Made for this Mountain Podcast

From boats to the priesthood... to a love story he never expected. In this heartfelt episode of Made For This Mountain, I sit down with my friend Steve as he walks us through the unexpected turns of his life from dreaming of designing luxury boats for millionaires, to discerning the priesthood, to ultimately meeting the woman who would become his wife. But this episode is about more than a love story. It’s about calling, surrender, clarity, and choosing love on purpose. We dive into: The tension between personal dreams and divine redirection How clarity often comes in the most unexpected places What it means to love on purpose instead of chasing feeling Why timing, faith, and obedience matter more than the plan you had in mind If you’ve ever felt torn between passion and purpose, or if you’re navigating seasons of waiting, this one will speak directly to you. Because the truth is we all know what love is. But loving on purpose, and in purpose? That changes everything.

We say we want healing… but rarely do we talk about the cost of it. In this episode, I dive deep into a truth most people avoid: Healing isn’t supposed to feel good. It’s supposed to hurt. That grief, that discomfort, that ache in your chest — it’s not a sign you’re broken. It’s the very evidence that you’re becoming whole again. I share a personal story about tearing my labrum and how the pain of physical healing mirrors the emotional healing we’re often too scared to face. We also unpack: Why healing is nonlinear and never quick The grief that comes from mourning what “could’ve been” The myth of “getting over it” vs. the power of integrating your pain Why your healing journey isn’t about forgetting the past but learning to carry it differently How healing helps rebuild your self-trust, one painful but honest step at a time If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or ashamed that healing still hurts — this episode is for you. Because the pain is real, but so is your growth. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode Joshua Rosa talks about the brutal cycle of start → stop → start again and how to finally break free with focused consistency. You’ll learn why fear is often an illusion, how limiting beliefs disguise themselves as facts, and why “I can’t because…” is the most dangerous sentence you keep saying. No one is coming to rescue you and that’s not a bad thing. It means the power to change everything… is already in your hands. In this episode, we’re diving deep into: The real fears that hold us back from starting Why building momentum is harder than it looks—but not impossible The myth of “waiting until you’re ready” How to develop self-trust in a world full of doubt See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why You’re Holding Onto People Who No Longer Serve You – And How to Let Go Many of us find ourselves chasing a feeling, not a person. We catch ourselves wondering why we hold on to relationships that we know aren’t healthy anymore. The truth is, it’s often not about the person – it’s about the sense of happiness, peace, or comfort they once brought us. We grow attached to the feeling they provide because we haven’t yet learned how to create that feeling within ourselves. The problem isn’t just the attachment – it’s the belief that someone else is responsible for fulfilling our emotional needs. In this video, we break down why we seek validation, how to recognize when a connection is driven by emotional dependency, and how to start reclaiming those feelings for ourselves. If you’re ready to stop chasing temporary comfort and start building lasting peace within, this episode is for you. Watch now and take the first step toward emotional freedom.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
