My very first guest! My dear friend of nearly 40 years joined me to discuss life's ups and downs, what we learned from them, and how we deal with them even today. We also had a lot of laughs! Please be sure to check out his wonderful YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/@LenBanks, as well as his website lenbanks.com to check out his art work.

I was reminded today of the profound impact my elementary school janitor made in my life in such a simple and practical way. What simple thing can you do that may inspire someone for decades to come?

God can use unexpected things to show us a glimpse of ourselves and God. Today we explore one such case.

Today I share a life lesson I had in a hotel room in Lexington, KY while watching the movie The Breakfast Club. You may relate to it more than you think.

Recorded on the 15th anniversary of my mom's passing, it seemed a fitting tribute to bring encouragement to share your love with others, and to forgive and reconcile if necessary. Life is too short to spend it with regret.

In this episode, we explore just some of the ways God speaks to us and how we can learn to recognize His voice.

As Neil Armstrong would call it, this episode details my "one giant leap".

This is my story of a significant leap of faith that, unknown at the time, was the prequel to an even bigger one 4 years later.

There is a difference between cost and value, and it's important to understand and make sure we're aware of our own value. Then we need to assess the value of the things and people in our lives to budget how we spend our resources on them.

How do we deal with disappointment, no matter how big or small?
