Carl shares how a major personal setback and failure forced him to reinvent himself and recommit to his calling. He stresses the importance of authenticity, the dangers of making yourself fit the mold of others, and the valuable lessons he learned from a rough and tough upbringing. He dives into some very important topics for men including preventative therapy, understanding your story and wounds, and why having a safe space to confide in trusted people is essential for healing and growth. Carl reminds us that no one is perfect, everyone has struggles, and it’s okay to seek support. His story is one of resilience, faith, and finding the strength to move forward all while placing your ultimate faith in Jesus.
