Grounded in Scripture and real-life examples (including miraculous healings), this episode empowers listeners to approach God boldly, trust deeply, and always seek His greater glory in their petitions.In this episode:

In this conversation, Dr. Ray Guarendi and Bear Woznick reflect on life, mortality, and faith. Dr. Ray recounts his recent triple bypass surgery and the humbling experience of recovery, realizing that even strength and fitness can’t shield us from vulnerability. Together, they discuss how aging, suffering, and death invite deeper reflection on eternity and God. They emphasize that many people—even in old age—avoid thinking about eternal life, which Dr. Ray calls the greatest delusion. Instead, Christians should remember death (memento mori) as a source of wisdom, live with faith in God’s reality, and anchor their families in truth. Evidence from science, miracles, and Scripture also points toward God, yet many ignore it. The conversation challenges men to live intentionally: to rise each day aware of mortality, strengthen family life, and stand in faith with courage.___________________________Catch every season of Long Ride Home - https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detai...Discover Bear Woznick Deep Adventure Mi

They challenge men to reject passivity, embrace virtue, and build strong families—mirroring St. Joseph’s example as protector and provider. Houck’s ministry, The King’s Men, calls men to courage, sacrifice, and authentic masculinity in a culture hostile to both faith and fatherhood.

The book aims to challenge men to embrace sacrificial love, humility, and holiness in marriage, all while admitting he himself is still learning.
