Through the Fire #111 - Marine and Author, Jay Setchell

Jay Setchell has had multiple near death experiences, 73 surgeries, and paralysis. Get ready to hear a powerful story of faith, hope, and prayer.Everyone carries a strength inside them, often without even knowing it’s there. The key is learning to tap into that strength when life demands it. Sometimes it comes from lessons we’ve picked up along the way. Other times, it shows up in the moment, surprising even us.Jay has often asked himself: Where does his inner strength come from? The truth is, it’s not from just one place. His upbringing shaped him: parents, grandparents, neighbors, teachers, faith, and friends all left their mark. The discipline and structure of the Marine Corps drilled into him a commitment to every cause he took on. Years of pain, frustration, and setbacks gave him a relentless determination to get back up and keep going. Jay's successes fueled his drive, and even his failures gave him fire to keep pushing forward.What Jay has learned is simple but powerful: He can’t expect his future to be handed to him by someone else. It’s his responsibility. There are ten little two-letter words he's carried with him for years, words that keep him motivated whenever he feel the temptation to give in: IF IT IS TO BE, IT IS UP TO ME. That doesn’t mean we don’t need other people. We do. Relationships, family, and community are vital to living a full life. But at the end of the day, no one else can set your goals or make you take the steps to reach them. That’s on you.So when life knocks you down, and it will, dig deep. Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. Find what inspires you. Lean into it. And remember this one truth that has carried Jay through everything he's faced:  It’s Always Too Soon to Quit!Sign up for newsletters and promotions from Jay: https://neverquittrying.com/Contact Jay Setchell:Website: https://neverquittrying.com/Contact us: Facebook @Ryan Wickline or @Through the Fire. Instagram @wickline_ryan.TicTok @throughthef1re.YouTube @ThroughtheFire.Email: [email protected] Coaching Consultation call available now...Message me!!"It always seems impossible until it's done!!"
