Episode 22. Jumping right into the deep end with this one.

We're back baby.

What does it really take to make a relationship last?

This week, I sit down with Scott & Kathie — a couple who’s been married for 50 years (and yes, they still like each other… very much actually). They’ve lived through culture shifts, conflict, parenting, ministry, and personal growth — and they’re not just surviving marriage... they’re thriving in it.

Whether you’re single, dating, engaged, or already married, this conversation offers rare clarity on what it takes to build a great marriage that lasts.

In this episode:

• Scott & Kathie’s story of meeting and marrying young
• What marriage really is (and what it’s not)
• The triangle ingredients of a good marriage: commitment, passion & intimacy
• Why leaning on the Bible for truth matters — even if you’re unsure about faith
• Sex, premarital counseling, settling & trying to find the perfect partner
• What most people misunderstand about marriage
• Their hardest seasons — and how they worked through them
• How to manage conflict without losing connection
• The habits that keep their marriage alive daily, weekly & yearly
• How single people can prepare for marriage now (and how to know if you're ready)
• Forgiveness, communication, and why “I love you” still matters

Scott & Kathie don’t sugarcoat it — marriage is hard work. But it’s also one of life’s greatest gifts when it’s built on the right foundation. If you’ve ever wondered whether real love can last… this episode is for you.

What happens when the job you worked for… isn’t the one you want anymore?
 

In this episode, I sit down with Taylor — a sports broadcaster, fellow podcaster, and someone who’s walked through more than one career pivot in her 20s — to talk about the uncomfortable, honest, and sometimes freeing experience of changing direction.

Together, we unpack what it’s like to leave behind the plan you thought would work, wrestle with identity outside of a title, and reimagine what your career can look like when the path isn’t linear.

In this episode:

• Taylor’s story of finding (and leaving) the broadcasting industry
• Work life balance, sacrifices & identity tied to your job
• The difference between callings, roles & expressions
• The Odyssey Plan: 3 future paths & questions to ask yourself
• Practical tips for taking the leap (when you’re not 100% sure)

Whether you’re considering a career change, questioning what’s next, or feeling stuck in a role that no longer fits — this episode is a reminder that the path forward doesn’t have to match the one you planned.

Ever feel like you're chasing goals so hard you forgot how to enjoy where your feet are?

In this Clarity Moment, we talk about the burnout that sneaks in when you love what you do a little too much — and what to do when your identity gets tangled up in your work. From PGA Tour mindsets to Ted Lasso wisdom to what your 8-year-old self might say if they saw you today… this one’s a gut check.

What happens when your life begins on a plane that wasn’t supposed to exist?

In this episode, I sit down with Navara — a high school teacher, baseball coach, and lifelong mentor — to unpack his seemingly impossible adoption story and the wisdom he’s gathered over 50 years of living, losing, and leading with authenticity.

In this episode:

• Operation Babylift: Navara’s adoption during the Vietnam War
• The power of vulnerability, legacy, and reflection
• Why we scroll past life-changing lessons every day without realizing it
• Personal stories from his life — from coaching and small-town moments to the loss of his mom
• The quotes that shaped his outlook — and might reshape yours

Whether you’re questioning where you came from, where you’re headed, or simply how to make sense of the in-between — this episode is a reminder that the smallest lessons often shape us the most, if we’re paying attention.
