MINI #5
Apple Podcasts – Spotify – Amazon Music – Pandora – iHeartRadio
When the earthquake hit, I was in the shower. Fifteen seconds of violent shaking, fifteen seconds of relief… and then panic. Was my wife safe?
What followed was a desperate race home through steep hills and broken roads, and into a moment that changed my marriage, my mindset, and my definition of resilience forever.
In this episode, I share my true earthquake survival story — not just about escaping danger, but about how one terrifying day became the foundation for a stronger, more connected relationship. You’ll hear how we turned a life-threatening disaster into a lifelong reminder that if we could survive that, we could survive almost anything.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- How a sudden crisis changes the way you see your partner and your priorities
- Why survival stories are powerful tools for encouragement
- How to use your own moments of adversity to strengthen your resilience
- The mindset shift that makes everyday problems feel smaller
If you’ve ever faced hardship, fear, or loss — and come out stronger — this conversation will resonate.
