Episode 134: When Fear Takes Over | The Split-Second Decision That Changed Everything in Greece

Have you ever known exactly what you should do... only to let fear take over? While visiting Limanakia Second Cove outside Athens, our family experienced one of the funniest—and most painful—moments of our entire European adventure. It started with a hidden beach, an embarrassing "No Photo!" encounter, and ended with a sea urchin, a trip to a Greek pharmacy, and a lesson I'll never forget. Fear doesn't make us forget what's right. It causes us to panic. And in just one split second, panic can lead us to do the exact opposite of what we know we should do. In this episode of Summit After the Storm, I share how one unexpected family adventure became a powerful reminder that courage isn't the absence of fear—it's choosing faith when fear is screaming the loudest.

Episode 133: The Acropolis Changed More Than My View | A Timeless Lesson on Faith & Perspective

What if the greatest reward of reaching the top isn't the view... but the perspective you gain? After a long journey across Greece, our family finally climbed to the top of the Acropolis in Athens. Standing where philosophers, kings, and even the Apostle Paul once walked, I realized something that has stayed with me ever since: life looks very different when you climb above the chaos. In this episode of Summit After the Storm, discover why perspective is one of the greatest gifts God gives us, how the Acropolis became a symbol of leadership and faith, and why sometimes the best way to solve today's problems is to step back and see the bigger picture.

Episode 132: When the Journey Takes Longer Than Planned | What Greece Taught Me About God's Timing

Have you ever expected life to move faster... only to discover that the delays were part of God's plan? Our ferry arrived in Patras, Greece, ahead of schedule, so I was convinced we'd be in Athens by mid-afternoon. Instead, a series of buses, trains, transfers, and unexpected delays turned our travel day into an adventure that lasted until late that evening. Along the way, I discovered that life's most meaningful journeys rarely follow the itinerary we create. Sometimes God uses the transfers, the waiting, and even the uncertainty to prepare us for what's waiting at the destination. In this episode of Summit After the Storm, learn why delays don't always mean you're off course—and why God's timing is often better than our own.

Episode 131: Between Two Shores | What an Overnight Ferry Taught Me About Trusting God

Have you ever felt like you're stuck between where you've been and where God is leading you? Our overnight ferry from Italy to Greece became much more than transportation. As we watched one shoreline disappear before the next came into view, I realized that faith often grows in life's transitions. Sometimes we can't see what's ahead, but that doesn't mean God isn't leading us there. In this episode of Summit After the Storm, discover how one unforgettable night on the Adriatic Sea became a powerful reminder that God's presence is often most evident when we're between two shores.

Episode 130: The Hidden Treasure of Bari, Italy | The Best Lessons Aren't Always on the Itinerary

What if the most meaningful moments of your life aren't found in the places everyone talks about? After leaving Rome, our family spent a day exploring Bari, Italy, before boarding an overnight ferry to Greece. What we expected to be a simple stopover became one of the most memorable days of our journey. Watching local women make fresh pasta by hand, exploring centuries-old streets, and slowing down reminded me that life's greatest treasures often aren't found on the itinerary. In this episode of Summit After the Storm, discover why the places we almost overlook often leave the biggest impact, and how God uses ordinary moments to teach extraordinary lessons.
