Today’s guest knows full well the impact a father can have on a son. Though his story is full of difficulty and misdirection today he is living a life of mission and impact due to the faithful efforts of a father figure and a discipleship program that changed his life. Christian Postel, former director of Higher Trek, joins us today to share his story and the work he’s doing to help young men become disciples of Jesus and fully engage in the mission.

Expanded Notes:
- “My perception of God was developed through how I viewed my own dad.” A thousand miles away
- The pain of separation from father created a traumatic event that needed to be worked through later
- “Your past will either be Satan’s greatest weapon against you or God’s greatest tool for you. The choice is up to you.”
- While Freud suggested our purpose is to pursue pleasure, Viktor Frankel suggested purpose is about finding meaning in life
- A mentor’s willingness to handle all of Christian’s story was a turning point in the journey of growing in Christ
- Higher Trek was the path for Christian to become a true disciple
- As a Dad, Christian wants his kids to know, see, and feel that they are loved; “Time is fleeting and I’m going to be a dad who is present.”
