You can do everything “right” and still be sliding toward insulin resistance. After months away from the mic, Kevin shares the surprising moment that forced a full reset: labs flagged him as prediabetic even while he was lean, consistent in the gym, and stacking popular health tactics like intermittent fasting, fasted cardio, and daily cold plunges. That contradiction opens the door to a deeper conversation about metabolic health, A1C, and why more adversity does not always create better physiology.
We bring back Jody Gelly, a type 1 diabetic of 48 years, diabetes educator, mental health therapist, and health coach who lives with a continuous glucose monitor every day. Together, we break down what low and high blood sugar actually mean, how insulin works, and why macro-balanced meals matter more than extreme diets. We talk about carbs without fear, why keto and carnivore can slow metabolism over time, and the counterintuitive power of eating breakfast within 30 minutes of waking to calm liver sugar release and reduce unnecessary insulin demand.
The conversation also connects the dots between stress, cortisol, sleep, and cravings. Cold plunges, sauna, travel, overtraining, and under-eating all fill the same stress bucket, and that stress can raise glucose even without food. We cover how to use CGM data wisely, why quick post-meal walks can flatten spikes, and how a simple dust-to-dawn fast can replace punishing multi-day fasts while still supporting fat loss and stable energy. If you want practical blood sugar control strategies that support real life, this one will challenge your assumptions and give you a clear path forward.
If this helped you, subscribe, share it with a friend who’s stuck in the fasting and biohacking loop, and leave a review so more people can find it. What’s the one health habit you’re ready to rethink?

What if the fastest way to purpose is through chosen discomfort? That question runs through our conversation with James Ward—executive director of Beyond, endurance athlete, and mentor who believes resilience is trained, not inherited. From a five-and-a-half-month Appalachian Trail thru-hike to rigorous adventure-based cohorts, James shows how getting outside your comfort zone rewires your default settings for faith, work, and relationships.
We dig into the mechanics behind Beyond’s model: immersive three-to-five-day outdoor challenges followed by months of hands-on mentoring, all while students stay embedded in real life. No padded environments, no false confidence—just clear standards, tight-knit cohorts, and consistent coaching that translates hard-won lessons into daily habits. Along the way, we talk Tactical Games, community done right, and why accountability from peers can raise a young adult’s ceiling faster than any lecture.
The heart of our talk is resilience. James is candid about not being naturally tough and how mentors taught him to embrace “elective suffering”—small, intentional hardships that build capacity for the big storms. That idea turns visceral in the Just One Mile documentary, where a last-man-standing race collides with the sudden death of his father. Caught on film, his decision at the bell reveals the kind of training that shows up when life breaks your script: you don’t rise to the occasion, you fall to your systems.
We close with practical steps for becoming an uncommon man in a culture pulling toward comfort: settle the audience of your life (Galatians 1:10), choose the five people who shape you, set higher expectations, and start microdosing adversity today. Whether you’re a young man hungry for direction or a mentor ready to lead, this conversation offers a road map to courage, clarity, and purpose.
If this resonated, follow and share the show, leave a quick review, and send this episode to someone who needs a push toward their next chosen mile.

