The Grief She Couldn't Drink Away: Finding Purpose After Loss Maureen Benkovich had built a life around health, fitness and discipline. But beneath her successful career as a personal trainer and fitness competitor was a grief she couldn't outrun: the heartbreak of never becoming the mother she had dreamed of being. After infertility, miscarriage and a failed adoption, Maureen turned to alcohol to numb her pain, hiding her depression behind the persona of a carefree party girl. Eventually, the drinking that once helped her escape her sadness only deepened it. In this episode, Maureen shares how a desperate prayer led her to surrender her struggle with alcohol, confront the grief she had buried for years and discover a purpose she never imagined. Today, through Sober Fit Chick Coaching, she helps others find freedom from alcohol and build healthier, more fulfilling lives. Her story is a powerful reminder that the life we didn't get doesn't have to keep us from finding significance in the life we still have.

Obey First, Understand Second: The Creed of World Cup Dad Our guest this week, Zach Duke, has lived a life with a winding path. From an eighth-generation Indiana farm kid to a college football player and missionary, Duke thought he knew his calling—until years of chronic illness left him believing his best days were behind him. Then his audacious act of faith pursuing soccer, a game he had never even played, gave him his purpose back. His pursuit of playing in the World Cup is a remarkable story of faith, discipline and discovering his crucible didn't happen to him, but for him.
