My Power is Made Perfect in Weakness

The Light Hit Just Right – Episode 3
There’s a paradox most men have been taught to ignore: weakness is the opposite of strength. We’ve been raised to perform toughness, to keep our guard up, and to swallow our pain. But what if the real strength isn’t in the performance, but in the admission that we can’t carry it all on our own?

In this episode of The Light Hit Just Right, I sit with that tension. I reflect on storms—the ones outside our window and the ones inside our chest—and how peace is not something we protect, but something that protects us. I talk about the ways men are conditioned to mask hurt, to turn pain into anger, to live in “performance mode” until it breaks us.

But here’s the truth: there is strength in weakness. There is power in admitting you’re a beginner, in recognizing when life is bigger than you, and in asking for help. That moment—the lump in your throat, the knot in your stomach—can be the very doorway into growth, healing, and deeper connection.

We explore what vulnerability really looks like in relationships: not anger, not finger-pointing, but the courage to let someone into your heart and show them what’s really there. I share why faith has been my anchor, how surrender to God reframes weakness into strength, and why therapy or trusted community can become lifelines if we’re willing to show up honestly.

This episode is an invitation to stop performing and start living. To find the courage to admit: I need help. Because in that admission lies the strength that changes everything.
