Like A Diamond Podcast

Trials that shape us into something rare- Deep in the earth, under conditions no living thing could survive, something extraordinary happens. Carbon — ordinary carbon — is transformed into the hardest, most brilliant substance in nature. We believe the same is true of the human spirit. The pressures, heartbreaks, and impossible seasons we face aren't accidents. They are the forge. Like a Diamond Podcast features real stories of struggle, trials, and the breathtaking beauty that emerges on the other side. Because diamonds aren't formed in comfort — and neither are we.

    Most people see the diamond.Very few know the story behind it.At just 17 months old, I was diagnosed with a rare eye cancer called retinoblastoma. Doctors removed my right eye to save my life. Growing up, I was bullied, struggled with confidence, questioned my worth, and carried wounds that lasted far longer than the surgeries themselves.Years later, I chose to place a real diamond into my prosthetic eye—not as decoration, but as a reminder that the greatest beauty often comes through the greatest pressure.In this very first episode of the Like a Diamond Podcast, my wife Kristen and I share the story that inspired this podcast and the message we hope every guest will carry forward:Life’s greatest trials don’t have to define us.