Think you’re doing everything right—clean diet, daily training, long fasts—and still dragging through the day with stubborn belly fat? You’re not alone. We unpack the uncomfortable reality that more than 90% of American adults show signs of metabolic dysfunction, and even the “healthy” crowd isn’t immune. Our story kicks off with a surprise pre-diabetes diagnosis despite elite habits, and a hard look at how fasted cardio, extended fasting, high stress, and under-fueling can quietly push insulin resistance.
Joined by diabetes educator and integrative health therapist Jodi Ghelli, we connect the dots between cortisol, liver glycogen, and insulin demand. Jody breaks down why “pre-diabetic” can be a dangerous comfort label, how the liver rescues you when you skip breakfast, and why that rescue comes with a cost. You’ll learn a practical macro framework—pair protein and carbs in roughly equal amounts with a little healthy fat—to stabilize blood sugar, lower insulin spikes, and unlock steady energy. We also clarify hypoglycemia vs hyperglycemia, when fasting helps versus harms, and how overtraining with under-eating keeps belly fat hanging on.
We get specific on what to test and why: fasting glucose, A1C, fasting insulin, lipid panel, CRP, ALT/AST, and the triglyceride-to-HDL ratio. You’ll leave with actionable steps to fuel workouts properly, plan small but mighty meals every 2 to 3 hours, respect sleep as a metabolic lever, and stop asking your liver to do a job your breakfast should handle. If you’ve been white-knuckling your plan and feeling worse, this conversation offers a smarter, kinder path that still delivers results.
If this helped, follow the show, share it with a friend who trains hard but feels tired, and leave a review so more people can find it. Your future self—and your metabolism—will thank you.

Listener Actions Steps (before the end of 2025!)
1️⃣ Get your fasting labs done.
2️⃣ Audit your habits.
Don’t just ask, “Am I healthy?”
Ask, “Are my habits supporting metabolic flexibility, or stressing it?”
3️⃣ Prioritize sleep + recovery.
Under-recovery can mimic insulin resistance.
4️⃣ Fuel your workouts properly.
Especially if you’ve been training fasted by default.
5️⃣ Share your results with someone qualified.
A coach, a nutritionist, or your naturopath — don’t navigate this alone.
6️⃣ Share this episode with someone who trains hard but feels tired.
They might be right where you were.

What if the most “successful” church strategies are quietly starving discipleship? I sit down with Alex Kocman of ABWE to unpack why missions and church life must be governed by Scripture, not trends, and how to recognize fruit that lasts. Alex’s own story—from predictable routines to telling the stories of nearly 1,000 missionaries—becomes a lens for rethinking the way we measure impact, send people well, and stay faithful when the numbers don’t sparkle.
We take a hard look at the church growth movement and how a simple missiological observation morphed into a marketing playbook. Alex explains why targeting a demographic may fill seats but can shrink souls, and why the Great Commission demands more than decisions—it demands disciple‑making and covenantal churches built around the whole counsel of God. Along the way, we tackle cultural flashpoints with open Bibles: the role of law and gospel in addressing sin, where gender debates truly surface around the world, and how mercy ministries create space for honest conversations about Christ.
A standout section addresses the crisis of male leadership in missions. Alex names the reasons single women are overrepresented on the field and offers practical, non‑gimmicky ways to call men into courageous service: heralding preaching, singable congregational worship, and a gathered posture that feels like a commissioning, not a performance. We also map out a healthy church‑agency partnership: churches identify, test, and send; agencies train, team, and sustain. To close, Alex previews his forthcoming book, Ordered to Love, which ties love of home to love of the nations, restoring an order of affections that fuels local faithfulness and global mission.
If you’re ready to trade quick wins for deep roots, this conversation will give you language, frameworks, and next steps. Subscribe, share with a friend who cares about missions, and leave a review with one change you’ll make in your church or small group.

