Conversations with Buddy

Tim and I had an amazing conversation! He is a man with many gifts, radical faith and a love for Jesus! 🙏

He shares his life from a young kid who lost his dad at 4 years old, growing up with his mom and different step dads, to his love for music, the Marines, marriage, parenting 12 kids, the loss of his parents in a car crash & finally his journey of faith with Jesus! 🙏

His story is very compelling and you will be moved by his testimony!

Tim is also a licensed real estate agent here in Oregon.  If you need help buying or selling a home, connect with him here:

Life verse:
1 I waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me and heard my cry.

2 He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, And He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm.
3 He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; Many will see and fear And will trust in the Lord.
Psalm 40:1-3

About Buddy Puckett:
Buddy Puckett has been in the mortgage and finance space and mentoring men for over 25 years.  A mentoring opportunity all started when he first began in the mortgage industry in 1998, when he began to mentor a younger guy who happened to be married.  This person was not making great choices and it was sadly affecting his marriage.  We all are 1 decision away from something really dumb, so accountability became something Buddy knew he needed as well.  Buddy’s wife, Shawn, suggested he start a podcast in 2022 to share the stories of people who have struggled,
failed, overcame by realizing the life of love, joy and peace is only available through a relationship with Jesus Christ! 

“Jesus said to him, ’I am the way, and the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me’.” John 14:6

Great podcast with Cole! Getting to hear about his upbringing, mom and dad, girlfriend, college, future plans and his walk with Jesus! 🙏

Hanging around young people and hearing about their dreams and desires is amazing and Cole is no exception…

He has a great head on his shoulder and a bright future ahead of him!

Let’s see what Cole does after graduation from Oregon State University, what career path he takes and if he makes his way to Bali to live! 😎

Psalm 118:1-6

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness is everlasting.

Oh let Israel say,
“His lovingkindness is everlasting.”

Oh let the house of Aaron say,
“His lovingkindness is everlasting.”

Oh let those who fear the Lord say,
“His lovingkindness is everlasting.”

From my distress I called upon the Lord;
The Lord answered me and set me in a large place.

The Lord is for me; I will not fear;
What can man do to me?

Skylar and I had a great conversation about his life and the lessons God is teaching him!

You will enjoy learning how Skylar has lived his life for God through each phase of his life. From a young kid, high school, college, military and now to a husband and father!

He is still learning to have faith and trust in Jesus on a daily basis with all his needs! (PS. We never arrive on this side of heaven!)

“And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.“ Matthew 8:26

Desiring to win at anything always costs something… what was the cost of becoming a 2 time high school wrestling state champion? Les Schwab career?

And now, finding purpose after retirement? How is God still working out HIS plan in Mike’s life?

Mike shares his life… high school and college wrestling, his amazing wife, kids, grand kids, a 30+ year career with Les Schwab and his faith in Jesus!

Everyone wants to win at something, but it’s rare to win at everything!  With that said, wanting to win in one area of your life will cost you something in a different area of your life!

The question is, what is it and was it worth it?

Mike is very transparent in this podcast to share his life… winning in wrestling, his career and what the costs were! 

The good news… God has a way to draw us back to HIMSELF when we get too far away and bring us back into the fold!

You will really enjoy hearing about the joys of Mikes life, what a career with Les Schwab did for him and his family, what his wife, kids and grand kids mean to him.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.” Romans 1:16

JD Shinn and I did 3 podcasts together in one day. It was awesome and this was the first of the 3! 👍

In this podcast, JD and I talk about his personal podcast, “Christianese with JD Shinn”!

If you want to have a conversation on what it means to be a Christ follower, this podcast is for you!

Labeling yourself as a Christian does not save you, UNLESS you have accepted Jesus as your Savior like what you read in Romans 10:9-10…  “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

Also, having respectful conversation on different interpretations of scripture is JD’s goal.  Something we need to do as Bible  believing, Christ followers, is to read scripture in context.

JD is a guy who humbly does this. Go listen to this podcast and see if you agree! Find it on YouTube, Apple and Spotify!

In this podcast, Kary shares his life as a coach! Coaching is a gift and a calling he has been given… knowing that early on, watching his dad coach sports, that he had a desire to be around athletes with his dad, and one day become a leader and a coach!

Like father, like son! 🙌

To be given a National Hall of Fame award as a wrestling coach, is truly amazing!

Well done, Coach Kary!!! 💪

The impact a coach can have on his student athletes can be life changing to them in their personal life and also work life! 

We all need a good coach in sports and life, and it takes humility to realize we all have blind spots… BUT,  a great coach can help you identify and use those gifts!

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9

Kyle is an incredible human being! He has compassion for life, talent for basketball, love for family and faith in Jesus! 

Growing up in Salem, playing basketball in high school, D1 in College and now a professional player in Spain! Living out his childhood dream! 🏀 

Being away from family this past year helped him grow to depend more on his faith in Jesus and close friends who help him stay sharpened! With all this freedom now comes a higher responsibility! 🙏

I love some of his quotes:
“If you’re not early, you are late!”
“Have a dream!”
“Unwavering confidence and mentality!”
“Confidence in preparation!”
“Put in the work!”

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.” Jer. 29:11

You can find Kyle on IG @kgreeley5.
