Becoming Home: A Conversation with Ben DeLong

<p>In this episode we chat with Ben DeLong.</p> <p>Here is his bio in his own words:  I was born in Iowa, grew up as a pastor’s kid, and eventually became a pastor myself. What I later learned was that becoming a pastor was my way of coping with wounds and trauma that had built up within me since childhood. I have since given up being a pastor and turned my focus to becoming an author. My lovely wife has been a steady presence in my life. We were married in 2005 and adopted our son in 2019. They have been the greatest teachers in my life as I’ve journeyed toward a greater sense of wholeness. I love writing, and I love exploring the inner journey. I combine these two passions in my books to help give people hope to make the next step in their own story. I invite you to explore my work and see what you are inspired to move toward in life.</p> <p>You can follow Ben on:</p> <p><a href='https://www.facebook.com/ben.delong.73'>Facebook</a>     <a href='https://twitter.com/bencdelong'>Twitter</a>     <a href='https://www.instagram.com/bencdelong/'>Instagram</a></p> <p>You can find things all Ben DeLong related at his <a href='https://www.bdelong.com/'>website</a></p> <p>You can purchase Ben's book at <a href='https://www.amazon.com/Ben-DeLong/e/B082RG22GX/ref=dp_byline_cont_pop_book_1'>Amazon.com</a></p> <p>You can connect with us on    <a href='https://www.facebook.com/groups/thisisnotchurch'>Facebook</a>     <a href='https://www.instagram.com/this_is_not_church/'>Instagram </a>     <a href='https://twitter.com/ThisIsNotChurc1'>Twitter</a></p> <p>Want to help us with our future episodes of This Is Not Church Podcast?