Freedom isn’t a slogan to us; it’s a story forged in scars, second chances, and stubborn grace. David Earhart joins us on the patio to trace a path from junior-high rebellion and wilderness rehab to captaining teams at a Christian high school, then stumbling when performance couldn’t carry the weight of a broken dream. He opens up about marrying young, raising three kids, and facing a divorce that could have hardened his heart—but instead became the moment he ran toward God, not away.
The conversation shifts gears into career and calling. David breaks down the rocket-ship rise of First Solar and the hard pivot when subsidies vanished and prices crashed. His single most important marketing lesson is disarmingly simple: create value, deliver value, communicate value. We dig into how “menial” tasks like inquiry handling became a leadership engine, why vertical integration saved a business, and how excellence opens doors you can’t script. Then everything slows: an SUV hits him at 45 mph while he’s training for a marathon. First responders prepared his family for the worst; two weeks later he was running again. That miracle sharpened his purpose and sparked a new ambition to spend his best hours on eternal work.
Out of that resolve came Christianity Engaged, a video and social ministry reaching millions with clear gospel teaching and practical discipleship, and Hundredfold Marketing, a tentmaking agency that helps churches expand their digital reach. We get practical for pastors: why most churches underperform online, how to structure content for YouTube and social platforms, and how to unlock Google’s $10,000/month Ad Grant to drive meaningful traffic with GA4 and well-built Search campaigns. Along the way we talk house church discipleship, praying through thousands of requests, and the right way to support single parents without assumptions.
If you care about faith that holds under pressure, leadership that serves, and using modern media to reach real people, this one’s for you. Subscribe, share with a pastor or friend who needs these tools, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway so we can keep building conversations that matter.

What does it take to rewrite a story that started with homelessness, instability, and a 0.3 GPA? We sit down with Eric Jones, a nationally licensed mortgage broker and founder of The Jones Group, to trace the choices, mentors, and mindset shifts that turned rock bottom into a mission to help families and veterans build a stable future through homeownership.
Eric’s journey moves fast—from a shelter in Illinois to a middle class neighborhood shadowed by abuse, from getting kicked out at 18 to graduating with honors, from partying through freshman year to dropping out and finding mentors who demanded more. You’ll hear how “triple the jobs” and “send 20 applications a day” became turning points, why he chose skill stacking over short‑term pay, and how a leap into mortgage sales led to his first six‑figure year. More important, you’ll see how faith reframed his definition of success from income to impact.
We go deep on practical playbooks: finding mentors and proving you’re coachable, replacing excuses with volume and consistency, and using business as a tool for stewardship. Eric shares how inviting men to church built a small circle where two were baptized, and how mortgages can restore dignity for first‑time buyers, veterans, and anyone who needs someone to say, “There’s a path forward—and I’ll walk it with you.” If you’re stuck in a story you didn’t choose, this conversation offers clarity, courage, and steps you can take today.

What happens when a young man from one of the poorest countries on earth finds himself transplanted into the American dream? Del's story is nothing short of remarkable—a testament to resilience, faith, and the transformative power of opportunity.
Growing up in Haiti without running water, reliable electricity, or consistent meals, Del walked six miles each way to school, often on an empty stomach. As the oldest son in a family of seven, he shouldered adult responsibilities at just 16, working to help feed his siblings when his father couldn't provide. Yet rather than surrendering to circumstances, Del woke at dawn to teach himself English on a mountainside with nothing but determination and a tattered textbook.
This self-education became his passport to possibility when he connected with American missionaries visiting Haiti. Following the devastating earthquake, former NFL kicker Jay Feeley and his family gave Del an opportunity that would forever change his trajectory—a chance to come to America. The culture shock was immense; Del recalls being overwhelmed by everything from freeways to running water, noting that what Jay had in his closet alone "was worth a whole village in Haiti."
Seizing this opportunity with both hands, Del earned a soccer scholarship to Grand Canyon University, maintaining a 3.3 GPA despite English being his second language. Today, he's built a beautiful family with his college sweetheart, works successfully in landscape sales, and has become an accomplished poker player—winning eight of his last eleven tournaments. Through it all, he's remained grounded in his faith and committed to supporting those still struggling in Haiti.
Del's perspective on America is particularly powerful: "The poorest family in America could sponsor any family in Haiti." He firmly rejects victim mentality, believing that regardless of your starting point—especially in America—opportunity awaits those willing to work hard and make good choices. His story challenges us all to reconsider what we take for granted and reminds us that our proximity to the right people often determines our direction in life.
Listen now to this inspiring conversation that will shift your perspective on privilege, opportunity, and what it truly means to be uncommon.

