Season1, Buried Riches, Episode 18, "Interview with Jon Lyons" Part 2

Buried Riches Episode 18 Show Notes In Part Two of this deeply personal conversation, Buried Riches continues its discussion with entrepreneur, missionary, and Live30A founder John Lyons. Moving beyond business and leadership, John opens up about the painful experiences that shaped his life and faith journey. From broken family dynamics and learning to forgive his father, to enduring the devastating loss of multiple children through miscarriage and stillbirth, this episode explores how pain can refine a person rather than destroy them. With honesty, vulnerability, and faith, John shares how suffering reshaped his understanding of love, purpose, fatherhood, forgiveness, and the importance of living fully present in the lives of others. This episode is filled with emotional honesty, wisdom, heartbreak, hope, and practical encouragement for anyone navigating pain, loss, forgiveness, or spiritual growth. At its core, this conversation reminds listeners that life’s greatest treasures are often discovered not in success or comfort, but in the courage to keep loving, forgiving, and showing up through difficult seasons.
