Welcome to The Lighthouse Collective podcast series Keep Shining with Stuart MacMillan. In this episode Stuart sits down with pastor, musician, speaker, and author Daryl Black to talk honestly about anxiety, identity, trauma, and practical habits that help us keep our light burning in a cloudy world.   What you will hear Daryl’s personal story: losing his mother at age 7 and how that shaped his journey. How unspoken lies like "I am not good enough" become self-fulfilling prophecies. The difference between big trauma and the subtle things that dim our glow: people pleasing, comparison, lack of boundaries, spiritual disconnection. Small, sustainable disciplines that build emotional and spiritual resilience. Start small, be consistent, build compound interest. How identity shaped by your heavenly Father rewires feelings into truth. Practical tools for when you are "off track": mini vacations, stillness, rest, and humility. Leadership, delegation, and protecting what matters while letting go of things you love.   Memorable lines "No matter who you are and what you think, you will become a product of what you believe." "Start in small bites. Read the Bible for three minutes. Drive to the gym. Compound interest will do the rest."   About Daryl Black Daryl is Executive Teaching Pastor at Grace Family Church in Tampa, a musician who once appeared on The X Factor, former Harlem Globetrotter, and the author of the forthcoming book You’re Not Crazy: Everybody Gets Anxious. He blends biblical wisdom with practical life strategies for everyday resilience.   If you enjoyed this conversation, please subscribe, like, and leave a review.