Bek and Kev reunite in the studio after nearly a year to honor the legacy of Charlie Kirk – a friend, mentor, and truly Uncommon Man who left an indelible mark on our nation. Fresh from attending his memorial service, they share powerful reflections on how this extraordinary event felt more like a revival than a funeral, with thousands gathering in peaceful tribute.
Through personal anecdotes and thoughtful analysis, they explore the core values Charlie championed that made him such a transformative figure. From his ability to speak truth with love to his courageous stance during the COVID lockdowns, Charlie modeled a counter-cultural approach to manhood that resonated deeply with young people across America.
The most moving moment came when Erica Kirk, Charlie's widow, demonstrated remarkable spiritual strength by offering forgiveness to her husband's killer just weeks after the assassination. This profound act of faith left hardened men weeping and showcased the distinctive power of Christian forgiveness in a culture often driven by revenge.
Bek and Kev break down Charlie's most impactful sayings – from "courage takes no skill" to "live for more than yourself" – and discuss how these principles apply to parenting, marriage, and community-building. They reflect on raising teenage boys in today's challenging cultural landscape and how Charlie's example provides a roadmap for nurturing the next generation of courageous leaders.
Whether you were a longtime follower of Charlie Kirk or are just learning about his impact, this heartfelt conversation offers valuable insights about faith, courage, and living a life of purpose. Join us as we celebrate an uncommon man whose legacy continues to inspire a revival across America.

When we hear the word "church," most of us picture a building with pews facing a stage. But what if that image bears little resemblance to what Jesus and the apostles actually established?
Matt Anderson takes us on a journey back to the earliest Christian communities, revealing how the church was designed to function as a family rather than an institution. Drawing from over 20 years of ministry experience and deep study of the Book of Acts, Matt shows how the first believers gathered around meals in homes, creating intimate communities where discipleship, worship, and mission naturally flowed from their relationships.
The conversation challenges our modern assumptions about church structure and practice. We explore how the Lord's Supper was originally a full feast shared around a table, not just symbolic elements passed in tiny cups. We discover how early church gatherings were multi-generational, with older believers intentionally mentoring younger ones rather than segregating by age. And we examine how resources were shared generously to advance the gospel rather than maintaining expensive buildings and professional staff.
Perhaps most compelling is the reminder that Jesus said the world would recognize his followers not by their buildings, programs, or even their preaching, but by their love for one another. This profound truth suggests that our greatest evangelistic strategy isn't inviting people to services but inviting them into authentic, Christ-centered relationships.
This isn't about abandoning our current church experiences but about thoughtfully examining whether some of our traditions have drifted from biblical patterns. Matt's insights will inspire you to reimagine what church could be when built on the foundation of family relationships rather than institutional structures.
Subscribe now and discover what it might look like to recover the vibrant, intimate church community that turned the ancient world upside down. And stay tuned for Matt's upcoming podcast "Guarding the Good Deposit," exploring apostolic traditions from Christianity's first three centuries.

