    5 Years Sober | My Journey of Faith, Recovery & Finding Purpose

    Five years sober. October 2021 marked the beginning of a journey that would change my life in ways I never imagined. In this solo episode of the Peace • Power • & Purpose Podcast, I share my personal journey through sobriety, alcohol recovery, faith, and finding purpose. I reflect on the last five years, the lessons I’ve learned, the struggles I’ve faced, and the role Jesus Christ has played in my life. I also talk about how my sobriety eventually led me to start this podcast and why sharing these conversations matters so much to me. Sobriety doesn’t mean life suddenly becomes easy. There are still difficult days, losses, challenges, and moments when you question everything. But there’s also gratitude, growth, and the opportunity to become a better man. If you’re struggling with alcohol, working toward sobriety, or supporting someone through addiction recovery, I hope my story encourages you to keep moving forward.

    Violent Community Roundtable | Brotherhood, Faith & The Power of Community

    What happens when men come together to build something bigger than themselves? In this episode of the Peace • Power • & Purpose Podcast, we bring together the Violent Community Roundtable for a conversation about brotherhood, faith, masculinity, fatherhood, accountability, and the importance of building strong men. Too many men today feel invisible. They’re working, providing for their families, raising their children, and trying to do the right thing, often without anyone acknowledging their efforts. Sometimes hearing “You’re doing a good job” can make all the difference. Violent Community is about more than a name. It’s about brotherhood, responsibility, and recognizing the value of good men. We’re not here to promote destructive behavior, chase social media attention, or tear other people down. We’re here to encourage men to become better fathers, husbands, leaders, and members of their communities. In this conversation, we explore: Why so many men feel invisible and unappreciatedThe importance of brotherhood and genuine male friendshipsBuilding a community rooted in faith, strength, and accountabilityRecognizing men who are doing the right thingsFatherhood, marriage, and the responsibility of leading by exampleChallenging the destructive culture promoted through social mediaWhy strong communities need strong, purpose-driven menInspired by Matthew 11:12, Violent Community represents men who refuse to remain passive in their faith, their responsibilities, and their commitment to one another. This isn’t about being violent toward others. It’s about being intentional in how we live, lead, and serve. If you’re a man searching for brotherhood, struggling with isolation, or looking for a community that values faith, accountability, and personal growth, this conversation is for you.

    The Cost of Saying “I’m Fine” | Dr. Dorothy Novitskie on Trauma, Faith & Healing

    What happens when someone gets so good at functioning that nobody realizes they’re falling apart? Dr. Dorothy Novitskie, a clinical and forensic psychologist, joins Steve Morris on the Peace • Power • & Purpose Podcast for an honest conversation about trauma, PTSD, mental health, resilience, Christian faith, and healing. For police officers, military veterans, first responders, and men who have spent years being told to stay strong, the words “I’m fine” can become a way of hiding emotional pain, unresolved trauma, and struggles that nobody else can see. But what happens when that pain begins affecting your marriage, your children, your career, and your sense of identity? In this episode, Steve and Dr. Novitskie explore: How trauma affects the brain and nervous systemPTSD and mental health challenges in law enforcementWhy men and first responders often suppress emotional distressThe difference between resilience and emotional suppressionHow unresolved trauma affects marriage, parenting, and relationshipsAnger, isolation, shame, and losing your sense of identityWhy seeking professional help is a sign of strengthHow to recognize when therapy may be necessaryChristian faith and evidence-based psychological treatmentForgiveness, reconciliation, boundaries, and graceBreaking the stigma surrounding mental healthHealing from childhood trauma and finding purpose after adversityOne of the most powerful moments in the conversation comes when Dr. Novitskie shares something a law enforcement officer once told her: “I don’t know who I am anymore. I don’t recognize myself.” For many people, the greatest struggle isn’t surviving what happened to them. It’s recognizing how those experiences have changed who they’ve become. This conversation challenges the idea that strength means being unaffected by adversity. Real resilience requires recognizing when something has affected you and being willing to address it. Whether you’re a police officer, veteran, first responder, spouse, parent, or someone carrying the weight of unresolved trauma, this episode is for you. Your past may have shaped you, but it doesn’t have to define your future. CONNECT WITH DR. DOROTHY NOVITSKIE Website:

    Marine Raider Prime Hall: Permission to Heal | PTSD, Faith & Life After MARSOC

    Former Marine Raider Prime Hall joins the Peace, Power, & Purpose Podcast for a deeply personal conversation about PTSD, faith, fatherhood, childhood wounds, identity, healing, alcohol, and life after MARSOC. Prime spent nearly a decade in Marine Special Operations Command before transitioning into entrepreneurship, human performance, and a deeper journey of personal healing. In this episode, Prime and Steve Morris talk about what happens when the mission ends, how men can use alcohol and toughness to mask pain, rebuilding fractured relationships, becoming a better father, confronting childhood wounds, emotional resilience, and finding God through difficult seasons. Prime also shares the philosophy behind Deep End Fitness and his new book, Permission to Heal: Rebuilding Strength for Warriors, Athletes, and High Performers. At the heart of the conversation is one question: What did Prime Hall have to unlearn in order to become the man he is now? This is a conversation about more than military service. It’s about learning how to stop surviving and start healing. “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.” — Isaiah 43:2 Watch and subscribe on YouTube:
