Father wounds, achievement addiction, Christian identity, and men’s transformation — Dr. Jack shares how success, pain, and faith shaped the mountain within every man.
In this powerful episode, Dr. Jack reveals the hidden story behind a life that looked wildly successful on the outside — global travel, elite athletes, business success — yet was driven for decades by a deep father wound and an addiction to achievement.
He opens up about hitting rock bottom alone in a hospital room, the mentors who shaped him, the sentence that changed his life, and the long journey from intellectual belief to a living faith. We explore adoption, climbing Kilimanjaro with his son, healing the father wound, and the spiritual mountains men avoid because they’re terrified of what they’ll find at the top.
If you’ve ever felt unseen, not enough, or exhausted from performing, this conversation will speak directly to your soul.
