I’m joined by a man whose strength lives somewhere between exhaustion and grace.

Chris B. is an award-winning poet, caregiver, dad and husband— and if you ask his son Brayden, he’s also a real-life superhero.

Brayden, lovingly called Bray Bray, was born with a rare genetic disorder that causes seizures and developmental delays. But his light — and his laughter — became the center of Chris’s poetry, his purpose, and his faith. But let’s pause, that smile from Bray Bray… You think you are having a bad day.. Look at Bray Bray’s smile as that kid can turn a frown upside down in a heart beat!

In his poem ‘The Believer,’ Chris takes us into the raw, unfiltered world of caregiving — where anger and gratitude often share the same heartbeat. He writes about the paperwork, the walls, the sleepless nights, and the love that still manages to shine through it all.

Tonight, we’ll talk about what it means to be the strong one, what it means to break the cycle of frustration, and how a father and son remind each other what belief truly looks like.