When Ryan Centers and his wife Sarah felt called to adopt a sibling group of five children from foster care, they knew their comfortable life with teenage children would be forever transformed. What they couldn't anticipate was how this decision would crystallize their family's mission and purpose in profound ways.
As leaders of multiple businesses serving vulnerable populations – from group homes for foster youth to residential facilities for individuals with developmental disabilities and luxury senior living – the Centers have created an uncommon family culture centered on teamwork, purpose, and kingdom impact. Their growing team of 400+ staff is making waves across Arizona while their family of eleven children (two biological, nine adopted) serves as the beating heart of their vision.
"Centers do hard things" isn't just a motivational phrase hung in their home gym – it's the foundation of their parenting philosophy. From 6 AM workouts with teenage sons to entrepreneurial ventures like their family snow cone business, Ryan intentionally creates opportunities for his children to develop grit and resilience. Unlike many modern parents who shield their children from difficulty, Ryan believes today's "anxious generation" suffers partly from lack of appropriate challenges.
This counter-cultural approach extends to technology management: no cell phones until high school, no social media until graduation, and tech-free Sundays. While initially met with resistance, these boundaries have created space for authentic connection and conversation. Ryan has witnessed the transformation when young people learn to make eye contact, engage in difficult conversations, and discover purpose beyond screens.
Perhaps most distinctive is Ryan's vision of family as a "kingdom team on mission" rather than individuals pursuing separate dreams under one roof. Through family meetings, service activities, and shared business ventures, the Centers operate as a cohesive unit working toward common goals. This mission extends beyond their immediate family through Friends of Ohana, their nonprofit helping foster youth develop workforce skills and independence.
Ready to rethink what family culture and intentional parenting can look like? This episode will challenge your assumptions while offering practical wisdom for creating a household that builds both character and kingdom impact. Visit ohanafriends.org to support their mission or join their upcoming Foster the Future golf tournament on September 19th https://www.ohanafriends.org/events/golf-tournament.

What happens when you find yourself unable to climb a fence while hunting, handing your rifle and pack to your friend because your weight makes simple outdoor activities impossible? For Brad Taysom, this humbling moment became the catalyst for an extraordinary transformation.
Brad shares his powerful journey of losing approximately 70 pounds and completely reshaping his health metrics in ways that extend far beyond the scale. His visceral fat dropped from dangerously high levels to well within healthy range, body fat percentage plummeted from an obese 39.8% to a lean 14.3%, and he shed 73 pounds of actual body fat while maintaining muscle mass.
The conversation explores Brad's first successful weight loss journey years ago when he lost over 100 pounds and became immersed in CrossFit, achieving 10% body fat. However, as life grew complicated with home renovations, growing family responsibilities, and the pandemic, his health gradually took a back seat. The weight returned, bringing with it diminished energy and capability.
What makes this episode particularly valuable is Brad's vulnerability about the pride that kept him from seeking help sooner and the mindset shifts that have made his current transformation more sustainable. He offers practical wisdom about creating lasting health habits despite rotating work shifts, family obligations, and major home projects. As he eloquently puts it, "You choose the right, you're going to feel good... I find a lot of similarities between health and fitness journeys and spiritual journeys."
For anyone who has achieved health goals only to see them slip away, or who feels too busy to prioritize their wellbeing, Brad's experience offers both inspiration and practical strategies. His story reminds us that reclaiming our health isn't just about looking better—it's about living fully and being present for the people and passions that matter most.

Sean Green's life story reads like an action film script, but with a depth Hollywood rarely captures. From the sun-drenched shores of Trinidad to becoming the oldest person ever to make the U.S. National Karate Team at age 51, Sean's journey exemplifies what happens when faith, discipline, and purpose align.
When Sean moved to America at age 10, he brought with him the military-like discipline instilled by his Caribbean Catholic school education. This foundation, combined with natural athletic ability that led to Division I track competition at Arizona State University, set the stage for his remarkable martial arts career. But what makes Sean truly uncommon isn't just his physical prowess – it's how he integrates his Christian faith with his passion for developing strong, biblically-minded men.
Drawing on his experience as both an educator and martial artist, Sean offers a refreshing perspective on what's missing in today's approach to raising boys. He pulls no punches when discussing the problems plaguing modern education: "We're still in this 'everyone gets a trophy' era" and "socially promoting kids who aren't academically ready because we're afraid to hurt their feelings." His solution? Create environments that challenge young men, require excellence, and provide strong male mentorship.
Sean's martial arts philosophy goes far beyond physical technique. He teaches that "meekness is strength under control" and emphasizes how training develops focus, coordination, memory, and discipline. For Christians who question whether martial arts aligns with their faith, Sean points to biblical warriors like David and Samson, reminding us that men are called to be "providers, protectors, priests, and prophets" in their homes.
Perhaps most inspiring is how Sean made the U.S. National Karate Team two decades after most competitors retire. Unable to match the speed of 20-year-olds, he studied the physics of fighting, mastering timing, distance, and momentum to overcome younger opponents. This same analytical approach and unwavering discipline characterizes his approach to faith, family, and developing the next generation of uncommon men.
Ready to challenge yourself physically and spiritually? Connect with Sean through his website https://gilbertmaf.com/ or social media (@greenesma4fitness on Instagram) to learn how martial arts can transform not just your body, but your character.

