In this powerful episode we dive into a remarkable story of redemption, calling, and courage. Bryan Walker shares how — at nearly 63 years old — he finally stepped into the dream that had been placed in his heart decades earlier. From ranch life and nursing, to mission work and near-death from COVID, Bryan’s journey is proof that it’s never too late to live the life you were created for.

We talk about the lies men often believe — like “my time has passed,” or “my purpose ended when my career slowed down.” But Bryan’s story flips that script. With brutal honesty and deep encouragement, he reveals how every twist in his path — including depression, career detours, and raising a family — actually prepared him for his most fulfilling work yet. Now, he serves missionaries globally and lives with greater passion and alignment than ever before.

If you’re feeling stuck, tired, or questioning your value in this next season of life, this is the episode you didn’t know you needed. Whether you’re in your 40s, 50s, or beyond, there’s still so much ahead. It’s time to reconnect with your dreams, redeem your past, and step into your best third.
