    Beyond Pain to Purpose: Pastor Mike Walter on Ankylosing Spondylitis and Building PPIKids | Conversations with a Chiropractor

    In this episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier sits down with local Marquette pastor Mike Walter for a conversation that moves from the most personal kind of struggle to the most practical kind of impact.

    Pastor Mike opens up about being diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis early in life, what it's like to carry an "incurable" label into adulthood, and the daily choices that became non-negotiable as he worked to stay functional, present, and hopeful. He also talks candidly about faith when the pain does not go away, the difference between knowing the right answers and actually living them, and how internal battles can show up even in people who look steady from the outside.

    Then the conversation widens. Pastor Mike shares the story behind Prodigal Preacher International, including the moments and relationships that pulled him toward refugee support, safety for girls, school sponsorship, and hunger prevention work in East Africa. You'll hear what small donations actually do, why recurring giving matters, and how transparent, consistent support can turn into real protection and education for kids who need it most.

    If you've ever wondered how someone keeps going with chronic pain, or how to make generosity feel real instead of abstract, this one lands.

    🎧 In This Episode, Discover:

    • Pastor Mike's early diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis and what helped him cope day to day

    • The ways pain and faith collide, and what he learned in the hard seasons

    • His journey to becoming a pastor, including seminary life and the road that shaped him

    • How his connection to African culture began and why it became personal

    "Please Be Kind": Life After 19 Days – Everyday Philanthropy, Second Chances, and Showing Up - Paul Meese 2 | Conversations with a Chiropractor

    "Please Be Kind": Life After 19 Days – Everyday Philanthropy, Second Chances, and Showing Up - Paul Meese 2 | Conversations with a Chiropractor What does life look like after the hospital, after the funeral, after the book? In this follow-up episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier reconnects with Paul Meese, author of 19 Days: One Man's Journey Through Grief, to talk about the next chapter: leaving his HR career, taking his family to Hawaii for Christmas, navigating the isolation of COVID, finding love again, and building a life that quietly runs on generosity. Paul shares how retirement wasn't an escape so much as a reckoning, why he chose a Christmas trip over trying to recreate old traditions, and how donating, decluttering, and "just helping where I can" turned into a pattern of everyday philanthropy. From supporting women's education and animal rescue, to stocking community resources and donating airline miles so families can say goodbye in person, he shows how small choices can carry big weight. If the first conversation was about surviving 19 days of crisis, this one is about what you build in the years that follow—and how "Please be kind" becomes a daily practice, not just a nice phrase. 🎧 In This Episode, Discover: How Paul's grief journey continued into retirement—and why he knew he couldn't stay in his old role forever What a healing Christmas in Hawaii looked like for his family, and why changing tradition mattered How the COVID years pushed him toward decluttering, donating, and living with a lighter grip on "stuff" The story of finding love again, and what it means to build a second chapter without erasing the first Practical acts of kindness: scholarships, food support, community resources, senior dog rescue, and more Why Paul believes time, skills, and attention can be just as valuable as money How to show up for grieving people in real life—what to say, what not to force, and why simple presence matters The ongoing heartbeat of his life after loss: "Please be kind. It's really not that hard." 🔗 Stay Connected & Explore: Learn More About Paul & 19 Days: Paul's Website – 19 Days: One Man's Journey Through Grief: https://20daysandbeyond.com Support Ruth's Legacy: Ruth M.

    19 Days and Beyond: How Paul Meese Turned Grief into a Legacy of Kindness | Conversations with a Chiropractor What happens when the person you built your life with is gone in less than three weeks? In this deeply human episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier talks with Paul Meese, author of 19 Days: One Man's Journey Through Grief, about the sudden loss of his wife Ruth, the chaos of hospital systems, and what grief actually looks like when you stop trying to be "strong" and start being honest. Paul walks through the 19 days from Ruth's stroke to her passing, the conversations no one wants to have with doctors, and why power of attorney, clear wishes, and real advocacy matter long before crisis hits. He also shares how anger, exhaustion, and loneliness eventually gave way to road trips, counseling, writing, and a choice to keep giving in Ruth's name. From scholarships for women in machining to senior dog rescue and donating airline miles so families can say goodbye in person, Paul shows how grief can grow into something active, grounded, and quietly powerful. If you've lost someone, love someone, or know you'll someday have to step into that advocate role, this conversation will stay with you. 🎧 In This Episode, Discover: How 19 days in the hospital changed everything for Paul and Ruth Why power of attorney, clear medical directives, and asking blunt questions can literally shape someone's final days What grief really looked like for Paul in the first year, including anger at "normal problems" and walking away from his HR career How a solo back-roads road trip and a counselor's suggestion turned into the book 19 Days: One Man's Journey Through Grief How book sales now help fund scholarships in Ruth's honor at Front Range Community College and Lakeland University Why Paul supports causes like Give A Mile and Albert's Dog Lounge, and how small acts of generosity became part of his healing The simple phrase Paul carries forward from Ruth's life and his own journey: "Please be kind."
