In this episode, Tommy Kilpatrick shares how he deliberately burned his life to the ground. After decades of marriage, running medical clinics, and building financial stability, Tommy chose homelessness, took a vow of poverty, and walked away from everything he owned.
What followed was a radical experiment in faith, healing, fasting, alternative health, and service. From working with Marines suffering from severe PTSD to teaching self-managed health clinics, farming, and bamboo housing in the Philippines, this is a conversation about letting go of money, titles, comfort, and control in order to reclaim purpose.
This is not a feel-good story. It is a confrontation with attachment, identity, and what it actually costs to live on your own terms.
