You get Rick Cheatham —a man who’s walked through the literal and figurative flames and came out not just standing… but speaking life into others.

From navigating decades of firehouse heroics to the gut-wrenching loss of his son, Rick’s story is a raw, real-life masterclass in resilience, redemption, and learning how to walk again—literally—after breaking his neck just five months into retirement. (Spoiler: He told his therapist he was gonna walk out of that hospital, and spoiler #2—he did .) We tackle the messy middle of sex addiction, the highs of a 40-year marriage rebuilt on servant leadership, and the power of choosing forgiveness when bitterness feels like the easier roommate. He shares how the trauma he once buried became the very foundation of his purpose—and how a one-armed, no-legged speaker from Dubai cracked open a new identity when he needed it most. If you're someone who’s ever asked “Why me?” , this episode gently—and hilariously—invites you to start asking “What now?” ✨ Get ready to laugh, cry, and maybe rethink that grudge you’ve been lovingly feeding like a pet lizard.
