Embark on a transformative journey with Shadow Self, where pastor and philosopher Mark Chironna guides you through the depths of the human soul. Here, shadows and the potential for resurrection coexist.

Chironna invites you to face your darkest corners head-on, not merely to heal but to truly live. Drawing on powerful biblical and cultural stories-from Moses to Michael Corleone, from Elijah to Spiderman-he shows how our fears and dreams awaken our desire to confront adversities with courage.

The key to every story? The shadows. Our heroes, like ourselves, are not immune to pain and failure.

Anxiety and fear. Grief and loss. Financial stress. Old trauma and wounds. Social strife. These shadowy parts of ourselves-those things we try to hide-are not residues to bury. They are the means of our flourishing, the tools to find and live our fullest self. Our darkest moments are essential. Our greatest mistakes become the very means by which we summon

strength and find our truest selves.

According to Chironna, this means of grace is resurrection. Resurrection is not just a historical event but a daily practice, a habit of rising above life's trials. Practicing resurrection leads us out of the shadows.

Through this practice, we move from languishing to flourishing. We rediscover joy and move beyond trauma and fear toward a life well-lived.
