In today's special episode, we are joined by a special guest Joshua Borowski from a farming community in Australia.

The reality is, that when you don't acknowledge there is a problem, it is very hard to find a solution.

When everything is failing and falling apart around you, it is very hard to believe that anything good can come out of this. However, that is exactly what is happening. That darkness and feeling of being all alone is when God is working through you the most. The simplest thing you can do is at all times remind yourself to trust in the process no matter how you feel. Because the truth is, when you endure to the end, you will win.
It is very easy to get lost when there is no hope and there is no light. The problem is that you dwell on the areas in your life that are dark and that seem to have zero fruit. We get lost and we seem to not be able to get ourselves out of it. Sound familiar? The thing to consider is that God is still working in the dark when it seems like there is no way out. You must believe that there is something good that is going to come out of your situation and to remain hopeful. Don't forget. God is with you in the dark. It could very well be that he is preparing you for something different and is removing something in your life that will no longer serve you in the future.
Today I take a deep dive into my story and talk about the real problems and challenges I faced after being buried in nearly $600,000 at age 19. There is a massive pit many farmers and ranchers feel when they are operating their farm operations and the hard truth is, we aren't opening up about what is affecting us. If you were like me, you found a way to sedate with either alcohol, porn, or social media to take your mind off the current reality of your life. The problem with this is that it leads you to a terrible place of isolation and guilt. It is time for the next generation of farmers to rise from their pits and enter into a land of prosperity.
Certainty is a hot topic in today's environment and the question I want to ask you is where are you getting your conviction? Are you looking to your wife for answers? Or are you focused on grain prices to solve the problem that exists inside of your life? There is a deeper pain and a deeper problem that is caused by you putting your trust and faith into things that bear zero fruit. There is only one place for you to find your conviction and certainty and if you are left without it, you will find yourself stuck in a dark place for a long time.
