Two Divorces, One Savior: How the Atonement Continues to Heal - the Michael Gregson Story

What happens when life doesn’t go according to plan?   In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Michael Gregson shares his journey through trauma, heartbreak, addiction, recovery, and ultimately healing through Jesus Christ. From the pain of enduring two divorces to the loneliness of being separated from his children, Michael opens up about some of life’s most difficult moments and the lessons he learned while walking through them.   We discuss the reality of addiction, the courage it took to enter rehab, and the ongoing journey of sobriety. Michael shares how he learned to challenge the stories he was telling himself, find peace after years of anger, and begin loving himself through the eyes of a Savior who never gave up on him.   Most importantly, we explore the healing power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ—not as a one-time event, but as a daily source of strength, grace, and transformation. Michael reflects on the blessings that have come from his trials, the unconditional love of the Savior, and how Christ’s healing influence continues to work in his life today.   Now a life coach, Michael uses his experiences to help others navigate trauma, recovery, self-worth, and personal growth, offering hope to those who may feel stuck, broken, or alone.   This is a conversation about redemption, resilience, and discovering that your story isn’t over—even when life feels shattered.   Topics Discussed:   * Healing from trauma   * Surviving two divorces   * Coping with separation from your children   * Addiction, rehab, and sobriety   * The healing power of the Atonement   * Finding blessings in life’s hardest seasons   * Learning to love yourself   * Changing the story you tell yourself   * Finding peace after anger and resentment   * The unconditional love of Jesus Christ   * Michael’s journey to becoming a life coach   * Hope, healing, and second chances   Two Divorces, One Savior: How the Atonement Continues to Heal — The Michael Gregson Story    Available now on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify.

Faith, Fatherhood, Trump & Trying to Hold It Together | Just Me #25

This month's Just Me gets real.   We’re talking about the pressure men carry quietly… trying to lead families while feeling exhausted inside, relationships and accountability, whether there’s such a thing as “the perfect person,” missions and major life decisions, politics, faith, masculinity, Trump, the Sacramento Kings, cognitive consistency, and why so many people today feel like they’re barely holding it together.   I answer listener questions about:   • Choosing missions vs major opportunities   • Relationships and settling vs waiting   • Dealing with manipulative people who avoid accountability   • Fatherhood and the moment you truly feel like a man   • Why modern men feel emotionally trapped   • Trump, Reagan, conservatism & political hypocrisy   • LGBTQ conversations, Charlie Bird & ideological gatekeeping   • Mental exhaustion, spirituality, gratitude & perspective   Also… yes, we somehow end up discussing reality TV, the Kings draft pick, restaurants, and photons acting differently when observed.   Because apparently this podcast has become group therapy with occasional sports takes.   If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, misunderstood, emotionally exhausted, spiritually conflicted, or just trying to keep going while carrying the weight of everything around you… this episode is for you.   Available on YouTube, Apple Podcast and Spotify   Join our Social Media on Facebook, Instagram and Tik Tok

He also tells stories about the hardest punchers he ever faced, the legendary Brawl for All, and the differences between boxing, wrestling, and MMA.   And yes… he calls out MIKE TYSON.   This episode goes far beyond fighting. It’s about survival, identity, resilience, and reclaiming your life after everything nearly falls apart.   Topics include:   * Toughman Contest origins   * Boxing fame and success   * Bullying and growing up different   * Obesity struggles and near-death experiences   * Regaining his life and health   * The pressures of fame on family life   * The hardest hitter he ever faced   * WWE’s Brawl for All   * Boxing vs wrestling vs MMA   * Who Butterbean really is outside the ring   * Fatherhood and becoming a grandfather   * Family over everything   * Calling out Mike Tyson   * Redemption, growth, and second chances   This is the Butterbean story you haven’t heard before.    You Can Find the Edlow Podcast on YouTube, Apple Podcast and Spotify!
