In this powerful and heart-centered episode of Conversations with Buddy, we sit down with Peter from Liberty House to talk about purpose, community, and the life-changing work happening right here in the Mid-Valley. 💙

Peter shares his journey growing up in Silverton and how meaningful it is to now serve the very community that helped shape him.

Peter also gives us a glimpse into his personal life—married for over a decade to his incredible wife, and living in Keizer where he stays deeply involved in the community. Whether it’s serving on the board of the Keizer Rotary Club or contributing to the Ash Creek Art Center, Peter lives out his passion for bringing people together to make a difference. 🤝✨

One of the most impactful parts of this conversation is how Peter connects his background in wrestling to his work today. 🥇 The discipline, focus, and commitment to hard work he learned on the mat translate directly into the mission at Liberty House. It’s about showing up, staying focused, and fighting for those who need a voice the most. 💪

We dive deep into the critical work Liberty House is doing—responding to over 1,500 confirmed cases of child abuse, providing trauma-informed care, and using drama-focused therapy to help children heal. ⚠️ This episode includes a content warning as we discuss sensitive topics, but it’s a conversation that matters.

Peter emphasizes the importance of shining a light on these issues, having tough conversations, and empowering the community to step in and be part of the solution. 💡

As we highlight… April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, Peter shares how initiatives like “Invest in Hope” are creating real impact and building stronger, safer communities. 🌟

This episode will inspire you to lean in, be aware, and take action where it matters most. ❤️

About Buddy Puckett:
Buddy Puckett has been in the mortgage and finance space and mentoring men for over 25 years.

This person was not making great choices and it was sadly affecting his marriage. We all are 1 decision away from something really dumb, so accountability became something Buddy knew he needed as well. Buddy’s wife, Shawn, suggested he start a podcast in 2022 to share the stories of people who have struggled,
failed, overcame by realizing the life of love, joy and peace is only available through a relationship with Jesus Christ!

If you’re looking for motivation to level up—in your faith, your health, your business, or your mindset—this episode will challenge you… 💪

Jon Moore is the definition of discipline, faith, and relentless pursuit. A follower of Jesus, devoted husband of 23 years, and father of two, Jon has spent nearly two decades serving others as a physical therapist. His journey is a powerful example of trusting God while doing the hard things most people avoid. 🙏

Growing up in Salem, Oregon, Jon developed a deep love for sports and competition early on. That competitive fire carried him through racquetball at a national championship level, multiple half marathons, a full marathon, and even two Half Ironman races. Jon lives by a mindset rooted in discipline, grit, and the belief that if you’re not growing, you’re falling behind.

What sets Jon apart is his unwavering commitment to integrating faith into every aspect of life. Whether it’s in his business, his family, or his community, he sees himself as an ambassador for Christ—planting seeds, investing in others, and using his work as ministry.

His life reflects Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” This isn’t just a verse—it’s the foundation of how he operates daily. ✝️

In this conversation, Jon shares what it really means to “do hard things.” From pushing his physical limits to stepping out in faith to start his own business, he reveals the mindset required to overcome fear, doubt, and comfort. He also talks about the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people, building community, and representing your family well in everything you do.

Jon brings a powerful reminder: your life has purpose, your work matters, and sometimes the path forward requires bold faith and relentless action. Because at the end of the day… if you’re not pushing yourself, you’re missing what you’re capable of becoming.
