Episode 116 – Who’s Carrying You Through?
Who’s carrying you through life’s battles?
In this episode of the Unleashed Podcast, Brent shares raw updates from his open-heart surgery recovery, how encouragement from friends, family, and listeners has carried him through, and why recovery is never passive — it’s a fight. From early morning walks in the fall air to lifting light weights, he’s back in the battle, one step at a time.
Brent also recalls the influence of Art — a man who was like a second father to him. Even from an ICU bed, Art carried Brent’s excitement for deer season, sketching out a scope cover design when he could barely lift his arms. That moment left a permanent mark about the power of encouragement.
You’ll also hear about dangerous elk hunts with his friend Roger, and how setbacks — like surgery and unexpected injuries — reveal the importance of having men beside you when life knocks you down.
Through Scripture, Brent points to Moses, Aaron, and Hur in Exodus 17, Barnabas believing in Paul when no one else would, and Barnabas lifting up John Mark after failure. These stories prove encouragement isn’t optional — it’s kingdom work.
This episode is a challenge: don’t wait until someone’s funeral to talk about what they meant to you. Show up now. Be their Barnabas. Be their Aaron. Carry them through this life. Because encouragement is spiritual warfare — and it just might be the reason someone makes it through another day.
Scripture references: Hebrews 3:13, 1 Thessalonians 5:11, Exodus 17, Acts 9, Acts 15, 2 Timothy 4:11.
