Welcome to the very first episode of Rough Cut Wisdom. In this raw and honest conversation, I share my personal journey — from growing up in a strong Christian home, to walking away from faith and family, to finding discipline and redemption through the Army and God’s relentless grace.

This episode is part confession, part thank-you letter, and part encouragement for anyone who feels too far gone to come home. I also introduce you to a man we call “Wheels” — a double amputee, children’s minister, and one of the most Christ-like examples I’ve ever known.

If you’ve ever felt lost, ashamed, or unsure how to take the first step back, this one’s for you.
