    Episode 100 of Break the Box is finally here 🥹🎉 For this special milestone episode, I sat down with my mom, Gina Holley, and we flipped the script… she interviewed ME using questions sent in by you guys.

    "From Survival to Sonship: Healing The Father Wound."- Mark Guerrero E 97

    What happens when childhood teaches you how to survive, but never how to feel safe, trust, or receive love? In this episode, Mark shares how growing up in chaos and father wounds pushed him into survival mode, how those patterns fed addiction and identity struggles, and how Jesus brought healing and freedom. We talk about moving from living like an orphan to living as a son, how God heals deep wounds, and how sonship transforms the way we relate to God and others. A raw conversation about trauma, identity, redemption, and becoming whole. If you’ve ever wrestled with father wounds or survival mode, this episode is for you.

    "Emotional Skills No One Taught Us Growing Up"- Crystal Sarbuland E96

    In this episode, I sit down with a licensed marriage and family therapist and my former therapist (Crystal Sarbuland) to talk about something most of us were never taught, emotional skills. We get honest about how the way we were raised shapes how we process emotions, communicate, and handle relationships today. From not knowing how to express what we feel, to avoiding hard conversations, to reacting in ways we don’t fully understand, we unpack where those patterns come from. More importantly, we talk about how to recognize those gaps and begin building healthier emotional habits over time. If you have ever thought, “Why do I respond like this?” or “Why is this so hard for me?” this conversation will help you put language to it and take your next step forward.

What started young led him down a path that nearly ended everything. But God stepped in. In this episode, Rick opens up about hitting rock bottom, the moment his family showed up, and how one decision to go to the ranch changed everything. Now, he’s helping other men find the same freedom he found in Jesus.

    "The Struggles Church Kids Hide" -Aryanna Torres E94

    In this episode, I sit down with high school student (Aryanna Torres) who’s been raised in church to have an honest conversation about the struggles many church kids quietly carry. From feeling pressure to “have it all together” to being afraid to open up about real temptations, we talk about what’s really going on beneath the surface. We also get into what parents can do to create a safe space for their kids to be real, not perfect—and why having trusted people in your life matters more than pretending. If you’ve ever felt like you had to hide what you were going through… this one’s for you.
