Take a moment and think about your worst day. Perhaps it was the day you dumped coffee all over yourself right before you walked into work? Maybe it was the day your baby pooped all over your brand-new pants? Or maybe it was a very sad day when a loved one died? All these examples seem dire and even awful. Did your worst day involve your job? I believe one of the hardest jobs is law enforcement. My guest today is Jared Altic. Jared has dedicated his life's work to helping law enforcement. Being in law enforcement is fraught with dangers, making it one of the most dangerous professions. Officers regularly face life-threatening situations, from confronting armed suspects to navigating high-speed pursuits. The risk of physical harm is ever-present, whether during routine traffic stops, domestic disputes, or responding to active crime scenes. Additionally, law enforcement personnel are often targets of violence and may suffer from psychological stress due to the high-stakes nature of their work. The constant exposure to danger and traumatic events can lead to long-term mental health issues, such as PTSD. Despite rigorous training and protective measures, the unpredictable nature of their duties means that law enforcement officers must always remain vigilant, underscoring the significant risks they endure to ensure public safety. Join me as I walk in Jared's shoes.

When is it okay to be angry at God? Is there ever a time you have found yourself in that spot? My guest today is Julie Sunne. You would like by Julie's name that never rains or Julie has never had a bad day. We all know that is completely preposterous. Recovering from five miscarriages and four live births involves a multifaceted approach addressing both emotional and physical well-being. Emotionally, it is essential to seek support from loved ones, therapists, or support groups to navigate the grief and complex emotions associated with loss. Engaging in activities that promote mental health, such as journaling, meditation, or creative pursuits, can also be beneficial. Physically, it is important to work with healthcare providers to ensure proper recovery and address any underlying medical conditions that may contribute to pregnancy loss. Regular check-ups, a balanced diet, exercise, and possibly fertility treatments or interventions might be part of the physical recovery process. Emphasizing self-care, setting realistic expectations, and allowing time for healing are crucial for regaining balance and moving forward. Join me as we delicately walk in Julie's shoes.

Who is the hardest person to believe and trust? My guest today is Tim Stearns. I am guessing his name isn't jumping out to you? Oh wait, wasn't he in that movie "My Blue Heaven" that great 1990 film? Fun fact he was. Sort of...Tim is here to read his letter to Bob his Step-Father that became so much more. Having an earthly father provides invaluable guidance, support, and love, serving as a foundational pillar in one's life. A father shapes a child's understanding of strength, compassion, and responsibility, helping to navigate the complexities of the world. Equally vital, however, is the relationship with our Heavenly Father. Knowing God and putting faith and trust in Jesus Christ is paramount, as He offers the ultimate salvation from sin. Jesus’ sacrifice and teachings provide a path to eternal life, peace, and a profound sense of purpose. Embracing this divine relationship enriches our lives, offering hope and an unshakeable foundation that transcends earthly challenges. Join me as I walk in Tim's shoes.

How do you create a safe space for young people in your life? My guest today is Keri Cooper, LCSW NBCCH. Keri specializes in Holistic Therapy for Teens and Adolescents. Most of us know this right? Teenagers today often struggle to find a safe space to express their thoughts and feelings, a challenge exacerbated by societal pressures, social media scrutiny, and academic stress. Without a supportive environment where they can openly share their emotions without fear of judgment or ridicule, many teens internalize their struggles, leading to increased anxiety, depression, and a sense of isolation. Are you creating a safe space for teenagers? Having a safe space is incredibly valuable as it allows teenagers to explore and understand their emotions, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and build resilience. This nurturing environment fosters open communication, encourages self-expression, and promotes mental well-being, ultimately helping teens navigate the complexities of adolescence with confidence and support. Join me as I walk in Keri's shoes.

What do you do when facing something hard? Do you run from it or charge after the challenge ahead of you? Today my guest is Erin Whalen. Erin shares a very vulnerable letter and the thought process behind writing it. Writing a letter to someone when it's tough can feel like navigating a maze of emotions, each turn laden with the weight of unspoken words and unresolved feelings. The act demands courage and honesty, as you grapple with the vulnerability of exposing your inner thoughts. Yet, as you pen down each word, there's a cathartic release, a sense of clarity that begins to emerge. The process, though challenging, becomes a journey of self-discovery and emotional release. When you finally seal the envelope, there's an undeniable power in knowing you've communicated something profound and true. It’s a testament to your resilience and connection with the recipient, making the effort worthwhile. Join me as we walk in Erin's shoes.

What comes to mind when you hear or read Africa? Is it that great 80's classic by "Toto" It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa. Or is it the people? My guest today is Aron Boesl, who has a calling to the people of Africa. Aron has a powerful reason why you should too. Africa, with its diverse population and vast landscape, faces significant healthcare challenges, including limited access to medical supplies and services. MESA (Medical Equipment Supplies and Aid Sharing) addresses these critical needs by gathering and distributing excess medical equipment and supplies to developing countries, ensuring that humanitarian aid reaches those who need it most. By connecting donated medical resources to local organizations capable of dispensing and sustaining medical assistance, MESA plays a vital role in alleviating suffering and improving health outcomes. This mission is crucial in Africa, where the shortage of medical resources can mean the difference between life and death, and where timely support can empower communities to build stronger, healthier futures. Join me as walk-in Aron's shoes.

Have you ever seen a US Flag draped over a coffin? Have you seen the Service personnel fold this flag? I believe this is still one of the most impactful moments of my life, watching this take place is powerful, and emotional. Who is this "next generation" to answer this call to defend and perhaps die for this country? My guest today is Don Mann. Don is a former U.S. Navy SEAL. The U.S. Navy SEALs, officially established in 1962 by President John F. Kennedy, evolved from the Navy's Underwater Demolition Teams (UDTs) of World War II. These elite warriors were created to conduct unconventional warfare, specializing in direct action, special reconnaissance, counter-terrorism, and foreign internal defense. Being a U.S. patriot means embodying the values of courage, dedication, and selflessness, traits exemplified by the SEALs. It's crucial to strive to be stronger, faster, and smarter not just for personal growth, but to serve and protect the nation effectively. Individuals can contribute to a better society by doing something good for others, reflecting the SEALs' commitment to defending freedom and helping those in need. This ethos of continuous improvement and altruism strengthens individual capabilities and patriotism's collective spirit. Join me as we try on Don Mann's shoes.