What if the hardest challenges in your life became the very things that shaped your greatest strengths? In this powerful conversation with Clay Linkous, we explore how intentional living can transform every aspect of your existence—even through life's most difficult seasons.
Clay shares his remarkable journey from childhood farm work to building a property management empire with over 800 doors in Knoxville, Tennessee. But the path wasn't smooth. From battling epilepsy as a young father (including a seizure while driving) to losing everything in the 2008 recession and rebuilding from scratch, Clay's story demonstrates extraordinary resilience. Perhaps most moving is his family's decision to adopt two severely traumatized children—a challenge he describes as "the hardest thing we ever had to do was something that we very clearly heard God say to go do."
What sets this episode apart is Clay's framework for intentional living. He reveals his "Seven Pillars" approach (Faith, Family, Friends, Fitness, Finance, Future, and Fun) that guides both personal development and family strategic planning. You'll discover how Clay implements this framework through annual goal-setting retreats and regular one-on-one conversations with each family member. This isn't just theory—it's a battle-tested approach that has produced remarkable results across generations.
Leaders will especially appreciate Clay's insights on organizational culture—defining it simply as "the behaviors that people do when no one's watching." His experience transforming healthcare organizations reveals why culture is never a "soft skill" but the foundation of performance in both business and family life.
This conversation goes beyond inspirational platitudes to offer practical wisdom on marriage ("love is a decision, not a feeling"), parenting, cultivating the right community, and living with gratitude despite circumstances. Whether you're building a business, raising a family, or simply seeking a more purposeful life, Clay's uncommon approach to freedom through intentionality will challenge and equip you.
Ready to discover what truly matters? Listen now and take your first step toward more intentional living.

What if you could design your life with the same intentionality architects use to design buildings? That's the powerful premise behind Jared Roth's approach to "life architecture," which he shares in this milestone 100th episode of the Uncommon Freedom Show.
Jared brings wisdom from his remarkable three-track career as a vocational minister, university professor, and business coach. Having started a church at 23, directed an MBA program, and helped grow businesses (including one that sold for $44 million), he offers a unique perspective on living with purpose across multiple domains.
The conversation explores how we've evolved from basic time management to role management and finally to comprehensive life architecture. Jared shares his framework for identifying your major life roles, prioritizing what matters most, and creating a blueprint that encompasses all dimensions of a flourishing life.
"You may see me hurry, but you will never see me harried," Jared explains, revealing how he maintains harmony across professional achievements and personal responsibilities. He provides practical strategies for making your life plan adaptable through regular refreshes, monthly audits, and intentional flexibility. Far from being rigid, true life architecture creates space for both structure and spontaneity.
Perhaps most profound is Jared's guidance on mentorship and coaching. His greatest regret? Not accessing the wisdom around him more frequently throughout his journey. He explains what great mentors look for (alignment and diligence) and why coaching relationships accelerate personal transformation better than isolated self-improvement efforts.
This episode serves as a powerful reminder that a meaningful life doesn't happen by accident. As Jared quotes, "If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much."

