we really see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult, once we truly understand and accepted, then life is no longer difficult because once it is accepted, the fact that it is difficult, no longer matters. Most do not fully see this truth that life is difficult. Instead, they moan more or less incessantly, noisily, or subtly about the enormity of their problems, their burdens, and their difficulties, as if life were generally easy, as if life should be easy. They voice their belief loudly or subtly that their difficulties represent a unique kind of affliction that should not be, and that was somehow been especially visited upon them or else upon their families, their tribe, their class, their nation, their race, or even their species and not upon others.” I know this moaning because I have done my share and I am right there with M. Scott Peck and with all of you that. Life is difficult. Much more difficult than we want it to be many times. And we moan about it. We don't want life to be difficult. And yet he goes on to talk about the nature of problems and how they're tied into all of the things that we're gonna talk about today and that we talk about a lot in the MDM Academy. He goes on, “Life is a series of problems. Do we want to moan about them or solve them? Do we want to teach our children to solve them? Okay. Discipline is the basic set of tools we require to solve life's problems. And without discipline we can do nothing. But with some discipline we can solve some problems, and with ...
