009: Fired, Broken, and Called — Courtney Beard’s Radical Comeback Story "How does a man who builds others survive when no one shows up to build him?" — Courtney Beard

In one of the most raw and revealing conversations yet, Gerard Bonner reunites with Courtney Beard to unpack the downfall no one saw coming—and the comeback no one expected.

Courtney opens up about:

  • Getting fired at the peak of his ministry career

  • Driving Uber the next day just to survive

  • The strength it took to face public shame in silence

  • How The Collective was born from his lowest moment

  • Being the fixer… while needing to be fixed himself

  • Watching others steal his ideas—and how he made peace with it

This isn’t just a story about failure. It’s a blueprint for what to do when your gift gets you fired, your purpose gets hijacked, and you have to build again with nothing but faith.

Tap in. This one hits different.
