  28 Years of Marriage: The Highs, the Lows & Why We Never Gave Ourselves an Out

  Aug 18, 202642 min

  Send us Fan Mail WE NEVER GAVE OURSELVES AN OUT Divorce gets talked about like a normal escape hatch. We think that mindset is quietly wrecking marriages, families, and the next generation. After a long break, we’re back on the Uncommon Freedom Show to celebrate 28 years of marriage and tell the truth about what it actually takes to stay together when life stops being tidy. We share our top highs and lows, from the joy of births and an adoption that took a long fight, to military separation, loneliness, and the kind of grief that doesn’t resolve neatly. We also open up about one of the hardest seasons of our parenting life: making a gut-wrenching decision for our son’s safety during a time when substance use is minimized in culture, vaping is everywhere, and fentanyl is a real threat. We walk through the decision filter we used, how we kept from turning on each other, and why strong community matters more than most couples realize. Along the way, we talk about practical marriage rhythms like quarterly retreats, the danger of an entitlement mentality, and why we’ve tried to surround ourselves with people who edify marriage instead of tearing it down. We even get candid about intimacy and why we believe sex within marriage is a God-designed gift that can grow richer over time when it’s honored and protected. We end with our “top secret” for not getting divorced, and it’s simpler than you want it to be. If you’re married, dating, engaged, or rebuilding trust after a hard season, listen, share this with a couple you care about, and leave a review so more people can find the conversation.

  What I Got Wrong About "Healthy": Lessons From Reversing My Prediabetes

  Aug 4, 20261h 9m

  Send us Fan Mail You can do everything “right” and still be sliding toward insulin resistance. After months away from the mic, Kevin shares the surprising moment that forced a full reset: labs flagged him as prediabetic even while he was lean, consistent in the gym, and stacking popular health tactics like intermittent fasting, fasted cardio, and daily cold plunges. That contradiction opens the door to a deeper conversation about metabolic health, A1C, and why more adversity does not always create better physiology. We bring back Jody Gelly, a type 1 diabetic of 48 years, diabetes educator, mental health therapist, and health coach who lives with a continuous glucose monitor every day. Together, we break down what low and high blood sugar actually mean, how insulin works, and why macro-balanced meals matter more than extreme diets. We talk about carbs without fear, why keto and carnivore can slow metabolism over time, and the counterintuitive power of eating breakfast within 30 minutes of waking to calm liver sugar release and reduce unnecessary insulin demand. The conversation also connects the dots between stress, cortisol, sleep, and cravings. Cold plunges, sauna, travel, overtraining, and under-eating all fill the same stress bucket, and that stress can raise glucose even without food. We cover how to use CGM data wisely, why quick post-meal walks can flatten spikes, and how a simple dust-to-dawn fast can replace punishing multi-day fasts while still supporting fat loss and stable energy. If you want practical blood sugar control strategies that support real life, this one will challenge your assumptions and give you a clear path forward. If this helped you, subscribe, share it with a friend who’s stuck in the fasting and biohacking loop, and leave a review so more people can find it.

  Raising Resilience In A Comfortable World

  Mar 17, 202649 min

  Send us Fan Mail What if the fastest way to purpose is through chosen discomfort? That question runs through our conversation with James Ward—executive director of Beyond, endurance athlete, and mentor who believes resilience is trained, not inherited. From a five-and-a-half-month Appalachian Trail thru-hike to rigorous adventure-based cohorts, James shows how getting outside your comfort zone rewires your default settings for faith, work, and relationships. We dig into the mechanics behind Beyond’s model: immersive three-to-five-day outdoor challenges followed by months of hands-on mentoring, all while students stay embedded in real life. No padded environments, no false confidence—just clear standards, tight-knit cohorts, and consistent coaching that translates hard-won lessons into daily habits. Along the way, we talk Tactical Games, community done right, and why accountability from peers can raise a young adult’s ceiling faster than any lecture. The heart of our talk is resilience. James is candid about not being naturally tough and how mentors taught him to embrace “elective suffering”—small, intentional hardships that build capacity for the big storms. That idea turns visceral in the Just One Mile documentary, where a last-man-standing race collides with the sudden death of his father. Caught on film, his decision at the bell reveals the kind of training that shows up when life breaks your script: you don’t rise to the occasion, you fall to your systems. We close with practical steps for becoming an uncommon man in a culture pulling toward comfort: settle the audience of your life (Galatians 1:10), choose the five people who shape you, set higher expectations, and start microdosing adversity today. Whether you’re a young man hungry for direction or a mentor ready to lead, this conversation offers a road map to courage, clarity, and purpose. If this resonated, follow and share the show, leave a quick review, and send this episode to someone who needs a push toward their next chosen mile.

