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)

It was internal. Pressure has a way of revealing what’s ruling your heart. Fear? Control? Shame? Or anchored identity? Crisis doesn’t create who you are; it exposes who you’ve been living as. In that m...

Feeling Pressure to Back Down? Do this now
When pressure rises and the noise gets loud, leaders are often tempted to shrink their vision, lower expectations, or retreat to what feels safe. Drawing from Nehemiah’s leadership under opposition, this message unpacks how to hear God at work and keep building when criticism, complexity, and distraction push you to back down. Anchored in Scripture and real-world business leadership, it reminds...
