To: My Dad — Love, Faith, and Lessons

This episode means more to me than I can even put into words. I had the honor of sitting down with my dad—my first in-person guest—to talk about his journey from the Philippines to the U.S., his time in the Navy, his unwavering faith, and the deep love he’s always poured into our family. Whether you need encouragement, a reminder that God is near, or just want to hear a heartfelt father-daughter conversation rooted in faith and legacy—this episode is for you. I pray it meets you where you’re at and reminds you: you're never alone, and you are deeply loved.Chapters00:00 Welcome01:16 Connecting Generations: The Importance of Family03:28 Navigating Cultural Differences in a New Land10:42 Finding Guidance Through Challenges16:44 Experiencing God: Retreats and Revelations20:56 Life in the Navy: A Journey of Growth27:32 Legacy of Love: Remembering Family Influences35:43 Faith as a Source of Strength42:30 Lessons in Fatherhood52:04 Learning Patience and Forgiveness56:54 The Power of Prayer and AskingKeywordsfamily, faith, love, challenges, Navy, upbringing, Catholic, life lessons, God, generational wisdom
