  • The most important Dad-Son conversation.

    This was a very personal conversation with my Dad, I am putting it here so that I can hear it over and over again and probably play it to my children; to learn more about their lineage.


    Also, I do want anyone out there who lands on this to hear about The Grail Message.


    All Glory is to God, Amen.

  • The Reason You Can't See Yet

    The Reason You Can't See Yet

    "Everything happens for a reason." It's one of the most common things people say — and one of the most painful things to hear when you're in the middle of loss, grief, or failure.

    In this episode, we sit with that tension honestly. Why do we so easily accept a reason for a delayed flight, but refuse to believe there could be any reason at all for losing someone we love? And what does it really mean when we can't find a reason that benefits us directly?

    This episode challenges the quiet selfishness in how we process hardship, explores what faith says about whose good things are actually working toward, and offers a mindset shift that could change how you move through every season of your life — the painful ones and the good ones.

    Because the reason may not come in the moment. It may not come for years. But having the right posture means that when it does arrive, you'll recognise it — and you'll find yourself grateful for the very chapter of your life you once wished had never happened.

    • Talk Is Cheap!

      Talk Is Cheap!


      Okay, if talk is cheap. Why are you not talking?

      The people who talk the talk and don't walk the walk keep getting all the recognition, while those who believe they can get things done stay silent.


      If we continue to keep silent we will leave the beginners to be prey to these wolves in sheep's clothing.
