What happens when you let go of something that's defined you for 17 years? After nearly two decades with dreadlocks, I made the life-changing decision to shave my head completely bald. This wasn't just a haircut – it was a profound moment that forced me to confront how much of my identity had become wrapped up in my appearance.The physical transformation revealed deeper spiritual truths about seasons of change and personal identity. As Ecclesiastes reminds us, "For everything there is a season" – and sometimes entering a new season requires embracing the direct opposite of where we currently stand. My journey from dreads to bald became a powerful metaphor for the Christian concept of metanoia (repentance) – literally changing your mind before external transformation can follow.This episode explores the vulnerable space between who we've been and who we're becoming. I share how the dreads that began as something to please my wife gradually became a source of pride that occasionally led me into dangerous situations. The physical change represents a reclaiming of my true identity in Christ rather than in external appearances. If you're struggling with making a significant change in your life – whether leaving an unhealthy relationship, breaking an addiction, or transforming any area where you feel stuck – this raw conversation will encourage you to embrace the unknown. Sometimes what we fear most about change is uncertainty about how our lives will look afterward, but as I've discovered, our healthiest and strongest selves emerge when we courageously step into transformation.Ready to embrace change in your own life?
