What’s the point of building a business if it costs you your marriage, your joy, or your sense of self?

This week on the podcast, I sat down with two longtime friends - Dave Charlson ("King of Cat Litter" from the story I share in chapter 1 of God With You at Work) and Blair Reynolds, who are on a mission to help entrepreneurs grow emotionally healthy. These guys don’t just coach; they’ve walked through the fire of burnout, breakdown, and business identity loss… and come out the other side with tools that actually work.

Their message is clear:
1. You don’t need to sacrifice yourself or your family to succeed.
2. There is a better way - one that starts with rediscovering who God made you to be.

If you’ve felt disconnected, stuck in performance, or simply overwhelmed… this conversation will speak straight to your heart.

  • Top Symptoms You’re Not Okay
  • Why “strategy” won’t fix identity wounds
  • What happens when you find emotional safety + get honest
  • Real stories of breakthrough from clients like Mike Busby (CMA Album of the Year)

I said something careless that revealed an old belief I didn’t know was still there. So I did something simple but powerful: every week, I started writing her a handwritten card, each one affirming who she is at her core, not just what she does. Why?Bec...
Demon or Deadline? Why Stewardship Beats “Spiritual Attack” Excuses
When things go sideways in business, we often blame “spiritual attack.” Sometimes that’s real - we’ve seen it (including a six-year federal lawsuit one leader endured). But most of the time, the pain points are preventable: missed follow-through, weak systems, fuzzy leadership. This week, I share two real-world examples:• a founder who vacated leadership (and watched culture drift), and• a Chri...
12 Tips to Discern When to Change
