From Firefighter to Horse Trainer… You Won’t Believe This Story
WOULD YOU WALK AWAY? What would it take for you to leave everything behind…
Your career. Your identity. Your security.
In this episode of the 817 Podcast, we sit down with a man who did exactly that — walking away from a life as a firefighter to chase something completely different… all while discovering a deeper purpose along the way.
This isn’t just a career change story.
This conversation is about:
Facing real pressure in life-or-death situations
Wrestling with identity, fear, and uncertainty
Seeing how God shows up in the moments you don’t understand
Learning why winning and losing don’t define who you are
Developing the mindset to keep going when everything tells you to quit
You’ll also hear:
The raw realities of being a firefighter, including moments that will stay with you
The internal shift that changed everything
How one decision redirected the entire course of his life
Why chasing purpose is harder, but always worth it
The truth about resilience, faith, and starting over
This episode will challenge you big time.
It will make you ask:
What am I doing that I know I shouldn’t be?
What am I holding onto that I need to let go of?
Is fear the only thing keeping me where I am?
And maybe most importantly…
Would you walk away?
