Summary

This past week we celebrated the life of one of my closest friends and former podcast guest, John Ruhlin, who we lost very suddenly at the young age of 44. John left behind his wife Lindsay, and four daughters, Reagan, Blakely, Saylor, and Layton. Please pray for his family and loved ones during this tragic time.

To honor John and his legacy, we wanted to pull his episode from our archives and republish it today. Whether it's your first time listening, or if you've heard the episode before, there is so much practical wisdom shared on how to love people and cherish relationships that it's worth listening again and sharing with those you love most.
