Dr. Henry Cloud Talks about New Years Resolutions

New Years Resolutions – All Things Converge Podcast preview from All Things Converge Podcast on Vimeo.

Next week I’ll be launching a video podcast called All Things Converge in which I interview scholars and entertainers on various subjects. I’ll give you more information soon about where you can sign up for the podcast, but for now I wanted to share with you a bit of an interview I did with Dr. Henry Cloud in which he talks about New Years Resolutions.

Henry Cloud is one of my favorite writers. In this interview he reminds us that people don’t change quickly. Maturity and change take time, and in order to change we have to put ourselves into a context where change can take place. I’ll let Dr. Cloud say it better. Enjoy.

*All Things Converge is a podcast based on a DVD series called Convergence. Convergence is a DVD designed to stimulate conversations for small groups. The Podcast, however, will be free, and cover topics not covered on the DVD.

    I’m a big fan of Dr. Cloud too. I really liked the interview clip, but the audio is a little faint. Can you move the mic closer next time?

    You may find the picture of this man reading “Searching for God Know What” moderately amusing.

    Looks great. Can’t wait!

  10. I want Henry Cloud to read me a story and tuck me in at night. He has to be one of the most soothing human beings God has ever created.

    And I love what he has to say here. Especially since I am a person of great resolve… and like ZERO discipline. *sigh*

    Looking forward to this series. Thanks for sharing your work.

  11. Maturing would be easy if it didn’t cost anything, but the price is often painful! Makes me think of the student who asked his mentor, “How did you become so sucessful?”
    The older answered, “Good choices.”
    “How do you make good choices?” the younger questioned further.
    “Experience!” said the older.
    With a hint of impatience, the younger queried, “How do you get experience?”
    “Bad Choices!” replied the older.

    Jamie, I was thinking the same exact thing.

    I appreciate Dr. Cloud’s approach to New Years’ Resolutions.
    I’m already looking forward to the more mature me…
