In this episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, host Ginny Yurich welcomes dear family friend Dustin Lolli, the lead singer of the band Sanctus Real and one half of the duo "This Way Home" with his wife, Sarah. Dustin shares his journey of stepping into the unknown, moving from a secure situation to joining a band without knowing if it would succeed. The Lolli family has moved 25 times, each move spurred by a new opportunity and a fearless embrace of risk. Dustin recounts how he didn't even know he could sing until people started asking him to lead worship. Despite initial doubts, he found his voice and discovered a passion for music that he shares with his wife. Dustin and Ginny discuss the early years of the Lolli family juggling multiple jobs to make ends meet and the importance of creating stability through constant change. They explore the concept of a happy home stemming from internal contentment and choice, and the relentless pursuit of balance in life. Dustin offers profound marriage advice, emphasizing that he and Sarah strive to lift each other up, seeing themselves as more than a team. He speaks about the awe of standing before something bigger than oneself and the realization that thinking we're important adds unnecessary weight to our lives. As a homeschool dad, Dustin talks about recognizing his children's unique qualities and strengths, and how he and Sarah work to open doors for their kids through their careers. They believe that the risks they take can have generational benefits, and that sometimes following one's calling is essential, regardless of the outcome. Throughout the conversation, Dustin reflects on God's presence in their lives, providing hope through both good and challenging times. He shares the paradox of success, where achieving it sometimes makes it harder to determine the next step, and emphasizes that all his successes have come through a natural, unforced process. Join Ginny and Dustin for an inspiring discussion on how taking risks as parents can provide lasting benefits for our children, fostering resilience, creativity, and hope. ** Learn more about This Way Home here Listen in to The Make a Happy Home Podcast here Learn more about Sanctus Real here ** Download your free 1000 Hours Outside tracker here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/trackers Find everything you need to kick off your 1000 Hours Outside Journey here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/blog/allthethings Order of copy of Ginny's newest book, Until the Streetlights Come On here >> https://amzn.to/3RXjBlN Learn more about your ad choices.
