About this listen

In this episode of the Different podcast, Jill Rowe talks with Steve Chalke about why developing inner core strength and refusing to take shortcuts matters so much. They discuss steadiness, balance and resilience and how these come about through hard work and practise exercising the spiritual and emotional muscles needed to thrive.


It's tempting to take shortcuts, but stepping out of our comfort zone, we see that strength and learning is all formed through pain and screw ups, joy and success, suffering and challenge. These are all of life for all of us.


Our job is to embrace it all and we get to do this roller coaster life with one another. What a gift that is.



Our title music is written and performed by Jerome Alexander (Message to Bears).
