This episode features Curtis, who recounts his journey from a "rebellious soul" to dedicating his life to Jesus Christ during his mission in Bolivia (1985–1987).Curtis shares how he faced "very very dark" years around age 50, when severe **financial and career trials** led him to lose "absolutely everything" except his family and testimony. He learned that committing to the gospel means accepting the trials necessary for the "polishing of the stone".The two most important lessons Curtis emphasizes are **trust in the Lord in all things** and **humility**. He also reflects on the challenge of raising a family, noting that parents must constantly rely on the Lord. Curtis concludes that our purpose is not to fix others, but to **"fix mine and be like Christ,"** encouraging listeners to embrace the commandment to "fear not," recognizing the Lord is 100% in control.