Something vital is missing in today's cultural landscape - authentic Biblical manhood. After a seven-month break, I've returned to the microphone driven by a conviction that the world doesn't need less masculinity, but rather more of the right kind.
This episode marks the beginning of a powerful new series called "The Uncommon Man," where I'll be showcasing extraordinary men who have shaped my journey. These aren't just successful individuals; they're men whose lives exemplify what it means to lead with integrity, courage, and tenderness. They're fathers, husbands, mentors, and friends who understand that true strength lies in sacrifice and service.
During my absence, my wife Becca and I faced some of the most challenging parenting decisions of our lives. Through this difficult season, I've become even more convinced of the critical importance of strong, biblically-grounded men in our families and communities. The confusion and distortion surrounding masculinity has created a vacuum that's being filled with passivity and uncertainty. Biblical manhood isn't toxic - it's life-giving, protective, and essential for healthy families and societies.
Whether you're a husband seeking to lead your family with greater purpose, a young man looking for examples of integrity, a wife hoping to encourage the man in your life, or a young woman setting standards for future relationships - this series has something profound to offer you. Join me for episode 100 featuring my longtime mentor Dr. Jared Roth, as we explore what it truly means to be an uncommon man in a world desperately needing examples of godly masculinity.

In today's episode, Kevin shares a sermon he delivered at The Garden Church in Bakersfield, CA. He begins by sharing the mosaic of experiences that have relentlessly shaped him, from navigating the early days of marriage and career trials to the quiet joy of adopting their daughter. Kevin's path has taken him from the disciplined structure of a Marine Corps officer through the grit of police work, to the profound burnout that pushed him toward a healthier, more intentional existence.
We examine the teachings of Jesus and their impact on living a life that's not just abundant, but also generous and service-oriented. It's a trek that's as much about becoming Christ-like in character as it is about finding our place in a distraction-filled world. I invite you to reflect on how these spiritual insights can be woven into the fabric of your daily life, enriching not just your path, but also those around you.
Lastly, we embrace the concept of stewardship, considering its place in marriage, family, community, and spirituality. It's about elevating every aspect of life through intentional living, a strategy that delivers freedom far beyond the ordinary. Join us for this journey toward an intentionally designed life.

Did you know that about 50% of Americans don't have a savings account with at least $400 to cover a financial emergency?
Teaching our children about finances NOW helps to form habits that can lead to a better relationship with money as adults.
Plus, major decisions like buying a car, getting that first job, or renting an apartment often all happen before the age of 25. Teens who haven't started to learn about the best ways to manage money, but need to make major purchases, are at high risk of making poor decisions that can plunge them into debt.

In part two of this two-part episode you will hear my riveting interview with the 2020 US Coast Guard Academy Honor Grad, LTJG Alaric Stone, and an attorney from the Thomas More Society (TMS), Steve Crampton. This episode was recorded a few hours before a fundraising event that we hosted for the TMS. TMS is a public interest law firm that specializes in representing clients facing persecution for religious beliefs other first amendment violations. LTJG Stone shares about his journey to attending college at the US Coast Guard Academy, which in of itself is an incredible accomplishment. However, his accomplishments continued as Stone was the Honor Grad for the 2020 graduating class. Stone shares how his Stellar career is being jeopardized by his religious conviction to not get the COVID vaccine due to the fact that every manufacturer uses aborted fetal cell tissue in their research and/or production. Mr. Crampton shares some of the cases that he has been involved in, especially the case involving LTJG Stone. Most Americans are clueless as to the amount of targeting that is happening by our federal government and military branches against people of faith. This episode will increase your awareness and probably give you goosebumps regarding how our freedoms are being eroded. Bekah and I offered a $75,000 dollar match to raise funds for TMS, so if you are able to support them we would be honored to have you join us in supporting this incredible ministry.

In this episode, my wife Bekah and I discuss some strategies we are implementing with our kids to help steward their appreciation for money. One of our primary parenting goals is not to raise spoiled kids, which in a society full of entitlement, takes a tremendous amount of intentionality.
One of the things our kids hear from us on a regular basis is this: “We aren’t trying to raise happy kids; we’re trying to raise thriving adults.” Over the past few months, we have seen a much greater appreciation of money from our kids, so we want to share this win with you. This episode will give you some ideas to use with your kids (or grandkids) to help develop their appreciation for money and to set them up for long-term Uncommon Freedom ® in your kids.

