Summary

Today's episode of the podcast is one of the most profound conversations I've ever had.

I have the privilege of speaking with Peter Louis!

Peter is the founder and visionary leader of Braveheart Ministries. Based in Dallas, Braveheart exists to see the image, character and nature of Jesus Christ formed in people.

Peter lives in Dallas with his wife, Kristi, and five children. With a diverse and storied background as a professional athlete, businessman, consultant, pastor and teacher, Peter carries with him a wealth of leadership insights and diverse skill sets. He has written four books to date: Back to the Gospel, Back to Pentecost, Keep the Blood Warm and Now That You’re Born Again.

Peter played Professional-Soccer for FC Dallas and had a very successful career as a soccer player before his current life.

Peter is also a big runner, having run marathons & ultra-marathons. He ran a marathon to celebrate his 40th birthday a few months ago (discussed in the episode).

Peter is extraordinarily gifted at speaking on a plethora of topics, and I pick his brain on so many today. Peter shares his thoughts on pain, addiction, modern-day struggles, why worldly desires will never fufill you, smiling while running, and so much more!

Take the time to be blessed by Peter's wisdom. It blessed me immensely, and I know I will do the same for you. Please DM me with how this one impacts you!

If this episode blesses you, please share with a friend!
