Description
Life comes at you fast. Chaos happens. You want to handle life's hot mess express; who doesn't? “Face Life's Chaos” is for you.
It's me, grampa Rod, sharing insights with my 25-year-old grandson, David. It's about living with no regrets. Gotcha covered, D.
I've seen my share of ups & downs—similar to the ones you're gonna face. On Mondays I relate new, interesting episodes applying Biblical insights to life's decisions. I invite you to listen in.
