In Episode 17, we meet John Wentworth.  Our conversation initially focuses on John's personal journey through trauma, addiction, and spirituality. John recounts his difficult upbringing in Flint, Michigan, where he faced significant challenges, including the loss of his mother to suicide at a young age and an abusive home environment. These experiences shaped his understanding of relationships and emotional support, leading him to a transformative experience at a men's retreat in his mid-40s, where he encountered the Holy Spirit and began to process his past traumas.

John discusses his struggles with alcoholism, highlighting the internal conflict between functionality and personal aspirations. He reflects on the emotional burden of his choices, particularly the impact on his marriage, and acknowledges the societal perceptions of alcohol that complicate its dangers. The conversation emphasizes the importance of pivotal moments in personal journeys, such as a candid discussion with motivational speaker Ed Mylett, which led John to seek help and commit to sobriety. He introduces the concept of "game film," a mental rehearsal technique that connects meaningful past events to future goals, which he practices to maintain his sobriety.

The dialogue also touches on the integration of faith into John's life and work, emphasizing the significance of personal relationships with God and community support. John shares how he incorporates prayer into his real estate business and offers Bible study sessions, demonstrating a commitment to authenticity in his beliefs. The conversation highlights the evolving openness to discussing faith in various aspects of life, including business and personal growth, and the importance of maintaining one's beliefs regardless of external pressures.

John's narrative culminates in a discussion about forgiveness, particularly regarding his father's battle with alcoholism. He reflects on the pivotal moments that led to healing and the importance of love and support from partners in overcoming personal struggles. The conversation underscores themes of redemption, faith, and the ongoing journey of personal growth, illustrating how transformative experiences can lead to significant life changes and a deeper understanding of spirituality.
