This week’s episode is a little different. A few days before recording, my mom went home to be with Jesus, and it has been one of the hardest things I have ever walked through. She was my biggest supporter, my steady encourager, and the person who taught me what it means to love without limits.

In this reflection, I share three lessons my mom passed down to me that shaped the man, husband, and father I am today. We talk about loving people with your whole heart, choosing kindness even when life feels heavy, and finding joy in the moments that do not make sense. My hope is that her legacy encourages you to slow down, cherish your people, and lead your home with compassion and purpose.

If you have experienced loss or are walking through grief, you are not alone. I pray this episode brings comfort, connection, and a reminder of the hope we have in Christ.
