This week on the BraveCo Podcast, I’m diving into one of the most important callings we have as men: becoming the anchor in the middle of life’s storms. A few years ago, my wife and I walked through the devastating loss of her mom, and in the middle of grief, chaos, and family challenges, I had to learn what it meant to show up differently. Not to fix everything, but to become the steady presence my family could rely on.

Being the anchor doesn’t mean having all the answers. It means learning to reprioritize, to shift from self-focus to family-focus, and to build emotional safety in your home. I share the hard lessons I learned in that season, the sacrifices I had to make, and the mindset shifts that helped me walk through it with strength and faith.

If you’re in the middle of financial struggles, relational challenges, or even spiritual battles, this message is for you. You don’t have to solve every problem overnight—but you can choose to be the steady force your family needs. In this episode, I’ll give you practical steps to reset your priorities, bring peace into your home, and step into the role God has called you to as a man.
