On one of the darkest Father’s Day weekends of his life, Richard fell asleep after a long shift flipping burgers at Five Guys. He was burdened and depressed. But that night, something unexpected happened.

In a vivid, Gladiator-style dream set in the heart of the Roman arena, Richard was confronted with a spiritual reality he hadn’t seen before: the battle for his soul wasn’t being lost because of the enemy’s strength… but because of the crowd noise stealing his focus.

This episode is raw, real, and redemptive. If you’ve ever struggled to silence the voices around you—or within you—you’re not alone. And you’re not fighting alone! Exodus 14:14 makes a powerful statement about that fight.

What do you get when you mix a Disney roller coaster, a lost stuffed animal, and a very determined dad? That’s right - Richard’s got a story for the ages.

It all started with a family trip to Disney (circa 25 years ago) when Richard’s youngest son’s beloved Stitch (yes, that Stitch from Lilo & Stitch) vanished mid-adventure. The panic! The Disney worker consultations! The heartbreaking realization that Stitch was gone forever!

In this episode, we’ll unpack:
- How a stuffed animal drama turned into a life lesson
- What Psalm 51 and Ezekiel 33 say about God’s power to restore what we thought was lost
- And why sometimes, the thing you lost comes back even better than before

Whether you’ve ever lost your favorite toy (or just your cool), this story will have you laughing, reflecting, and maybe even shedding a nostalgic tear.

So buckle up, listeners - because this sermon on the side is for you!
