"Miracles, Love, and Assessment"

This week, I’m sharing the first part of a conversation with my friend Paul “TAP” Ware—a storyteller, teacher, and someone who sees the world through a lens of faith and transformation.

In this episode, Paul opens up about his incredible journey, the miracles he’s witnessed, and the power of love in guiding us back to ourselves and each other. We also talk about the importance of honest assessment—of our lives, our actions, and our purpose—as a path to growth.

This is Part I of a two-part series, and I hope it gives you a glimpse into the life and mind of someone truly extraordinary.

I’d love to hear what stood out to you, so please leave a comment.

And as always, I hope you’re walking away with one less stranger in your life.

Whether you’re curious about the intersections of belief and responsibility or seeking inspiration for your own journey, this episode offers personal stories, thoughtful insights, and timeless wisdom.
