I share my journey of faith, service, and leadership within the fire department. I talk about the importance of finding purpose in pain, the heart of service, and the role of family and faith in overcoming adversity. I cover the significance of humility in leadership and the power of community in transforming lives. I encourage listeners to live with purpose and to allow their hearts to be shaped by Jesus and their faith.

The book I quoted as Sacrificial Marriage is actually Scared Marriage