In this series of interviews, I have a conversation with my amazing friend Elisa Medina who is an incredible wife, mother, and impact maker. Elisa shares how the tragic and sudden death of her mother drove her to a life of drug & alcohol abuse and wild living in her teens. She fled to the northeast corner of the country to live with a family member who supported her wild living and even encouraged Elisa to get an abortion when she was confronted with an unplanned pregnancy. Elisa shares how there are no accidental parents as God used this unplanned pregnancy to pull her out of her wild life and get on a path to Uncommon Freedom®. Her father’s support and encouragement gave her the courage to keep her baby and move back to Tucson, AZ. After becoming a single mother, Elisa began working at Hands of Hope, a resource center for women facing the challenges of an unplanned or even unwanted pregnancy. She eventually became the CEO and served in that capacity until she stepped down in 2020 to be more present in her home. Elisa and her husband Fernando are currently focused on helping people thrive in their mind, body, and finances through their organization Medinas on Mission.
About Elisa: Elisa Medina is the Co-Founder of Medinas on Mission along with her husband Fernando. She is a certified Health and Wellness Coach and has a passion to see people thrive in all areas of their health...body, mind, and finances. Together they have four children and three grandchildren and reside in Tucson, Arizona.
Elisa spent 16 years serving in Pro-life Ministry. Most recently, she held the CEO position at Hands of Hope located in Tucson, Arizona until stepping down in 2020 to be more present in the home.
She is a gifted communicator, speaker, and mentor. She is often sought out to speak about pro-life issues, leadership, marriage and parenting, and healing from trauma. Her personal life experiences compel her to be vulnerable in order to connect authentically with her audience. Her ultimate life-long pursuit is to live and love like Jesus.

On Sunday, Jun 26, 2022, our family was in the middle of a “routine” church service when a commotion in the aisle led to a rapid evacuation by the majority of people sitting in our section. Because of the national tension created by the recent US Supreme Court decision regarding Roe. vs. Wade and threats from left-wing extremist groups like Jane’s Revenge (Jane’s Collective), people were on high alert and probably overreacted. It was my first time being in a chaotic situation like this with my family so it was a unique experience for me as well. Dylan share’s his perspective on the commotion, the fear induced by the evacuation, and then what he felt as he watched his father rush back into the chaos to help investigate and potentially neutralize the threat if any.

Okay, so grit might not be THE most important ingredient for Uncommon Freedom®, but it sure is at the top. The power of passion and perseverance is essential if you are going to live a great life and reach your potential. One of my favorite examples of grit from the Bible comes from the story of Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt in the Biblical book of Exodus. Moses’ grit in the face of obstacle after obstacle from a hostile foreign leader not only helped his people escape slavery and make their way to the promised land, but it changed the course of history. This story is a great reminder that pursuing the promised land and God’s will for our life will bring many challenges with it but the reward is worth the fight. I also address the natural temptation to fall back into the “bondage” of security when life is tough. How will YOU change the course of history with your grit?

In this episode, I talk about what I believe is the Ultimate Freedom, the one without which no other freedom matters. In the aftermath of the Roe V. Wade SCOTUS leak and the chaos left in the wake of that lack of integrity and accountability in our political system, the most important thing to address is what is abortion and when does life begin? Science has answered the second question, so logic answers the first question. Previously the biggest arguments for abortion are conceptions due to rape, incest, and cases where the mother’s life is in danger. But we have devolved into a society where the extreme left claims they enjoyed their abortion so much that they got pregnant again so they could have another abortion. The similarities between abortion and the other historical atrocities through the course of history (the Holocaust and slavery in America and the rest of the world) are clear and convincing if you are intellectually honest.
