About this episode

How do we heal from our past without repeating its mistakes?

In this episode of The High Note, Tauren sits down with Paul Scanlon to explore the power of breaking generational cycles, navigating deep wounds, and embracing true humanity. Paul opens up about growing up with an alcoholic father and being estranged from his siblings, shedding light on the struggles of moving forward without the support of those who hurt us. He shares his thoughts on how healing comes not from religious formulas, but from deeply understanding our humanity. Tune in as Paul challenges us to step outside the confines of our Christian bubble, emphasizing the importance of connecting with those who think differently and developing empathy through uncomfortable conversations. This episode is a transformative conversation about healing, growth, and learning to speak the language of humanity—whether in the church or on the street.
