RYAN LEFEBVRE is BACK: The Shame Of Me - Part 2 (EP 28)

The Papa Ron Podcast

The first conversation (Episode 26) was so great and way too short, we had to have Kansas City Royals Radio/TV broadcaster Ryan Lefebvre back for a "Part 2" episode. In this episode, we picked up where with left off in Part 1 with Ryan's recovery from depression/anxiety. My hope was to start there and end with more conversation about the 2023 Kansas City Royals and the organization's proposal of a downtown ballpark. However, once again, we ran out of time. Does this mean we'll have a Part 3? Not confirmed but dang, we sure hope so! In this episode, Ryan offers some insight and clarity to much of what he discussed when he was featured in an interview with Journey Church in Lees Summit. The link to that video is below in this description and I highly encourage you to watch. It's VERY good! Some of the things Ryan talks about in this episode is his relationship with divorced parents as an adolescent and adult, how those individual relationships differed between his Mom and Dad and how that impacted his journey. He talks about seeking an identity as a child and finding that in being the son of a popular Major League player, coach and manager. Ryan shares a lot about his christian faith and the path he's on today. Including the time he spent with the monks at Conception Abbey Monastery in northwest Missouri. From there, he talks a little bit about his dating life but before proposing to his now wife, how he decided to stop dating and dedicate a year and half to "dating God" in order to get on track with his christian walk. Ryan is a fascinating man to listen to and this podcast could have gone on for hours. Ryan is always welcomed back on the Papa Ron Podcast. He is a man who has overcome a lot, through the glory of God and his testimony is an inspiration to all...especially those battling with any form of mental illness. Below you'll also find a Amazon link to his book, "The Shame of Me", that walks readers through his deep struggle with depression in 2005 and how his renew faith in Christ allowed him to overcome.
