067 - The Problem with Judging Others
Message to Our Kids
Thanks for your patience—life's been a whirlwind. Let me dive into a recent personal journey: completing my third Spartan Ultra at Killington Mountain. It's been a wild ride, filled with challenges and lessons. Three years ago, my coach asked what fitness challenge inspired me, and I chose the Spartan Ultra. Little did I know, it would lead to a deep bond with my friend Franco, as we both supported our wives through breast cancer. This year's race was intense—cramps, early knee pain, and a fellow racer not playing by the rules. His behavior...

063 - Self Confident Imposter
Message to Our Kids
I've been going through a rough patch lately, feeling under the weather and all. But enough about that – today, let's talk about something we've all faced: the feeling of not being good enough. I've been there – the moments when doubt creeps in and we compare ourselves to others. Sometimes we put on a confident facade, hiding our insecurities. Other times, we let those insecurities keep us isolated, shying away from connections. But here's the real deal: we don't have to stay in this cycle. I've been through it, and I've discovered that tapping into faith,...

062 - Couples are Not Ready
Message to Our Kids
These past months, we've been diving into powerful concepts for couples – almost like a spiritual armor that enriches relationships. It's all about embodying roles: Men holding a shield of unconditional love, a sanctuary of unwavering support in storms of emotion. This shield empowers partners to share and connect, finding solace in the embrace of love's invincibility. On the other side, women wield a reflective sword, intuitively mirroring their partners' hearts with a strength cultivated through spiritual growth. Yet, this journey isn't always straightforward. ...

061 - Faith in Light or Dark
Message to Our Kids
In today's episode, I wanted to share something personal. The recent podcast episodes have been shorter due to me soaking up the summer moments, just like you. Let's talk about faith. This morning, thoughts about faith occupied my mind. Faith is believing in the unseen, embracing the promise that something remarkable awaits us. It's standing strong in uncertainty. Imagine us chatting about the flip side of faith. If faith is trust, then doubt and darkness are its opposites. Here's the thing: faith is universal. It fuels our anticipation for the yet-to-come. It's the hope that...

060 - My Daughter Lost in the Darkness

"Mom handles the kids." "Mom handles their emotional outbursts" "Mom deals with them when they're being little sh!ts" "Go talk to your mother if you're upset." "Go sit in your room until you calm the f#$% down." "I can't handle you right now - leave me alone." "I can't stand how you're acting right now." "I don't deal with the kids - that's her job." "I'm going to lose my f@$%ing mind right now!" "You're so emotional - why are you so emotional all the time??" All of these things I've said at one point in my journey as a...

059 - When Children Become Weaponized
Message to Our Kids
When will you cease using your children as tools of emotional warfare? It's incredible how many parents completely step over this. You know, life's full of twists and turns, and I've found some pretty eye-opening insights I want to share with you, and if you're unaware of these things, then take heed, especially if you sit inside a divided Kingdom at home right now. Hard to believe, but only a tiny fraction of people throughout history have escaped the rat race of conflict and struggle. It's a real mess, especially in relationships, and sadly, our kids bear the brunt of it. I...
info_outline👋 In today's episode, I am joined by the love of my life, Laura. 💕🔥 Tonight, we want to continue sharing our journey through cancer.
It all started when Laura received the diagnosis of stage 1A, grade 2, invasive ductal carcinoma. While it was a shock, we felt a glimmer of hope as the cancer seemed encapsulated, sparing her from chemo or radiation. 🥺✨ Given her family's history, we decided on a double mastectomy for added precaution.
Navigating the pandemic's challenges, 😷 we faced delays, but Dr. Chung, our amazing surgeon, suggested a partial mastectomy instead.
In December 2020, Laura underwent a lumpectomy, and two additional lymph nodes were tested. It was a nerve-wracking time, 😬 but we stuck together through it all.
Next episode, we'll continue sharing our cancer journey with you. Thank you for being here with us. 🙏❤️
