Have you ever wondered if you missed God's will for your life?

In this episode, JT shares lessons from The Will of God as a Way of Life by Gerald Sittser and challenges the idea that God's will is a hidden plan we have to discover. Instead, God's focus may be less about finding the perfect path and more about becoming the right kind of person.

If you're facing a big decision, carrying regrets, or feeling stuck waiting for certainty, this conversation will encourage you to stop chasing guarantees and start focusing on faithfulness, wisdom, and obedience in the ordinary moments of life.

In this episode, I explore the importance of taking responsibility after life's setbacks, especially for divorced dads. I talk about the fact that nobody is coming to save you, and real change begins with personal accountability, action, and resilience.

Every divorced dad is living through his own version of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday… whether he realizes it or not.
In this episode, we break down the stages of loss, the waiting, and the rebuild using the story of Jesus’ final days… and what it actually looks like to come out the other side stronger.

Stop trying to do it all on your own strength—it’s a losing game. Today, I’m breaking down the Feeding of the 5,000 to show you how divine power picks up exactly where our ‘man-power’ runs out. Real talk for dads on staying connected to the only energy source that doesn't redline.
