Resilience Under Pressure

A tractor. A bicycle. A split second that changes everything. Jim Prash joins us from the road to talk about resilience that is not theoretical, not motivational poster talk, but the kind you earn when your body breaks, your plans disappear, and you have to decide what you believe about God and about yourself. We start with a simple image: a potter shaping clay while it is still moldable. That becomes our guide for the whole conversation, from the fast changes that come with age to the daily spiritual warfare of choosing our better nature over our selfish one. Jim shares how he and his wife, Vicki, went all in on full time Airstream life, why friends assumed they were financially ruined, and how living in a “traveling earthquake” teaches adaptability, problem solving, and humility in real time. Then Jim tells the story of being run over by a tractor during a caravan stop in Georgia, followed by critical care, ICU, rehab, and the mental spiral that comes with waiting to learn what will never be the same again. We talk faith, prayer, brotherhood, and the practical wisdom of leading other travelers through disappointment, risk, and unexpected breakdowns without losing the bigger picture. If you are staring at a setback and wondering if it defines you, this conversation is for you.
