Forgetting David: Recent Episodes

"Let's live from a place of hope and healing instead of hurt and bitterness."The title, 'Forgetting David', came from a joke between my wife and me. Things hadn't been going too well, no matter how hard I tried. Obstacles and setbacks were coming at me like a freight train. I'm a fighter and pride myself on perseverance. This year's baggage became too much and I was humbled. I cannot do it all, even though I want to. When Katie and I were talking, I said, I am sick of 'David'. I don't want to be him anymore. I am now 'Dave', 'Dave Burke'. We laughed hard! I took that joke and realized I have been trying to forget my story - my whole life. This isn't good, I thought. A spark went off in my heart and a new beginning was hatched. We live in a hurting world and I am exhausted from seeing, feeling, and inflicting pain on others. That is not who I am at my core. I want to use this podcast as a way to reach out and have conversations about transformation. A transformation that leads to the restoration of who you are meant to be. Using my own stories and the stories of others will be my way to see how we are all connected with one commonality. What's the commonality? Subscribe and Listen my friends. All are welcome!

YeeHaw! Let's talk about suffering, on this chilly November morning.
This episode we take a look at suffering on the outside, all around us as well as internal suffering.
The Hope in the struggle. The Help through the struggle. He uses us as we are, he changes us when we trust and follow. He may not heal you on this side of heaven, completely, but I guarantee you He will use you for His glory.

All Hearts need Hope and Healing from the hurt they carry. We are not designed to carry it alone. We don't have to. I am here to teach a better way. There IS Hope and Healing available for us. I believe it's possible to find These and rest for your soul, through the stories of others. Our stories may be different but we can help each other gain an understanding through sharing. Authentic stories which need no script. That's the goal here. That is the mission of Forgetting David. You can insert your name after Forgetting _____________. We are not forgetting, we are living from a different place within ourselves.

Hi! I’m Dave Burke. Welcome to the Forgetting David Podcast.
I am The David in the title. This episode is an introduction to the meaning and purpose behind Forgetting David.
In short, I want to live a good life and care for those I love. I do have this and strive to live this way. Something had been missing for the most part. When setting down the path I think is good, I end up stumbling and fumbling. Living from a place of fear and doubt instead of love and peace. Love and Peace comes from Faith.
This year,2022, I turned 50 and many unexpected speed bumps began to arise. This eventually turned into broken roads that I could not longer maneuver and something had to change.
I remembered something from when I was 12 years old and always have carried it with me. This thing, I carried, made me feel good but uneasy, sure but doubtful, courageous and scared. All opposites! These things working together all the time. It’s how we respond to them that makes a difference. This is where I needed most help. Responding well to things I do not know, understand or fear. I also needed better intention behind my decision making.
A change started in me this year. I am still perfectly-imperfect, but changing for the better daily. As I seek answers and truth my identity and purpose are beginning to take shape! Each path I have taken has been my choice. What we want (or think we want) may not always be what we need.
I hope you join me on this journey and share in the process of reaching out to help our brothers and sisters that are feeling stuck, unsure, afraid, angry, bitter or lost. We can be the solution together.
