    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!

  • Ep. 148 Rob Saffeels (Part 2) - Learning how to be authentic!

    This episode with Rob is part 2. If you missed part 1, go back and listen to it as well. 

    Rob knows the Gospel and has for most of his life, and admits that he struggles to continuously follow Jesus daily by surrendering to Him… we all do at times in our lives! 

    Learning to live the authentic Christ centered life, the way God designed us, provides joy and peace… if we live out the calling God has on our life!

    When we don’t live out the life God has called us too, like Jonah, we oftentimes do not experience the joy or peace God has for us! 

    Learn the ways of God through Christ and experience the Joy of the Lord! 

    “Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials,” James 1:2

  • Ep. 147 Ryan Rasmussen - Reframing your past!

    In this episode, Ryan shares his life… Growing up in Oregon, working with his dad in the family business, learning how to “work hard and play hard”, raising kids and the calling to minister to people on mission trips…. being willing to traveling far and wide to serve people they are going through hard times! 

    Life on this side of heaven is not perfect, but God uses each one of us that say yes to HIS calling and Ryan is that guy that continues to faithfully do what God has called him to do! 

    “For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.” 1 Cor. 15:3-4

  • Ep. 146 Rick Bruggeman and Samuel Medina - Hispanic church planting!

    This episode with Rick and Sam was great! The calling of God to be a preacher is just that!  To obey God is to pray, trust and do what He has called each one of us to do! 

    The conviction that Rick has toward his faith in Jesus, his love for his family and the calling God has on his life is incredible to see! 

    The trust that Sam has put in God to move himself, his wife and 3 kiddos to Oregon and be a part of the Hispanic Church planting alongside Rick shows incredible faith!

    God is at work in each of us and this episode will encourage everyone to trust in the Lord…

    “Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
    And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him,

    And He shall direct your paths.” 
    Proverbs 3:5-6

  • Ep. 145 Buddy Puckett - The abundant life!

    Yes, this is my podcast, but my friend, Nick McWilliams, asked if he could interview me on the podcast! 

    Of course, I am an open book and want people to see and know the real me… the good and the bad! 

    To be authentic and transparent about my faith in Christ is what really matters!

    I hope you enjoy this episode! 🙏

    “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came so that they would have life, and have it abundantly.  I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.” John 10:10-11

  • Ep. 142 Mark Charlton - Strength in vulnerability!

    Mark shares his life from really bad decisions that left him feeling empty! The world promises much, but always delivers less than what God promises!

  • Ep. 141 Mike Adams - Feed My People!

    Great podcast with Mike! Anyone who has lived long enough knows that life will have its challenges, which he shares in this episode! 

    Mike had a great upbringing with wonderful parents and siblings, but that does not translate into smooth sailing with no problems in life! 

    He is transparent and authentic and shares the ups and downs he has faced and remains positive about where God has him at… 🙏🙏🙏

    “Feed My People” is something Mike heard early on from the Lord and he has since opened up several restaurants and catering food trucks to obviously make a profit, but also be willing to feed those who need a good meal… physically and spiritually! 

    Go support Mike and his family at one of their local restaurants here in the mid-Willamette Valley!
