Let’s Talk Fortitude

60. Mart Goff Noe | Two Weeks to Forever | Author and Childhood Friend | Pastor John & Hope Goff

Marty Goff Noe is one of my all-time favorite childhood friends! We were next-door neighbors for approximately seven years. Some years of which her mom and dad, Hope and John Goff, played a massive role in my life. They stepped in and helped my dad when my mom and dad separated. They would take me to church, get me off to school, take me on church retreats, but most of all, they loved me! Marty's book "Two Weeks to Forever" is an excellent read! This comes from someone who reads Bible commentaries, biographies, prepping, etc. It was a very eloquent read and very tastefully written. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Moreover, I hope you enjoy my interview with the author, Marty Goff Noe, as we dive into what inspired her to write this. 

Two Weeks to Forever can be purchased here! 

59. Randy Beausoliel | Former Navy SEAL | 2A | Home Defense | Body Armor | Tactical Training | EDC

Having my friend Randy Beausoleil back on the podcast is always an honor and a pleasure. Randy is a former Navy SEAL with 34 years of service to our country. Randy was instrumental in getting the Navy's JTAC program developed and operating correctly. He was Platoon Leader and sniper leader of the only combat swimmer operation to date when he and three others blew up Manuel Noriega's boat during Operation Just Cause. Randy is also a published author of "Un-Wavered" and Pilot. This episode discusses our 2A rights, EDC, Home Defense choices, body armor, and tactical training. Randy was also a guest on the Never Quit Podcast with Marcus Luttrell. Please subscribe, share, like, and leave a comment.

58. Jason Creel | The Lawn Care Life

I have been watching Jason for several years via his YouTube Channel, The Lawn Care Life. Jason is a man of faith and isn't ashamed to share it. He has helped thousands by explaining DIY methods for killing weeds and fertilizing yards. Jason also advises those who are inspired to start their own businesses. You can follow Jason on his YouTube channel, The Lawn Care Life.

57. Reggie Woodrum | From Deep In The WV Appalachian Mountains | Talking Faith | Coyote Trapping | Barber Shop

Reggie and I are from the same county in Southern West Virginia. Reggie posts many pictures of his coyote trapping, family, and church on his FB page. It is easy to see what is essential to Reggie and where he puts his priorities.

56. Keith Graves | Lakewood Church Shooting | Congregation Reaction Active Shooter Situations

Keith Graves retired from the LAPD after 30 years. He uses that experience to train church security teams across the United States and offers a plethora of online training at no charge. I asked Keith about the typical reaction of congregations in an active shooter situation. His answer was alarming. Unfortunately, our time has brought us to this point. Keith has a YouTube channel, and I will provide the link below. Please tell your Pastoral Staff about Keith.
Moreover, ask your Pastor if your church has a security team. I will leave the link below to Keith's video, which breaks down the officer's reaction during the Lakewood Church shooting. Thank you for watching. Please share, leave a comment, like, and subscribe.

55. Father & Son Mark and Grant Taylor | Permission To Fail | A Father's Prayer for Struggle

I first met Grant on my WFR Retreat a couple of years back. I met Grant's father, Mark, on the Fall 2023 WFR Retreat and immediately felt as though I had known Mark my entire life. After several conversations throughout the weekend, I knew I had to get Mark on the podcast. It just so happened that we got Mark and Grant on together. Todd and I agreed that we have never laughed so much at any other podcast we have recorded. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did.

In this episode, Brent, Collin, Bigs, and Todd share how the Retreat Ministry, accountability, relationships, and discipleship have played a huge role in their individual spiritual growth and the growth of the group.