  How I Became Prediabetic While Doing Everything ‘Right’ — And Why 90% of Americans Are at Risk

  Dec 16, 202541 min

  Send us Fan Mail Think you’re doing everything right—clean diet, daily training, long fasts—and still dragging through the day with stubborn belly fat? You’re not alone. We unpack the uncomfortable reality that more than 90% of American adults show signs of metabolic dysfunction, and even the “healthy” crowd isn’t immune. Our story kicks off with a surprise pre-diabetes diagnosis despite elite habits, and a hard look at how fasted cardio, extended fasting, high stress, and under-fueling can quietly push insulin resistance. Joined by diabetes educator and integrative health therapist Jodi Ghelli, we connect the dots between cortisol, liver glycogen, and insulin demand. Jody breaks down why “pre-diabetic” can be a dangerous comfort label, how the liver rescues you when you skip breakfast, and why that rescue comes with a cost. You’ll learn a practical macro framework—pair protein and carbs in roughly equal amounts with a little healthy fat—to stabilize blood sugar, lower insulin spikes, and unlock steady energy. We also clarify hypoglycemia vs hyperglycemia, when fasting helps versus harms, and how overtraining with under-eating keeps belly fat hanging on. We get specific on what to test and why: fasting glucose, A1C, fasting insulin, lipid panel, CRP, ALT/AST, and the triglyceride-to-HDL ratio. You’ll leave with actionable steps to fuel workouts properly, plan small but mighty meals every 2 to 3 hours, respect sleep as a metabolic lever, and stop asking your liver to do a job your breakfast should handle. If you’ve been white-knuckling your plan and feeling worse, this conversation offers a smarter, kinder path that still delivers results. If this helped, follow the show, share it with a friend who trains hard but feels tired, and leave a review so more people can find it. Your future self—and your metabolism—will thank you. Connect with Jodi: Facebook: Jodi Deppert Ghelli IG: @jodi.deppertghelli Listener Actions Steps (before the end of 2025!) 1️⃣ Get your fasting labs done. Fasting glucose A1C Fasting insulin Lipid panel hs-CRP ALT/AST Triglyceride-to-HDL ratio These numbers tell the real story. 2️⃣ Audit your habits. Don’t just ask, “Am I healthy?” Ask, “Are my habits supporting metabolic flexibility, or stressing it?” 3️⃣ Prioritize sleep + recovery. Under-recovery can mimic insulin resistance. 4️⃣ Fuel your workouts properly. Especially if you’ve been training fasted by default. 5️⃣ Share your results with someone qualified. A coach, a nutritionist, or your naturopath — don’t navigate this alone. 6️⃣ Share this episode with someone who trains hard but feels tired. They might be right where you were.

  Measuring Faithfulness In A World Obsessed With Numbers

  Dec 2, 202538 min

  Send us Fan Mail What if the most “successful” church strategies are quietly starving discipleship? I sit down with Alex Kocman of ABWE to unpack why missions and church life must be governed by Scripture, not trends, and how to recognize fruit that lasts. Alex’s own story—from predictable routines to telling the stories of nearly 1,000 missionaries—becomes a lens for rethinking the way we measure impact, send people well, and stay faithful when the numbers don’t sparkle. We take a hard look at the church growth movement and how a simple missiological observation morphed into a marketing playbook. Alex explains why targeting a demographic may fill seats but can shrink souls, and why the Great Commission demands more than decisions—it demands disciple‑making and covenantal churches built around the whole counsel of God. Along the way, we tackle cultural flashpoints with open Bibles: the role of law and gospel in addressing sin, where gender debates truly surface around the world, and how mercy ministries create space for honest conversations about Christ. A standout section addresses the crisis of male leadership in missions. Alex names the reasons single women are overrepresented on the field and offers practical, non‑gimmicky ways to call men into courageous service: heralding preaching, singable congregational worship, and a gathered posture that feels like a commissioning, not a performance. We also map out a healthy church‑agency partnership: churches identify, test, and send; agencies train, team, and sustain. To close, Alex previews his forthcoming book, Ordered to Love, which ties love of home to love of the nations, restoring an order of affections that fuels local faithfulness and global mission. If you’re ready to trade quick wins for deep roots, this conversation will give you language, frameworks, and next steps. Subscribe, share with a friend who cares about missions, and leave a review with one change you’ll make in your church or small group.
