In this episode of Our Perspective Podcast, we share the story of how God provided the right male role models for Thomas, not through striving or control, but through surrender.

As a mom, I tried to orchestrate relationships out of fear, knowing how important strong men would be in my son’s life. But God had it covered.

From meeting Pastor Mike Ash in a lobby to moments that shaped Thomas’ journey.

Learning to tie a tie, men praying over him for Jesuit, celebrating his 15th birthday, high school graduation, and college milestones, this episode is a testimony of divine timing and faithful mentorship.

We also talk about:

* Pastor Mike Moore bringing Thomas on stage at Summer Explosion * Thomas sharing his testimony at Clash * Standing before courageous men and giving a bold charge * What it means to trust God instead of forcing outcomes

Anchor Verse: Exodus 14:14 — “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

If you are parenting out of fear, waiting on provision, or wondering if God sees your child’s future, this episode is your reminder that He is already fighting for them.

Thomas finally joins the podcast for an honest conversation about being the firstborn son, growing up in the church, and finding your voice as a young man.

We talk about college, grad school plans, communication styles, building relationships with professors, and what it means to lead with gentleness instead of dominance. Thomas also shares his thoughts on faith, identity, and what it’s like choosing gentleness in a culture that often celebrates dominance.

Before the microphones. Before the podcast. Before anyone was watching. There was a moment in a grocery store during COVID that sparked something in MG’s heart. What began as one small act of generosity turned into weekly $100 giveaways and thousands of dollars poured into single moms, dads, and foster families. In this episode, we talk about what it looks like to recognize your child’s calling early and how sometimes what feels small is actually preparation for something much bigger. Parents, pay attention. The calling is usually there long before the title ever is.Call it out. Speak life over it. Make room for it. I think this episode has been my favorite. It’s the sweetest story of when I finally recognized MG’s calling. But the truth is… it had been there the whole time. 🤍God is the kindest, don’t you think?
