Discover one man's journey of love, loss, and divine navigation as he makes his way through God’s often confusing and chaotic plans for our lives.

Looking at Life's Challenges Through Humor & Faith

In this inspiring episode, Clay Boatright, author of God's Plans, Our Circus, joins the podcast to share his heartfelt story of faith, resilience, and finding purpose in the face of life's greatest challenges.

Clay's belief in God's plan for everyone takes center stage as he recounts his wife Carole's battle with cancer and their struggles in starting a family.

Through the highs and lows, Clay emphasizes the importance of identifying and embracing God's plan, even when it deviates from our own desires.

As Clay and Carole yearned for a larger family, their lives took an unexpected turn when they welcomed identical twins, Paige and Mia, who were later diagnosed with autism and severe intellectual disabilities.

Clay shares a powerful moment of questioning and anger at God, which ultimately transformed into a profound sense of purpose and dedication to helping those with disabilities. Clay's unwavering faith and advocacy work led to his appointment by President Obama to a presidential advisory committee focusing on empowering people with disabilities.

Clay reflects on the profound impact of his wife's passing, as he found himself alone for the first time in his adult life. Through this transformative experience, he emphasizes the importance of proactive long-term planning for loved ones and the power of choosing happiness despite life's challenges.

Tune-in as Clay Boatright shares his extraordinary journey and inspires us to embrace life's unexpected turns with faith, love, and purpose.
