Today’s episode is one that’s going to blow your mind. It’s a story with a great friend of mine who spent 10-years incarcerated, overcame addiction, and is now parenting a child who faces the same challenges and addictions he did.
Travis & and his wife of 22-years, Cyndy Barnes, go deep today and share the obstacles surrounding drug addiction, a 10-year prison sentence, life reestablishment, health issues, and now a daughter who is incarcerated and pregnant. You will also learn how Travis and Cyndy have managed to survive it all because of their love for each other, their faith in God, a lot of hard work, and their desire to overcome! They are living proof that love can conquer all.
When you talk about vulnerability, authenticity, resilience, faith, and IMPACT, this episode has it ALL. Travis and Cyndy epitomize IMPACT and are now doing amazing things in their community and through their “ministry work” at Journey Fitness 333. This episode is raw and full of insight, for adults and kids, about the influence of your surroundings, anxiety, stress, and fighting to find yourself and your personal identity. If you’re a parent, please listen to this episode and have an open and honest discussion with your entire family.
I leave you with one of my favorite verses, Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
