On this episode of The Joe Davis Show, Joe flips the script on failure. From missed shots by Michael Jordan, political defeats of Abraham Lincoln, to Thomas Edison’s 10,000 “mistakes”—we’re taken on a riveting journey through history’s greatest setbacks that led to extraordinary comebacks. But this isn’t just about legends. Joe gets deeply personal, sharing his own gut-wrenching moments of financial ruin, marital strain, and health crises—and how each one became a turning point, not a dead end.
This isn’t just a motivational pep talk. It’s a call to reframe failure as a divine setup for purpose. With a powerful reminder from scripture and a message rooted in grace and resilience, Joe challenges you to see your setbacks differently: not as proof that you’ve failed, but as preparation for something greater.
Failure is an event—not a person. This episode might just change the way you view your story.
