As a flight surgeon in a supersonic jet for NASA, a crew member in international theater performance with YWAM, a physician in private practice, a coach of high school football, and a co-leader of men’s missions with Wild at Heart around the globe, Brad has left his fingerprints on the lives of many and much. Yet none of these powerful roles inspire the breadth of redemptive pause as his role of Dad and his path of loving his family, particularly loving a special needs child through her short years in this world and gently and lovingly into the next. Join me in a podcast that will surely lead us back to the Narrow Road. Recently we featured Brad and his wife, Lisa, in a beautiful short film that echoes the story of hope infused in John’s most recent book, All Things New. As a complement to this interview, I strongly encourage you to check out the film as well as All Things New.
