  • Amy & Her Dad

    In this special Father’s Day episode, I sit down with my dad — Ron — a man whose story has shaped so much of who I am.

    From his days as a fighter pilot to becoming a commercial airline captain, his life is a testament to courage, faith, and perseverance. But more than his career, it’s the way God moved in his heart — and in ours — that has left a lasting impact.

    We talk about life’s highs and lows, the power of prayer, and the lessons he’s passed on to me. This conversation means the world to me, and I hope it encourages you too.
