Don't Let Rigidity Creep Into Your Life (Monday Moment ep. 927)
One of the hardest aspects of my dad's battle with Parkinson's wasn't the symptoms most associated with the disease, like shaking or involuntary movements. For Dad, the real agony became rigidity. As the disease progressed, his muscles tightened and his body became almost frozen. Although his joy remained and his humor was unmatched, everyday life became impossibly difficult. I've been thinking a lot about Dad lately. And I've also been thinking about how frequently rigidity can creep into each of our lives. Let me explain.

Ten Years, Nearly 1,000 Episodes and One Big Lesson (Monday Moment ep. 925)
Ten years ago this month, we turned on a microphone. It was October 2016. Barack Obama was president, the Cubs were weeks away from winning the World Series, and Stranger Things was the rage. Podcasts, on the other hand, were something some people had heard of, but relatively few listened to regularly. We didn't launch the Live Inspired Podcast because podcasting was cool (it wasn't!) or profitable (it still isn't!). We launched because I wanted to better understand what allows some individuals to endure enormous adversity and somehow emerge stronger. I wanted to explore leadership and faith, failure and forgiveness, marriage and parenting, success and suffering. I wanted to better understand what makes a life matter. So we started asking questions. And ten years later, we haven't stopped.

Today, Jake shares how his childhood in rural West Virginia shaped his heart for service, the combat experiences that inspired his work fighting extreme poverty, and why he's now turning his attention to healing divisions here at home. We explore how listening with curiosity, serving alongside one another and choosing connection can rebuild trust and remind us how much we share. My friends, if you've felt discouraged by the division around you or wondered whether one person can make a difference, this conversation is for you.

The Gift of Waiting (Monday Moment ep. 923)
Math. Running. Swimming. Recalling names. Remembering birthdays. Paying parking tickets. This is a partial list of things I'm terrible at. For a far longer and more comprehensive list, please reach out to my family. Last week, at an urgent care clinic, I was reminded of one more thing that belongs on that list: Waiting. Let me explain.

What One Year of SOUL ON FIRE Has Taught Me (Monday Moment ep. 921)
Anniversaries give us permission to do something we rarely allow ourselves to do: Stop racing forward, turn around and look back at the road we've traveled. They invite us to remember what once seemed impossible, recognize the people who helped make it happen, count blessings we often hurry past, give thanks for all that has been—and imagine with hope all that might still be. And as the one-year anniversary of the world premiere of Soul On Fire approaches, I want to do exactly that with you. Let me explain.

Wayne Connell: Seeing Beyond Invisible Disabilities (ep. 920)
Wayne Connell is the founder of Invisible Disabilities Association, an organization he launched 30 years ago after watching his wife, Sherri, navigate debilitating illnesses others couldn't see or understand. As her husband and caregiver for 32 years, Wayne has turned that deeply personal experience into a lifelong mission to help others living with invisible disabilities to feel seen, believed, and valued. Today, Wayne shares what decades of caregiving have taught him about love, why believing someone can be one of the greatest gifts we offer, and how to better support those carrying struggles we cannot see. We also discuss the difference between fixing and simply being present, the assumptions we make about others, and the power of listening. My friends, if you're carrying an unseen burden or love someone who is, this conversation is for you. You'll be reminded to slow down, listen well and recognize the value in every person you meet.
