Fear of Abandonment, Mamba Mentality, The Mystery of Faith with Michael Loomis

LB is short for "Lil Bro." Michael Loomis is my 3rd guest from the Man Overseas Retreat in Costa Rica. Michael & I have logged hundreds of hours on the phone, and I couldn't wait to finally meet him. Plus, he reminds me a lot of a younger Man, hence the nickname—except he's a lot taller and a little better-lookin'.

In this episode, we talk about his journey from Portland to Nashville, his faith that's shaped who he is today. Then we go even deeper—he opens up about what it was like growing up with a mother who struggled with alcoholism & mental health issues, how that's affected his view of love, reckoning with abandonment issues, and what forgiveness really looks like.

As a former collegiate basketball All-American, LB has strong opinions on the GOAT debate. He tells a story about sitting next to Danny Ainge at the SEC tournament a few months ago—if you love the NBA, you'll appreciate this one. From Kobe's mindset to Michael Jordan to Anthony Edwards' rise, this episode has plenty for hoops-junkies.
