179. An Interview with Jesse

<p>I thought that it would be fun to sort of turn the tables around a little bit and interview Jesse, who just recently had his forty-second birthday!</p> <p>Jesse has a lot of wisdom to share. Having endured a lot such as his parents getting divorced and losing his mother, he shares some of the biggest life lessons he has learned over the course of his life, lessons that he hopes to impart to our children.</p> <p>We also talk about how important it is to take risks and face fears. Jesse had to do that when he went to law school and started his own firm, and we both had to face fears when we went into fostering. All in all, you never know where a leap of faith or even just a baby step will take you!</p> <p><br /> <strong>In This Episode</strong><br /> [01:13] – Jesse had a big birthday recently.<br /> [01:39] – I am interviewing Jesse in this episode!<br /> [03:01] – Jesse recently finished reading <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Fortitude-American-Resilience-Era-Outrage/dp/1538733307/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=fortitude+dan+crenshaw&qid=1663990707&s=books&sprefix=fortitude%2Cstripbooks%2C115&sr=1-1"> <em>Fortitude</em></a> by Dan Crenshaw.<br /> [04:28] – Jesse also started reading <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/People-Are-Mission-Churches-Compromising/dp/031053867X/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=people+are+the+mission&qid=1663990765&s=books&sprefix=people+are+the+mission%2Cstripbooks%2C168&sr=1-1"> <em>People Are the Mission</em></a> by Danny Franks.<br /> [04:58] – I am reading <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Remarkably-Bright-Creatures-Shelby-Pelt-ebook/dp/B09BNH4TLW/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=remarkably+bright+creatures+by+shelby+van+pelt&qid=1663990826&s=books&sprefix=shelby+van+pelt%2Cstripbooks%2C97&sr=1-1"> <em>Remarkably Bright Creatures</em></a> by Shelby Van Pelt.<br /> [07:48] – Hear what I have been learning from the book!<br /> [09:20] – What has been saving my life this week?<br /> [12:47] – Jesse shares what has been saving his life.<br /> [15:16] – I remind you of Jesse's recent birthday.<br /> [17:24] – What are a
