Forging The Path

Welcome back, friends. It's time for season 2!

In this episode, I (Adam) give a brief update about Forging The Path, the mission, and how YOU can help.

I also share a short teaching from our Band of Brothers conversation a few weeks ago. We talked about PAM - the passive aggressive male - and the tendencies in each of us to be passive in many areas in our lives. But Christ does not call men to be passive! He makes us into a new creation, and calls us to be humble, confident, disciplined men of action.

Let this episode challenge you to actively follow the Lord in ALL areas of your life, and stay tuned for more conversations and content from Forging The Path.

Gain valuable advice on managing burnout, making quick decisions, and staying grounded through it all. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a professional, or someone seeking better balance in life, this episode offers practical wisdom and inspiration.

Part-3 of our Father-Son Bible Study. (The best one yet!) We talk about Jeremiah 29:13, "You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart."

My Dad joins me for Part-2 of our Father-Son Bible Study. We focus on 2 Timothy 1:7, "For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but one of power, of love, and of a sound mind."

The mighty Matt Austin joins me in this episode. Matt is the real deal: humble, honest, real. He's also a business owner and the chaplain for the Lake Country Dock Hounds, a pro baseball team in Wisconsin. He shares tons of wisdom from the peaks and valleys of life in this episode. You might want to take some notes as you listen to this one!

My Dad (Tom Zastrow) joins me in the first of this 3-part Bible Study. In this episode, we talk about Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."

I got to sit down with the awesome Eric Forrestal a couple weeks ago. We originally met through the wonderful world of real estate. We discussed a wide variety of topics including but not limited to, Eric's life story, his company (Workforce Renegades), the DISC assessment, effective communication, and last but certainly not least: God.

You can check out Eric's business by going to WorkforceRenegades.com

Eric spoke powerfully about how God has been working in his life lately, and how he's beginning to realize that God is always there for us if we would only have eyes to see it.

Hope you enjoy this episode.
