Sixteen years,and no chance to say goodbye. Pt 1 of 2 27.12.2025 1:15:29
After sixteen years together ,sudden loss leaves far more than heartbreak.- it leaves unanswered questions and emotional disturbances. Today ‘s episode centers on spousal loss,the gut wrenching unpredictability of grief,and the ways sadness revisits long after others expect you to be “ okay”. It’s a reflection on love,illness,transparency, and the complicated aftermath of having to say goodbye ,be...
A life sentence 26.07.2025 7:13
When you think “you can have your cake and eat it too”as the folks say. This is a story brought to you by the man himself. Advice and warnings all around. Never become so involved on either side.
Protected by Strangers, I was never alone 21.01.2025 59:35
Feeling abandoned,alone,scared,and up against a wall. The shadows loom heavy and suffocating,as the echoes of despair whisper. In the stillness of the night,when the world is asleep,heartache rises like a threatening tide to engulf you. Every heart beat a reminder of what you’ve lost. But when you’ve had enough,you’ll know. Sorrow and tears turn to strength letting her rise from what brought her t...
The streets aren’t always green 03.07.2024 36:22
Growing up in non traditional environments takes a toll on most. But even more when it’s caused by some lapses in judgment by those who love you most. When you suddenly realize their reality could very well become yours,you make the decision to do life differently. So that’s what this guy does. Listen in.
Hungry friends in “the” space 26.06.2024 42:21
It’s not the end all be all, when paths we see ourselves on don’t pan out. At least not in the traditional sense. Mom and dad told us we needed to be “there”,be a success. What guidance did we really have to set us up for life? Life as it happens,gives no regard to hypothetical situations. MJ explains.
We call that conversation a prayer 19.06.2024 43:50
As small children we learn and develop into who will be down the road. Some lines may be a bit more hardened,and clarity not so clear. But a relationship with Christ can never be mistaken for anything else. What our parents teach us as children travels a long way,and most times as the unwanted passenger. But not always. This story is an example of that.
Part 2: I couldn’t protect her 12.06.2024 46:42
In part 2 ,Tomas continues to take us on his journey through a domestic abuse filled with childhood. He lets us know,very clearly that you don’t have to stay there,you don’t have to become a product of a bad environment.
I couldn’t protect her 05.06.2024 55:25
* Mentions of abuse. Every story we share is our own. It happened to us when we thought it didn’t happen to anyone else. Most often we are incorrect in that thought. How could this be my life. A very special man today shares what he went through growing up,and how he very quickly became the “man of the house” before he knew it. We all must go through something, how equipped are you ?
Why Memorial Day ? 27.05.2024 3:20
A little glimpse
A Big Glass of Sweet Tea 08.05.2024 11:49
Can you walk in Sadie’s shoes? Well only just a little. I don’t think you’d want them on for long. She’s got a deadbeat pop
The Decision 01.05.2024 34:03
You’re uncertain in this life the path in which to take. People giving opinions of what you should do with your life,when it’s your life. But then you don’t want to disappoint your family,so you do what you,or they,feel is best. And most times we don’t arrive at the hard decisions easily, will we ever truly know if the one we chose was the “right” one? No,and that’s alright. Stay tuned to hear wha...
Daphne day 24.04.2024 54:24
Today’s story is one of heartbreak, falling down in grief,and getting back up. This father tells us about his beautiful baby girl that he shares with his wife,and just how he was able to make it back to life. Surrounded by amazing people of faith and strength.
California and J. Murray 17.04.2024 35:38
When looking at him you wouldn’t assume what he shared today would be his story. Never judge a book by its cover they say. Read its pages so you’ll know the story,beginning to end,and even that sometimes isn’t enough. That is certainly the case with Ricky,an amazing guest who has been dealt the unspeakable,and has lived to tell about it. Continuing to give God the glory.
Report cards and old school parents 10.04.2024 36:38
Today’s guest goes back in memory recounting how he grew up,and what it meant to get “the look”.Coming up with parents who parented, and who simultaneously shaped their children for the future. Loving your children means a whole lot more than telling them so. Sometimes it’s the hard parts that leave the lasting impressions,preparing them for the future.
The “Act Right” Era 03.04.2024 1:05:26
As time passes,and we are blessed to age experiencing life along the way,you’ll realize your potential. The sky is truly the limit and sometimes there are a few that reach exceedingly beyond that. Take a trip with me as Mr. Larry tells of a life and career one could only dream of. Astounding accomplishments humbly recounted. Life is the only journey that we will never complete~ Larry Ford
Stand on your feet. Yeah Definitely. You know? 27.03.2024 52:29
As a man there is a lot placed upon your shoulders. As a father that weight becomes immeasurable. But you do it without a second thought. The stress,the weight and unchecked down time can create a world like you’ve never known. Listen in as Alex speaks about actions and consequences.
Every Five Years 20.03.2024 55:40
Change occurs when you want it most. No matter the reason the course is typically the same. Listen as our guest today shares how he set a path for himself and if he failed or succeeded at it. One yes,erases every no.
Reality Sobered 13.03.2024 10:01
Our guest today shares a childhood experience. That experience becomes her adult reality,even when she knew it was wrong it didn’t stop her. Unaffected,and unaware of the chaos that would follow.
We Never gave up on us 06.03.2024 41:10
Path travelers have seen the bad times come and go,just like the good times. But it’s the memories,the journeys,the hard roads that you, like today’s guests look back on and say it was all worth it. Never giving up on what you want in this life. And there could not be two people better qualified to share those stories on just that.
Doin’ it first jazz man 28.02.2024 54:24
When things are not at their finest for a time,you can’t help but ask yourself why and how is this possible? It all seemingly impossible for some and limitless for others. Hear a tale of a love that wouldn’t die. Withstanding what we cannot imagine.
Deep-seeded, but why ? 21.02.2024 35:32
*Be advised there are some volume deficiencies in the latter part of this episode. I do apologize.* What do you do when you don’t know the root of your anger,what do you do when it’s put to an ultimate test? The young man today tells us how he saw a way through it,survived it and is now looking for the best ways to recognize when it’s too much,and knowing when and how to deal with trying situation...
A Traumatic Blessing 14.02.2024 39:27
In this life we do not know what to expect in our children. In pregnancy our job is to get them here,care for and nurture them. We are to protect them. While we navigate blindly, God is at the helm. This story is so much more than a blessing. The way it unfolds is beautiful.
Judge me 07.02.2024 37:07
Which are you when life comes towards you with an opportunity to self reflect,would you take it,or leave it? Correct the wrongs and learn how to be a better person? Some don’t get this chance,and some squander and take it all for granted. And then there are the rest.
Ashamed?NOPE,sometimes it takes a little trouble 01.02.2024 1:12:36
When a man lives out “walking the talk.”Having gone through an amazing ordeal, he has learned,grown and regrets nothing! Now living out a new chapter in his life, listen in, it’s a beautiful thing he and his family have going on.
