In this special first episode of The Strength Source Podcast, we’re not only launching the show but also celebrating my amazing wife, Ramonda (Ro), on her birthday.

Join us we give glory to God and honor her strength and resilience by diving into two life-changing events: a home break-in while I was deployed and the 2011 Japan earthquake (Operation Tomodachi), where she made the difficult decision to stay behind while others evacuated.
