Journal of an Ordinary Man is a raw, honest audio journal from a 54-year-old husband, father, and former entrepreneur navigating one of the most transformative seasons of his life. After decades defined by career, achievement, constant moving, and carrying the weight for everyone else, he now finds himself stepping into unfamiliar territory—slowing down, rediscovering faith, grieving with his family, and learning who he is without the roles that once defined him.
Recorded from his home in Denver, each episode is a simple, intimate journal entry: reflective, unpolished, and deeply human. He explores mid-life transitions, marriage, loss, anxiety, purpose, and the spiritual questions that emerge when life shifts in ways you didn’t see coming.
With a journal prompt structure, gentle narration, and Scripture woven throughout, this podcast offers listeners a quiet place to breathe, think, and feel less alone. It’s not about being exceptional. It’s about being honest. And sometimes, honesty is what ordinary men need most.
If you’re navigating change—faith, family shifts, grief, aging, letting go of control, or redefining who you want to be—the Journal of an Ordinary Man is a daily reminder that you don’t have to figure it out alone.
What You’ll Hear:
Mid-life transitions and identity shifts
Faith, doubt, and spiritual rediscovery
Marriage, grief, and family crossroads
Mental and emotional health from a man’s perspective
Stories from a childhood spent moving town to town
Reflections on purpose, anxiety, and acceptance

Day 3: A Quiet Day, a Powerful Dream, and Psalm 46:10
In Day 3 of Journal of an Ordinary Man, I reflect on a quiet recovery day after Thanksgiving and the emotional weight my family is carrying as my wife and daughters sort through my late mother-in-law’s belongings. I talk about helping my sister-in-law navigate disability paperwork for my brother-in-law’s stroke recovery, the comfort of watching football together, and how the simple act of being present can make a difference in someone else’s heavy season.
Today also brought a strange dream about my dad—someone I haven’t spoken to in nearly five years. That dream stirred old memories, guilt, and questions I don’t quite know what to do with yet.
The “Unique Question of the Day” asks: What fear are you ready to let go of?I dig into the fear of losing direction after decades built around business, achievement, and productivity—and how this journal is slowly teaching me to step into a more human, grounded version of myself.
In the spiritual reflection, I sit with Psalm 46:10 — “Be still, and know that I am God.” I explore what it means to be still when you’ve spent most of your life moving too fast, working too hard, and drowning out the quiet that God often speaks through.
If you’re navigating midlife transitions, complicated family relationships, grief after loss, or fear about your next chapter, this episode offers a calm, honest reflection on learning to slow down, trust God, and show up for the people who matter.
