"I'm guilty" is not something you hear from the mouths of
those who work in politics very often. But Tim Goeglein mustered
the courage and character to say them … and that rare immediate
honesty taught him valuable lessons to move beyond his
self-inflicted crucible.
In his interview with Warwick, Goeglein confesses how he on
several occasions plagiarized the work of others for a column he
wrote for his hometown newspaper while he was serving as a special
assistant to President George W. Bush.
You hear us talk often on the show about how
forgiveness – from others and to ourselves – is a critical step to
turning what’s been broken into breakthrough. You’ll want to listen
to Goeglein recount how the Leader of the Free World forgave him
for his actions and the bad press they caused the White
House.
Goeglein has continued to live a life of significance, serving
as the D.C.-based vice president of external relations for the
Christian nonprofit Focus on the Family.
His top takeaway from his journey? “Failure reintroduces you
to yourself.”
