What if the hardest parts of your life were actually the biggest blessings?
In this powerful and deeply personal episode of The Grateful Dad, Ryan flips the script on what it really means to be “blessed.” From life-altering losses to IVF heartbreak, from moments of raw spiritual surrender to the miracle of fatherhood—this episode digs deep into the unseen blessings that show up in work clothes.
You’ll hear:
- A moving story of pain, healing, and perspective from Ryan’s personal IVF journey
- A dramatic real-life story of a father whose trials became a platform for global impact
- The science behind why we miss the blessings right in front of us
- Mindset shifts that help rewire your brain to see God in the mess, not just the miracles
Plus, you’ll laugh (or groan) at this week’s Dad Joke—and leave with a simple but powerful challenge that could change the way you see the next 7 days of your life.
This isn’t just about gratitude.
It’s about training your heart to see the sacred in the struggle.
