Imagine a single moment in time forcing you to reimagine your entire life before you were even 20 years old...

At 14,000 feet in the Himalayas, today’s guest was given a second chance—and he chose to spend it serving humanity.

Why This Episode Matters to You

If you’ve ever felt stuck between success and significance, or wondered whether your current path is truly meaningful, this episode meets you right where you are. It explores what happens when purpose pulls louder than comfort—and what’s possible when you decide to act on it.

Why Must You Listen?

• Discover how a near-fatal moment can instantly clarify what actually matters—and how to apply that clarity to your own life without waiting for a crisis.
• Learn how success, wealth, and achievement can become tools for impact instead of endpoints.
• Walk away with a new definition of purpose that’s grounded in action, service, and legacy—not just intention.

What’s It All About?Dr. Abraham George’s story is a masterclass in reinvention.

Prepare to be taken from a freezing mountaintop near the China–India border—where a premature dynamite blast nearly claimed his life—to Wall Street boardrooms, successful entrepreneurship, and ultimately back to rural India.

You’ll hear how surviving the unthinkable forced him to question power, war, money, and meaning. You’ll follow his journey from soldier to economist, from building a highly successful global company to selling everything he built, and from personal ambition to founding life-changing schools for children born into extreme poverty.

At its heart, this conversation is about compassionate action. Not just feeling empathy. Not just having good intentions. But choosing to do something—especially when it’s hard, long-term, and inconvenient.

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Am I really doing what I’m here to do?” — this episode will stay with you long after it ends.

He is the founder of Shanti Bhavan Schools in India and the author of Mountains to Cross, a compelling reflection on purpose, service, and compassionate action.

What if the moment you thought your life was over became the moment it truly began?

Damon West was handed a life sentence in a Texas prison—but instead of letting it break him, he became something few dare to dream of behind bars: a force for hope and redemption!

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your own “prison”—whether that’s addiction, depression, shame, or simply a life that feels off-track—this episode is for you. Damon’s story isn’t just about surviving hardship; it’s about transforming it into purpose. If you're ready to stop being a prisoner of your past and start becoming an agent of change, you’ll find something powerful here.

In this gripping and hope-filled episode, which was originally published on May 6, 2025 as episode 390, Kevin Lowe sits down with Damon West—a former Division I quarterback turned meth addict, convicted felon, and now, one of the most in-demand motivational speakers in the world. Sentenced to 65 years in a Texas maximum-security prison, Damon could have become hardened by the system. Instead, through a single conversation with a fellow inmate and a lesson involving a coffee bean, Damon found the inner power to transform not just himself—but the entire prison culture around him.

This is a story of radical accountability, transformation, faith, and the kind of hope that refuses to be silenced—even behind bars. Most importantly, this is a conversation that holds the power to be the spark needed to ignite a change in your own life. Listen once, twice, maybe even three times.... What you are about to hear today is everything.

PRESS PLAY NOW to discover how one man’s rock bottom became a global message of hope, healing, and redemption.

Have you ever gotten to the end of a year and thought, “How did I work this hard and still feel like I’m standing in the exact same spot?"

If that question echoes what you’re feeling in your heart right now—this episode is for you.

Why This Episode Will Speak to You

This isn’t a polished highlight reel or a motivational pep talk. It’s an honest, vulnerable conversation from someone who knows what it’s like to wrestle with direction, discouragement, and the frustrating silence of God.

Maybe you’ve done everything “right.” You set the goals, stayed consistent, and kept your faith. And yet—no breakthrough, no clarity, no doors opening.

This is where Kevin meets you today: in that space of spiritual exhaustion and deep reflection.

What You’ll Walk Away With

• A personal, unfiltered reflection on a year that felt more like survival than success
• Reassurance that you're not alone in questioning your calling or feeling like your prayers are going unanswered
• A renewed sense of hope, reminding you that even when God feels silent, He’s still moving behind the scenes

If you’re searching for the inspiration to keep going when life feels loud and uncertain, this conversation is your reset. Sandy Moll went from a young marriage and single motherhood to a blended family and seven businesses—built on faith, forgiveness, gratitude, and the courage to listen to God in the quiet.

In this episode, you’ll hear how Sandy:

• Navigated divorce, blended two families with love, and released the guilt through self-forgiveness
• Lost W-2 jobs during the 2007–08 crisis—then followed God’s nudge to launch new companies
• Uses silence (no phone notifications!) to hear God’s direction and choose the right next step
• Keeps work sustainable with systems, SOPs, and ruthless prioritization (not hustle theater)
• Starts each day with gratitude so fear and comparison don’t run the show
• Discerns real God-given dreams from noisy, external expectations

Why This Matters

If you’ve been praying, pushing, and still wondering “Am I chasing the wrong dream?”—Sandy’s story shows how quiet, humble moments can spark the biggest transformations. It’s practical, inspirational, and faith-forward without being preachy.

