Patrick opens up about the “one things” that quietly take God’s place—power, approval, comfort, image, control, achievement, even helping—and how each one has shaped his leadership at CCB and his life at home. Through honest stories, spiritual conviction, and a season of deep surrender, he reveals how God has been dismantling self‑reliance a...

I was stepping into the unknown… but God guided every step. From the shutdown in 2020… to my d...

The episode the...

Six weeks ago, I hit a wall. Not a physical one, but a spiritual one. I looked at the man in the mirror and saw someone I swore I’d never become. I was short-tempered, frustrated, and joyless. My family felt it. My wife felt it. My kids felt it. And deep down, I knew it too. I had let stress and frustration steal my joy. I justified my anger. I blamed others. I wanted to be heard—but not with love. I wanted control. I wanted to se...
