A Reflection by Joshua T. Berglan
Published on July 2, 2025
In a heartfelt and candid video, Joshua T. Berglan takes us on his personal journey of self-discovery, inspired by his reading of the devotional "Giving it all Away and Getting it all Back Again." He opens up about his past, touching on profound struggles with mental health, addiction, and the complexities of relationships, all while on the path to finding his own truth.
The discussion begins with a powerful chapter on the "art of generational handoff" and a reflection on the Proverbs 31 woman, as described in the devotional. From there, Joshua delves into his own experiences, creating a compelling narrative that champions the vital importance of living in one's truth and being unapologetically oneself.
"Throughout the video, Joshua expresses the joy and fulfillment that comes from letting God use you in your authentic self."
He shares a powerful testament to how living authentically not only brought him peace but also attracted a "Proverbs 31 woman" into his life. His message is one of radical love and acceptance, emphasizing that God's grace is for everyone, regardless of their past struggles or sexual orientation.
In his closing, Joshua offers a warm blessing and powerful encouragement for all viewers to embrace their own unique, authentic selves and to find the courage to live in their truth.
Below is the living archive of field notes, frameworks, and reflections from the work of building sovereign media infrastructure through Media Company in a Box, The Sovereign Protocol, and The Sovereign Franchise.