Highlights

• The early “searching” years: belonging, church as a safe place, and chosen family
• From first marriage to single mom to a blended family that actually worked
• The 2008 Financial Crisis: job loss → entrepreneurship (and why panic kills options)
• Silence over hustle: how to hear God, set priorities, and build without burning out
• Forgiving yourself so you can finally move forward
• Structuring life for peace: no Monday/Friday meetings, focused Tue–Thu work blocks, systems that run

Get ready to hear directly from a mother on the weight of learning to live between grief and gratitude, carrying both loss and love in the same breath, and finding blessings in a life that no longer looked the way she dreamed it would.

When a Mother Can’t Fix It

In today’s episode, you’ll step into the raw, unfiltered reality of a mom who fell to her knees the day her son woke up blind—and what it truly means to keep going when prayer, pain, and love collide.

If you've ever carried someone you love through suffering—especially when the world told you there was nothing more to be done—this story will speak directly to you. When you're the one who holds it all together, yet suddenly find yourself helpless, where do you go? How do you keep believing, keep loving, and keep showing up when your heart is breaking?

Living Between Grief and Gratitude

In this special edition of Grit, Grace, & Inspiration, you will receive front-row access to a deeply emotional conversation taken from the podcast Momsday Bunker, hosted by Keri Henson.

In this episode, Keri sits down with Teresa Lowe—Kevin’s mom—where she opens her heart and shares the unfiltered journey of motherhood when it’s anything but easy.

A Life She Didn’t Plan — A Faith She Refused to Lose

Teresa tells the story of raising a joyful son, watching symptoms go undiagnosed for years, and the moment that shattered her world—the day he woke up blind. With vulnerability and strength, Teresa speaks about learning to live between grief and gratitude, carrying both loss and love in the same breath, and finding blessings in a life that no longer looked the way she dreamed it would.

This isn’t a neat, polished story—it’s the real, raw story of a mother learning to love through uncertainty, to hold space for pain, and to keep hope alive even when nothing makes sense.

From honoring River’s legacy to the birth of their son Maverick, this is a raw, faith-fueled conversation about loss, motherhood, and redemption.

About Amber Emily Smith

Amber Smith is a mother, speaker, and writer whose life was forever changed by the tragic loss of her 3-year-old son, River, in a drowning accident. At the time, she and her husband Granger were living what many would call a dream — a thriving music career, a young family, a beautiful home — until everything changed in an instant.

In the midst of unimaginable grief, Amber found herself crying out to God from the bathroom floor, where faith began to take root in her pain. Her story is not one of clean answers or easy healing, but of raw surrender, honest lament, and a steady return to hope.

Through the birth of their fourth child, Maverick, and the founding of The River Kelly Fund, Amber and her family have turned their deepest heartbreak into a living legacy — one that continues to reach and heal others walking through suffering.

When life shatters once, it’s devastating. When it happens twice… it’s almost unthinkable.

In this deeply moving conversation, Australian-born Kate Gladdin opens her heart to share a story no one should have to experience, much less endure the pain twice.

If you’ve ever faced a loss that made you question everything… if you’ve felt like your world stopped spinning and you didn’t know how to start again — this episode will speak straight to your soul. Kate’s story reminds us that resilience isn’t about staying positive when life breaks you — it’s about finding purpose in the pieces left behind.

Why You Must Listen:

• Hear the defining moments that transformed Kate’s heartbreak into hope
• Discover what resilience really means when you’ve lost everything — twice
• Walk away understanding how purpose and meaning can become your lifeline through grief

What’s It All About?

“This can’t be happening again.” Those were the words running through Kate Gladdin’s mind when tragedy struck not once, but twice.

First came the unthinkable — losing her sister Nicole in a tragic accident overseas. But through tears and determination, Kate launched The Nicole Fitzsimons Foundation, turning heartbreak into hope by helping other young people travel safely while living boldly — just as Nicole did.

Years later, just as life seemed to steady, tragedy returned. Kate’s beloved mother, Julie, was killed while crossing a quiet Wyoming street — another devastating loss caused by a repeat offender who walked away with little consequence.

And yet, Kate rose again. From grief, she built purpose. From injustice, she sparked change — renaming the foundation the Nicole & Julie Fitzsimons Foundation, now working to reform pedestrian safety laws while continuing to empower others to live courageously.

Through her pain, Kate has built a global mission — showing the world that resilience isn’t born from denial or blind optimism, but from the decision to live with purpose no matter what life takes away.
