In this episode of the BraveCo Podcast, I sit down with two of my favorite people—my son Elijah and his wife Ally—to talk about what it really looks like to live with courage, faith, and purpose in the middle of chaos. From the frontlines of Ukraine to disaster zones in Brazil, Turkey, and Mexico, their stories reveal what happens when ordinary people step into extraordinary risk to bring help and hope.

As we unpack moments like evacuating families while bombs fell overhead, mucking mud out of flooded homes in Brazil, and providing safety for thousands of refugees in Mexico, one thing becomes clear: following God always requires action. It’s not about playing it safe; it’s about saying yes to the hard places where lives are hanging in the balance.

You’ll hear powerful testimonies of how the peace of God shows up in the scariest moments, how practical acts like providing meals can literally save lives, and why every single one of us has a role to play. Whether it’s adopting a refugee family for just $30 a month or simply being willing to step out of your comfort zone, this conversation will challenge you to live braver, love deeper, and stand strong in a world that desperately needs men to rise.
