What if the thing holding you back from peace… was something you’ve been carrying for years? In this deeply personal and soul-stirring episode, Ryan unpacks the truth about forgiveness—not the easy kind, but the real kind. The kind that costs you comfort but sets you free. We talk about the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, what resentment does to your soul, and why choosing to let go isn’t weakness—it’s strength in its purest form. From real stories to hard-earned wisdom, this is a message for every dad who’s tired of hurting, tired of hiding, and ready to heal.

Because peace doesn’t come from payback. It comes from surrender.

"True gratitude isn’t just about being thankful for the blessings—it’s about being grateful for the storms, the losses, and the struggles. It’s about shifting your perspective from ‘Why me?’ to ‘Thank you, God, for choosing me.’ And when you do that, you don’t just survive life… you become stronger, wiser, and ready to help others do the same."
