Hi Noah,
My name is Daniel Gregory, I went through beyond the battle around 2017-18 twice. It has been several years, but I wanted to reach out since I just found out your podcast started back up at some point! I don’t know if you took a break or what, but I thought you had stopped the podcast. Anyway, I was wondering if you are still doing Beyond the Battle? I see on your page here the website and I would be open to picking it back up and going through your book again if you’re doing groups.
I hope we can catch up either way soon.
Hi Daniel! Great to hear from you. I did take a sabbatical from the podcast last spring I think. And yes, Beyond the Battle is thriving. We still do our 7-week groups, as well as a new alumni community. If you’re interested in doing the 7-week group again, we have one starting on Saturday mornings in a month: https://www.beyondthebattle.net/join-a-group/
You can also join our alumni community, since you’ve already done a group. The alumni community is free and has 7 Zoom meetings throughout the week, as well as Slack, Marco Polo, and 2 in-person (paid) retreats. If you’d like to join, email us at groups@beyondthebattle.net and just let us know you’ve been through a group (I already know that, but another guy does the admin for alumni) and that you’d like to join the alumni email list. Then we’ll get back to you with the meeting info.
