Unfiltered: Revealing tactics to meet life's demands
41 episodes - English - Latest episode: 5 months ago - ★★★★★ - 6 ratingsUnfiltered digs into the personal stories of those who have life experiences ready to share. Life demands you address 4 key areas; health, relationships, personal resources (time, energy, money), and your career or calling. If one area goes neglected, you risk becoming unbalanced and succumbing to life's tumultuous turns. But, every person has a story worth listening to, and advice that could enhance your daily life experience, if only that knowledge could get to you in a timely and entertaining fashion. Dr. Philip and Pastor Isaak release weekly episodes with a new guest to dive in and share their successes and failures of life, so you can pull wisdom and hope from their experiences and follow the less traveled path of personal responsibility and actual contentment.
